Let’s be real: kids today are drowning in screen time. If you gave them the choice between Fortnite and fresh air, nine times out of ten they’ll pick a controller over a soccer ball. Their brains are basically being deep-fried in pixels. And as a mom who has actually studied child developmental psychology (yes, I nerded out…
If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant, you already know: it’s not “just a job.” It’s a crash course in business, leadership, and human behaviour that rivals any university degree. When people ask me what I do, I sometimes joke: “I’ve got a PhD in hospitality.” The truth is, after 20 years of working as…
Life. *Insert exasperated sigh*. I work full-time evenings, and between four hockey schedules, cheer, dance, and gymnastics, my calendar looks like a Crayon just threw up all over it. (I attempted to colour-code and massively failed because things just keep getting added) Thank God for my superhero husband and his ability to go with my…
Well, that was fast. Summer 2025 showed up, dropped a bunch of memories in my lap, and then peaced out before I even had time to finish my coffee. I swear I just bought sunscreen and pool noodles, and now I’m staring down a fall calendar that looks more like an air traffic control schedule…
This past year has been a season of transformation. Not the soft, gentle kind you read about in the self-help books (and we all know I own basically every single one of them)- but the real kind. You know… the kind that’s messy. The kind that hurts. The kind that rocks you to your core…
Okay. So it happened. The burnout hit, and it hard hard. And the best part? I knew it was coming- but I ignored every bloody sign and continued to push myself more and more. It’s almost as though I subconsciously wanted to feel as drained and empty as humanly possible- which is wild. So, I continuously put…
To The Mom That’s Verging a Burnout: I see you. I know what you’re feeling. I know that you think you’re totally over this parenting gig and you want to run away and start a new life. I see you breaking down in the shower because it’s the only place you can get away to…
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines growth as “the process of forming or developing something,” whereas I was always under the impression that growth meant heading to the store to grab larger pants (preferably with an elastic waistband) after a few too many Oreo cookies. First of all, who’s to tell me how many cookies are too…

According to an inspirational quote I saw on the ‘gram, life is full of peaks and valleys. And we can obviously assume that this is the truth because we are seemingly living through a time where everything you read on Google/Instagram is straight up facts. Truth-bombs if you will. But I can relate to this one. Peaks…
