I think we all have a little dribble of addictive personality in our soul. I know I do. I tend to fall into patterns, routinely. Some of these patterns are positive, my regular gym visits, time in the veggie garden, […]
As we are nearing our second decade of marriage, my husband and I are putting more time and effort into building OUR relationship, away from the kids, which is what led us to spending a …
I love transition, which is probably why Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons. The change, the work, the effort to create (or clean up) and prepare for the moments when we stop. This year our …
We would be considered a "self catering" sort of family. We are big into hiking, healthy meals and early bedtimes. So when we were invited to check out Beaches Resort in Negril, Jamaica... we weren't …
I am a constant sort of person in my day to day life. I love routine. I eat the same breakfast every morning (Green smoothie and a Bulletproof Coffee) and make sure I am at …

I was visiting with a friend this weekend, and while it was amazing to see her again after 2 years apart, the reason for her visit wasn't a good one. She is on her way back …
Its a perfect sunny winter's day. Cold outside, but warm from where I sit. I have my notebook out, with a list for the day laid out in front of me. I have an appointment at the …
I'm not an athlete (surprise) and never really have been. I prefer a life of moderation, with a few moments of higher intensity or indulgence as my mood suits. I'm nothing extreme. I eat "moderately" well, …
I will admit, I am a sucker around the holidays. I love the lights, the shopping and the magic of it all. The fires crackling and the excitement building as each day ticks off. Just last …
