I was motivated by a mommy friend, Ronit from @leagueofmoms, to write this post after she spoke at the MOMSTO Wine Festival last month. And since I’ve been on maternity leave now for seven months it feels like the right time to share my story and how I’ve been living my best and healthiest mat-leave life too. Plus, as cliché as it sounds, time if flying by all too fast! I’ve tried my hardest to make the most of each day, but #MomLife often gets the best of me. With that said, here are my tips to making the most of my mat leave, as well as the real deal when it comes to doing so!

As many of you have read in my posts, my journey to baby #2 was not an easy one. WhenFirst Response asked to interview me to dig deeper into my story, as part of the “This is My Journey” campaign with Today’s Parent, I knew it would bring out a lot of emotions. This campaign is intended to share women’s unique pregnancy journeys to help provide support to other women and families to know they’re not alone. My first pregnancy was so much different than my second, which I could never have been prepared for, so wanted to share my story to help others.

Mamas, it’s official - we’ve just partnered with Pampers! There are so many reasons why I would consider us a ‘Pampers family’ from the get-go and it goes beyond just the diapers and wipes themselves. Read on to learn more about why we are so loyal to this brand!

There’s still a lot of stigma around chiropractic care during pregnancy, so that’s exactly why I’m writing this post. I wanted to share my positive experience, but also share Dr. Aliya’s answers to some frequently asked questions about receiving chiro care during pregnancy. I’m sure you have had some of these questions yourself and hopefully after reading this you will have some reassurance!

It's always just been Harper the past 5 years; it's crazy to think that soon enough there will be another "mini me". I asked some of my fave mamas on the gram for some advice on going from one to two kiddies. They give me the low down as I prepare for our second bundle of joy any day now!

I promised I would continue the conversation on pelvic health by interviewing an expert in the field. Read on for the full interview with Lamiya, who is a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist at Toronto Yoga Mamas. Plus, I share my experience with pelvic floor physiotherapy! 

Read about our second Babymoon in the Cayman Islands and how it inspired me to write a letter to my first born before the arrival of her new baby brother or sister.

Read some of the most common health and fitness related New Year’s resolutions and how you can take them from shabby to successful just by making a few minor tweaks!

I love the holidays, but sometimes it can be challenging to keep fitness goals in check. Staying active during this season is the best way to keep off that “festive 15”. My mini is one to be up for any kind of outdoor play despite the weather and I’m usually the one to opt for an indoor sweat session instead. I’ve teamed up with Sport Chek to share some quick tips to help you look and feel your best this holiday season (all while staying on track with your fitness). 

It's true, we're expecting #2! I wasn't planning on sharing the full story of our journey to getting pregnant, but I realize now that talking and writing about it has a way of helping me heal and become stronger too! 

She is jumping for joy about being a big sister! I'm equally as thrilled, but jumping isn't exactly one of the exercises I'm doing right now. Read more on my fave prenatal moves.
