Over the past month I’ve been getting a lot of PR pitches for products that I “absolutely MUST tell my reader’s about because oh-my-goodness either they or their mom’s will love this”.

Hurray! It’s Spring! You know what that means? It’s time to celebrate the re-birth of man with EASTER! And with Easter comes Easter Egg Hunting! Why do we hunt for Eggs? Two reasons: The egg shape is very similar to the shape of the tomb that Christ arose from. Because eggs were a symbol of the… Continue Reading
For the past week and a half I’ve been feeling like poo. Feverish, tired, achy, cold… ya know the drill. You may even recall from my Motivation Monday post that I’ve been having a hard time waking up in the morning lately. Well on Wednesday the fatigue and fever turned to immense …… Continue Reading
This is a rare Saturday night post from me – but I’ve got some thoughts in my little head that I need to share with y’all… It happened again… The post-race blues.

Some of you may recall that I *just* missed a Sub-2 hour half marathon at the Scotia Bank Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon last October. While I was very proud of my finishing time, I was also a tad disappointed that I was a mere 31 seconds shy of finishing under 2 hours. So with the… Continue Reading
