Planning for a day at the beach is both exciting and humbling. Exciting because of the weather, waves and wonderful boys. Humbling because, well… guys really have the better end of it on this one, don't they?
But instead of focusing on our imperfections, why not have some fun picking out the right swimsuit and beachy essentials that you can feel confident...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNo baby knows how to fill a diaper quite like my son. It's epic, really. Even as a newborn when we heard the grunts, saw the redness in his face and the concentration in his stare, we knew it was time to brace for the worst.
But ladies, get ready to thank me because I have figured out how to get my husband to change almost every evening and weekend diaper our son has had for...

Many of us are a little shy about our mid sections, whether you've recently had a baby like me or genetics and/or donuts are to blame. Doing 100 crunches every night before bed is both boring and unlikely so my hero, Trainer George put together 5 super exercises you can do at home to tighten those abs.
Abdominal Backstroke

Let's be honest. The single most exciting thing to buy in the spring is a new pair of shoes. The second most exciting thing is the first pedicure of the season (and of course, weather warm enough to show it all off). This spring, we have more shoe choices than ever. Literally everything is in style. Floral? Check. Chunky heels? Check. ...

I'm sure you've heard the expression "Teacher's Arm". I apologize to all teachers out there, but you know what it means: the under arm jiggle that increases with age, most noticeably when writing on a chalk board (do they even use those anymore?). Unfortunately this condition doesn't discriminate. Even stick thin arms can fall victim to it. The only way to...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe short answer is you might want to reconsider that. I just returned from four days in New York City with my husband and baby and was quite disappointed to discover how hard it is to get around with a babe in tow. Sure, it's a big bustling city and space is always an issue but it went beyond that. From small inconveniences like waiting on the side of the sidewalk until there was...Sponsored

If you are hoping to be in great shape for the summer, now is the time to start. I love exercising with my Personal Trainer and Kinesiologist, George Gianniotis, a.k.a Trainer George who is a master at coming up with kooky exercises that seem funny at the time, but you definitely feel the burn later. He has put together a bunch of workouts targeting every large muscle group,...

I always love looking at the runway collections for spring because it doesn't matter if it's Paris, Milan or at home in Toronto, the clothes are always cheerful and fresh. There were a number of standout trends for spring, but these 3 are the most universally wearable and the ones you are most likely to find in any store:
Bright Colours
Greta Constantine, Pink Tartan, Joe...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis is a naughty Easter(ish) drink I invented. Since the kiddies are going to be eating lots of chocolate this weekend, there should be something for the adults too. It was inspired by the Cottontail Punch in the Spring 2012 issue of Food and Drink (p.127), but that one called for butterscotch liqueur, which I don't like and there wasn't any chocolate. ...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love dressing up and wearing a full face of makeup, but life as a Mommy makes that a much bigger challenge than is worth it most days. So, I love me some products that can achieve great results with minimal effort. I also love me some sugar. These are a few things on my radar right now:
