This is an {un}blog, and not really a blog (because I never really do anything completely conventionally), but I certainly do have a lot to say and share (for those of you who know me, you did not need me to spell this out). I’m SO fortunate to be able to connect with people, products, and ideas that I find incredibly inspiring every day, and I hope to use this virtual space to give you an inside look into what’s going on in my (crazy) world…which, I share with you.
Along with my small but mighty team, we will be posting content under 3 main departments, and encourage you to share with us as well. If something excites or outrages you, if you have a product or service that we should know about, or should you have any comments, complaints, criticisms or compliments please be in touch.
September was a transitional month in so many ways – the start of school (or back to work), cooler temperatures and shorter days, and, if you’re like us, we still long for our gardens, local food, the canopy of trees and water, and all else that flourishes in the summer.

How great is it to enjoy a hearty bowl of pasta? As a busy business owner, mom and wife, we stock a lot of noodles and jars of sauce because pasta is one of my family’s favourite fast-foods.
Not all pasta is created equal. (more…)
Halloween produces more boos, eeks, screeches and ding-dongs than we should tolerate. In an attempt to make sure our kids don’t hate us, and our neighbours, family and friends don’t ridicule us (although some of us may be used to this by now – especially me), this post will provide you with useful resources and suggestions – hoping we can all together, inspire a less scary Halloween (since, boycotting the holiday altogether is a little ambitious and un-spirited – for this year anyway).

Labour Day is not only the final weekend of summer holidays, but it also signals new beginnings, or “happy middles” as we like to call them around here. (more…)
Buying a product or retaining a service is an obvious way to support a friend or family member’s business, or a company you admire, but there are other ways to offer your support without making a purchase.

Labour Day is not only the final weekend of summer holidays, but it also signals the beginning of something new for so many – it can be a new grade, a new work schedule, a new family routine, or even just a time to commit or recommit to healthier habits. (more…)
We spoke with Marsha Fenwick, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Cancer Coach who uses the power of food to help optimize your health and improve the symptoms of disease and illness. We found out how to choose the right nutritionist, why the latest food trends won’t work for everyone, and how to deal with cravings in healthy and delicious ways. (more…)
This summer has been super heated, and if you are anything like us, well, we’re just trying our best to keep our cool. There are infinite healthy reasons why we all need to chill out – both physically, in this sweltering summer heat, but mentally as well. (more…)
There is something very grounding about trees. They are solid, stationary and huggable at all times. And, with deep roots firmly in the soil and branches reaching out and growing, trees are a life force and we have a lot to learn from them. (more…)
