February is the month of love and because sugar cookies and chocolate dipped strawberries are the typical Valentine’s day favourites, Sabrina and I thought that we would have a pizza party for this month’s So Yummy Mommy recipe. But this is not your regular pizza, but it taste just as good. Promise!

Traveling as a family is such a beautiful thing! Sure it can be stressful and it’s not always easy, but it is totally worth all of the memories. Before children, my husband and I made a promise to ourselves that we would continue to travel with our family. Whether it is a trip across the globe or a short road trip up north, we were committed to showing our kids all the different places in the world. As they say, “Life is short and the world is wide.”  Plus, we always believed that our children could learn so much from travel that they may not necessarily learn in the classroom. Keep reading to read why we’ve made Blue Mountain a yearly tradition and learn why I feel family travel is so important!

I’ve always made health a big priority for my family and myself. Being active is one thing, but I wanted to make a bigger commitment to improving our nutrition this year. Don’t get me wrong, we are great eaters, but with our growing family I needed to step up my game. Read on about how and why we’ve incorporated hemp foods into our routine!

With acai bowls and energy balls still being on trend the past year, a lot of us had forgotten about the good ol’ regular smoothie. Not me! I have always been a smoothie fan because nothing can replace this quick and easy protein fix!

For all you last minute shoppers, here is a list of some of my faves that you can still get this weekend! PS - THIS IS NOT SPONSORED!

Donut Worry, Be Merry! So Yummy Mommy took the basic donut and made it a holiday hit!

As we approach the end of 2018, we often tend to focus on what we can do in 2019 to be better and we starting putting goals in place for the new year. All of this is great, but it’s equally important to take some time to think about what you have accomplished in 2018 and recognize how effin’ amazing you are. Cheers to that!

SLEEP. Such a foreign and forgotten word (mamas, am I right?!). Twenty-one days ago marked Daylight Savings and as most of you know, that time shift can sometimes make or break us! With that said, it was on this day that I announced that I had teamed up with @Philips to experience their Wake-Up Light – Harper and I received our own lights to try and I really didn't know what to expect. On November 4th we took on the #21BeautifulMornings Project and I made sure to share all the results on the blog! Click the link to read all the details.  #PhilipsCanada

Today is No Tummy Mommy’s 4-year Blogiversary! I’ve learned so much through this journey. I’ve connected with so many people and it has been a busy ride with ups and down, but an amazing ride to say the least. Read on for the short of the long story of No Tummy Mommy’s evolution over the years. Sure, I sleep a little less and work a whole lot more, but I am so grateful. My hands are full, but my heart is fuller! 

Have you ever spent time in the baby monitor aisle only to leave the store feeling confused and overwhelmed? I’ve been there too. Also, a lot has also changed since Harper was a baby, so I had to really do my homework. 

We are two months into the school year and if your kids are anything like my Harper then they are probably getting a little bored of the same ol’ snacks in their lunch box. I knew it was time to change things up and give my daughter’s snack situation a refresh! Try this easy nut-free granola bars for this week’s school snack!

Some promises made to my baby girl, Noa …

Guys, I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with @BabiesRUs_Canada this year and agreed to a role that I couldn’t turn down. They’ve asked me to review some key products and I’ve made a commitment to provide my honest opinion on each. I know as a mother it can be so confusing when shopping for various items that it helps to read reviews to get the real deal beforehand. With that said, I’m kicking off this partnership with reviewing The Graco TurboBooster TakeAlong. Keep on reading for the full review … spoiler alert: it’s a good one!

It’s all too easy to beat yourself up to lose that “baby weight”, so today I took the time to sit down and really think about ten things that I believe are so important to remember when it comes to postpartum fitness (that go beyond fitting into your pre-baby wardrobe).

Motherhood looks different on everybody and what a beautiful thing that is! I have to say it is such an honour and privilege to raise two daughters. I feel so grateful to have this role as a mother and want to do the best I can to raise healthy, confident and strong little women. When I think about how I can do this, I started writing down a list of things I felt would support this nurturing. 

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!

t has been hard keeping this project on the DL, but I couldn't wait any longer. The So Yummy Mommy series is officially here!! I've partnered with my good friend, Sabrina, who is Registered Holistic Nutritionist and also a mama of two! Throughout my pregnancy with Noa, she was my go-to for all things nutrition and so what better person to team up with to bring you The So Yummy Mommy Series! 

With only a couple of days in one of our favourite places to visit, we made the most of every minute. We made sure to stay at the best hotel, Loews Miami, and hit up all the must-sees in less than 48 hours. Read on to see why I believe Miami is super kid-friendly and why we decided to stay at Loews!
