There was a time when I thought there was no way in hell I’d EVER give up coffee. Everything that I had read about autoimmune disease recommended eliminating coffee, but surely there had to be another way? I’d honestly go to bed at night and think about the coffee I […]
At last, the treat recipe I’ve been working on with the Tigernut Butter 2.0. I was always a fan of the chocolate covered peanut butter balls , you know the ones you find at holiday gatherings in the assorted goodie plates? They would just melt in my mouth, AND spike my […]
I feel like I’ve had way too many colds lately. I really haven’t been getting the sleep that my body needs due to a two year old waking up in the middle of the night. Every. Single. Night. So Mama’s system and energy is running on low and I’m catching […]
We live in Northern Ontario, so once fall hits, we know it won’t be long before winter begins and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. I DO enjoy the change of seasons though, and fall is one of my faves. I love that the weather cools off, but not too cool, […]
All my wisdom teeth are now gone! It went really well, no major flares. My hubby and parents were awesome helping out with the kids so I could get the rest I needed. I’ve been meticulous with my cleaning and mouth rinsing and everything seems to be healing well…except the […]
Around ten years ago I had two wisdom teeth removed. I opted to only get two removed rather than all four, since it was possible I may have room in my mouth for the other two. Not the best decision I’ve ever made, because fast forward to today, I do […]
We’re getting back into the groove of things after spring break last week. We had a great week together, ice fishing, sleepover at Nana and Grandpa’s, swimming, playing with friends, and baking with Mom! Kids were happy with their week together, and this Mama was pooped out by the end. […]
It’s still winter here. Cold/flu season, stay in the house and watch movies kind of weather. Today was actually a snow day for my little man. He was thrilled to stay home, although, I did drag him along to playgroup with his sisters. He ended up having a ton of […]
I just started bringing my girls to playgroup regularly again after a loooong break. It feels good to get back into going and the kids are loving it. I’m also enjoying some time to talk to other Moms. It has brought back memories of when we lived in Ottawa. […]
I tried out my Mom’s waffle maker one day and absolutely loved it. I knew I needed to buy my own. I settled on this one, since it was inexpensive. Now I’m wishing I hadn’t cheaped out, and bought the same model as my Mom’s, simply because it is prettier. […]
I love cinnamon. I have always been a huge fan of cinnamon. There’s just something about the sweet spicy flavour that draws me in over and over again. I love medjool dates. Pre AIP, Larabars were my go-to snack. A bar made from dates and nuts, brilliant! Now that I’m […]
