One thing I will never deny is my love for food! Yes, I make an effort to exercise effectively and yes, I do eat healthy - packing my meals and snacks when I go off to my full-time job. But sometimes, I need that break from the kitchen and need to enjoy some down time with girlfriends. 

This is exactly why when I heard about President's Choice launching Babylicious that I had to get a bunch of mommy friends together to dine at one of the city's finest French restaurants.

Say hello to a healthier and happier mama ... Anne-Marie completed the April 30-Day Challenge and not only lost 10 lbs., but she trimmed 7.5 inches off her waist. AMAZING!

How many of you are guilty of taking tons and tons of pics of your little ones only to have them sit on your phone or on your desktop for months (or years)? Okay, so I'm guilty of this too! I absolutely love taking pictures and I really should print them so that I can frame them or have a photo book in my family room that can be admired by guests. 

My Mom Crush Monday goes to the beautiful Ariane, who is a mom of a little 2-year-old cutie! Seriously, how cute is her mini?! Ariane just completed the April 30-Day challenge and lost 7 lbs., 3 inches off her waist and 2 inches off her hips! AMAZING!

This month you might also recognize some familiar faces in the latest issue of Today's Parent! We are so grateful to have made a small appearance in such a respected parenting magazine - thank you!! 

Finally, mothers don't have to suffer going to mediocre restaurants just because they are considered "baby friendly"; President's Choice is launching BABYLICIOUS, which is a dining experience that allows us mothers to enjoy high-quality restaurant food in the company of our little ones!

Exciting news - our friends over at Binky Magazine just launched vol 7. of their mag and you can find us there too! We are so grateful to be a part of this as we share some fitness tips for the modern mama. But don't just go there for us - the magazine is loaded with beautiful images and kids styled in clothing that you and I could have only dreamed of as a child. This mag is unlike any other and I am so proud to be a part of this issue.

Denise is a mom of two girls who was committed to making a true lifestyle change. She wanted to build healthy habits that could last her a lifetime.

In 30 days with a flexible eating plan and home workout regimen, she lost 8 lbs. and two inches off her hips AND waist! But most importantly, she feels amazing! Clothes fit different and she raves about her new "defined jaw line". She is such an incredible and funny woman; I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her because she is kind and sweet, but also hard-working and committed. She made my job very easy!

What is it with a mother's relationship with coffee? I wasn't even coffee drinker before and now after having a baby, I NEED one to get me going. "Life begins after coffee". This is so true for me now and in fact, there are some health benefits to coffee. Check them out!

What an honour to be featured on cocoandcowe.com. I can't tell you how much I enjoy following her journey through motherhood - from her DIY projects to her fun snapchat adventures with her little one - she is just such an inspiration in so many ways! 

Are you loving coconut water as much as we are? Lately we have been obsessed with Jax Coco Coconut water and my body is feeling the difference.

What a lovely start to the week! I was interviewed by the ladies over at Social Common and featured as one of their #SocialCommonMoms. I shared a little bit of background on myself and how No Tummy Mommy came to be. 

I had my first chiro appointment with the talented and beautiful Dr. Aliya Visram and I felt amazing after. I knew going into this that I was poorly aligned and that my day job, which requires me to drive most of the day, left me with bad posture! 

Check out the official blog post on Bonjourblissblog.com and check out some of the great shots from our workout together. I'm so glad my daughter has a new workout buddy for life! 

We had lots of fun incoporating hula hoops and kettlebells, but for the most part we focused on bodyweight exercises; we kept it really simple (especially since the girls were with us).

#MCM Mommy Crush Monday goes to Chrissy Teigen who is expecting her first baby! Who doesn't love this down-to-earth supermodel, who also happens to be an enthusiastic home cook and passionate eater? Her cookbook is preety incredible. Check it out if you haven't already - Cravings Cookbook! 

Happy Sunday FUNday! Tagged by the beautiful mama Lana Michele to share 10 more facts about me for Unite In Motherhood's anniversary! So here goes:

If you knew me pre-Harper, I could be found in the gym 6 days a week for hours at a time. Things have changed and prorities have shifted; exercise is often 20-30 minutes at a time now and usually done in the comfort of my 800 square foot condo. Otherwise, I'm sneaking out at lunch hour to get in a quick workout at the local Goodlife. 

Happy 182nd birthday to our city! I love this city, the people in it and everything there is to do in Toronto. Tonight we found a local meditation class and this weekend we will be will be hitting the AGO for Family Sundays!!

I thought I would share 10 interesting facts about our beautiful city, Toronto. Some of them I had no idea about either. 

Out with the old and in with the new? Not so fast! I try my best to keep up with the hottest new trends in fitness, but sometimes the best moves are the old school traditional ones done years and years ago.

Here are three somewhat “new” fitness classes to hit the scene, which I think are worth checking out!

February is the month of love, so we're on the LOT 801 blog today talking about the importance of SELF-LOVE!
