Breath stolen. As your feet slowly sink into the powder soft sand, your stress begins to melt away and with each lap of the warm ocean water, you find yourself more and more relaxed.

Every company has a story, but this little Canadian company’s story is particularly sweet. Its’ a love story, an adventure, and a scrappy start-up tale. Leslie needed to be dropped off in the Canadian wilderness. Peter had a float plane. The pair fell in love, bought a farm, and began making bath salts in their country kitchen. So cute!… View Post
My “babies” don’t need my input on Halloween costumes anymore. Sigh. Who told them they could grow up so fast? As much as I miss helping them plan for the big night and play dress-up, one thing I don’t miss is the last minute costume change. My girls were famous for it! I can’t tell you how many times we’d… View Post
Overwhelmed, grateful, happy and now getting caught up on a tonne of laundry.

The Turks and Caicos has stolen a piece of my heart. It’s the one place I just can’t seem to get enough of. So as… View Post
It’s right around the corner, Thanksgiving! Traditionally this day of the Turkey is one of my favourites. No pressure of finding the perfect gift, no worries about battling snowstorms to get to the ones you love, and now that I have a daughter away at University it means she’s coming HOME for a few days. So what’s to stress about?… View Post
I am a lioness of a Mother. I love my girls fiercely and would do anything……yup, just about anything to protect them. I’m proud of my girls, all they have done and the young adults they are becoming.
