Tech Mommy

As I went through the TedxRegina twitterfeed of one of my favorite bloggers- Schmutzie. I came across a quote from her that stopped me in my tracks. I’ve spend a lot of time thinking about this very thing. I thought about it all night and most of today. Am I finally at a point where [...]

Being on maternity leave is hard financially. On top of a dramatic reduction in pay, My husband and I have decided to cap our credit cards and cancel our line of credit. We do not want to get further into debt while I am at home with Azalee. In order to make ends meet, i’ve [...]

After being given the go ahead to exercise after giving birth to my daughter, I decided to start the Couch to 5k program The fantastic news is, a whole group of amazing women decided to join me. Last week was week one in our C25K journey. As I had made it to week 4 before [...]

I admit, I used to scoff at the thought of a toddler or preschooler with a tablet. Who would voluntarily hand over an expensive gadget to a child? Turns out, I would. Last year, I decided to buy the original 7″ Galaxy Tab. It was a great device for the office. I could easily modify [...]

A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog post about my experience (and complications) while in labour with my 3 year old daughter Tenesea. I wondered if I was nuts for going through labour again. As it turns out, I was completely insane. I woke up at 7:00 on the morning of Friday, March [...]

Yoga. Just the word makes my shoulders drop and my breath deepen. I can visualize the flow of my sun salutations and the absolute calm that comes over me during Shavasana. When I practice yoga, it’s just me a mat and an hour and a half of guided stretching and meditation. Yoga makes me feel strong, powerful and [...]
