Confession: I’m woefully unprepared to write this post, because I didn’t anticipate my LightForce braces would come off so quickly. On my calendar, this post was slated for July. September at the latest. And yet, here I am – sans braces – removed 14 months to the day.
Another confession: I’ve never been SO IN LOVE WITH MYSELF. I’ve taken to sending “tooth selfies” to friends and family. Unsolicited, of course. Peep the before and after.
A few months post-removal, my texting behaviour has weaned. Slightly. (Add to calendar: Send more tooth selfies.) …
A warning: this isn’t simply a laundry list of Monos luggage features. There’s a website for that, and if you’re looking for a straight review, Google will take you there. Instead, this post is intended to provide colour commentary; a little extra info into why Monos may be worth checking out. …
It bothered me… enough to raise my concerns with my husband. He scoffed; it was one tooth, barely noticeable. Hardly a reason to spend thousands of dollars for braces! It was a hard no from him. Wanting to believe he was right – it wasn’t THAT bad – I dropped the subject. …

With love on my mind: a recipe for Wild Mushroom Risotto, one of my go-to “Date Night In” meals. Risotto is easy to make but requires patience and persistence. There are no shortcuts, but with care and attention, it is always worth the effort.
This tax season, I’m taking steps to turn that dream into reality: by getting my taxes done from the comfort of my home with a 
I know that many new mompreneurs are in the same boat. Especially if this is your first or second year identifying as self-employed (congratulations on officially elevating your side hustle to replace your full-time income!), you may not have the time or expertise to ensure you’re taking advantage of every tax credit, tax strategy or tax savings available to you. Listen, I get it! The thing about passion projects is that it’s easy to focus on what drives you, and usually, that doesn’t include calculating the depreciation on the car you use to drop off your homemade welcome mats….
1. Psoriasis is a lifelong condition.
However, things weren’t always so simple. Let me rewind:
I was first persuaded to 
Be sure to pin the following recipe cards for a taste of paradise at home – I’m sure you’ll feel all the vacay vibes while recreating these popular cocktails! (Tip: Simply leave out the alcohol for a delicious mocktail.) …
Conversations that I’d convinced myself I could put off for months (years?) suddenly became a priority. And while I know that my boy’s father will take the reins for much of the “talk”, as a woman, and as a Canadian mother to boys who may choose to become sexually active in the coming years, it’s my responsibility to openly discuss HPV infection, cervical cancer and how to help protect against both. By getting vaccinated to help protect himself against HPV, his own risk of getting infected is reduced and he may, in turn, be less likely to transmit HPV to his partner(s). …
First impression: the styling is gorgeous. I expected the 2021 Toyota Sienna to be spacious – but I didn’t expect it to be sexy. The interior boasts a clean and streamlined design with a sleek dashboard, a 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system and the innovative Bridge Console, which is the key to allocating personalized space to the driver and front passenger. …
There’s no doubt it’s more important than ever to file correctly and get every dollar we deserve. However, finding work/ life balance in COVID times is also a challenge; both my kids have been learning from home for almost a year, and in between being a parent, entrepreneur, photographer, at-home chef, armchair therapist… sigh, the list goes on!… I don’t necessarily have the time or energy to prepare my own taxes. My main goal heading into this tax season was to obtain the largest possible tax refund while staying safe at home. …
The brand-new 
The HUAWEI P40 Pro boasts a Quad Vision Leica Camera, which allows you to take extraordinary photos at any time of day and at any distance. In a world where we use “the Cadillac of…” to describe the cream of the crop, ladies, Leica cameras are the Cadillac of smartphone cameras. Let’s talk specs:

Now that we’ve officially spent 3/4 of the year getting used to our “new normal”, there’s an unspoken willingness among friends, family and fellow parents to simply move forward. No, 2020 isn’t what we expected. Yes, we will pivot and adjust.
