Local Love For Jill Yoga
I’m all for discovering new activewear and when I do, you better believe I will tell you about it. What’s more, when a brand is local to Toronto then it's really caught my attention.
I love supporting local Canadian brands especially those that promote a healthy lifestyle for the entire fam. Say hello to Jill Yoga activewear! Aside from being a Toronto brand (which I love), I was really drawn to all the vibrant and bold colors right off the bat. If you know me, you’ll notice that we lack a little color in our workout wardrobe, so this line really brought life to our closet! Seriously, if you look at previous pics you will notice a whole lot of black. Boring, I know ... but not anymore!
Shoes Speak Louder Than Words
Sometimes we all need a little retail therapy! I actually just discovered Designer Shoe Warehouse Kids is here in Canada and it’s changed how I shop for shoes forever. I’m sure you can agree that kids feet grow so darn fast that you end up buying so many shoes to keep up. We're off to Mexico tomorrow and I needed to get her new sandals and flip flops, so it was perfect timing that I found DSW!
Share Your Heart with WWF - Canada
As you know, we make health a priority in our home, but I do emphasize the importance of the health of our Earth and all life on our beautiful planet! Our health truly does go beyond our household and as her mother I want raise a compassionate and caring child who not only wants to take care of herself, but also others (animals and our planet included)!

'Tis the Season for Staycations!
Last month our family trip to Miami got cancelled due to concerns related to Hurricane Matthew. I was really looking forward to getting away, but that trip just wasn't in the cards. But I didn't give up ... I was determined to do something! The idea of a staycation intrigued me and now I can't wait to share my 44 hour experience at 44 Charles.
I am a WE Families Ambassador!!
It's official - No Tummy Mommy is a WE Families Ambassador! We recently attended the first WE Day Families event here in Toronto and felt inspired more than ever to give back in simple, meaningful ways.
"Mommy Time" is a MUST!
I know how challenging it can be to allow yourself some well-deserved mommy time, but it's absolutely necessary for your mental health. Pampering yourself, whether it's a mani and pedi at your favourite salon or a solo coffee break at your local cafe, it is so important to give yourself that down time. Sure, that 'mom guilt' is real, but it actually shouldn't be. You deserve a little TLC too and it will improve your mood and keep you sane! Plus, your family deserves mommy at her best.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We are almost halfway through October which brings us to Canadian Thanksgiving. This weekend is usually a time when we feast on a little too much mashed potatoes and bread, plus one too many glasses of vino. But once this weekend is done, there is just no more excuses to get yourself back no track. Sure, cooler temps might give us a better reason to cover up with oversized sweaters and boyfriend jeans, but why not make October the month you take it up a notch with some new fitness goals? Let’s do this, mamas!
7 Life Lessons My Mini Has Taught Me
Every day I try and be the best mom and role model to this little girl. She watches my every move and learns from the things I do. But I realize more and more that she's actually the one teaching me. Motherhood has changed me in so many incredible ways! Here are 7 things she has taught me and I'm a better person because of it!
New Month, New Mommy.
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.

A Mama’s Guide to a Successful Staycation
I love to travel, but vacations sure have changed after having a baby. The idea of packing up and jetting off for a week can sometimes be daunting with a child and can take a whole lot of planning. Therefore, a staycation was a concept that I embraced with open arms! Plus, there is just something magical about slowing down in your own city and appreciating it as a tourist.

What does it mean to have it all?
I was asked this question last week and I had so much trouble answering it because my answer was wildly different than it was pre-motherhood. A few years ago I would’ve said a trip to Maldives coupled with a wardrobe of my dreams. Today, my answer is far from that.
