Disclosure: I was compensated to facilitate this blog post. My opinions, however are honest and my own, as always. I remember it like it was yesterday. That baby smell. Long before I had my own babies, I was the daughter of a mama that founded a center with “that baby…

As mamas, we are constantly struggling with the balance of doing enough and being good enough for our children.  It is always on my mind; did I let them know how much I love them today? Was I too angry when they didn’t listen? Did I teach them something today?…

By now, you will have heard, no matter where you live in the world, that Canada has officially legalized the possession and use of marijuana for adults. Truth be told, October 17th was not something I marked down on my calendar to remember, but it was clearly a “high-light” for…
