Over the past two years, my daughter and I have taken time to set aside gently used clothing, toys and books to donate to Jessie's Centre, which is a multi-service resource centre for pregnant teenagers, young parents and their children. My daughter enjoys visiting the centre with me where I also take the opportunity to remind her of how extremely blessed we are to have the things we do.

As a mom of one I am still learning how to balance everything and I still get uptight when things go off schedule. I hear this becomes easier when baby #2 arrives (no, I’m not pregnant). Exercise has helped manage my stress and I laugh a lot more because of it. So this weekend, get moving wherever and whenever you can!
