Here in Canada, we are in the midst of a long weekend. Not because we are celebrating Thanksgiving. No, we got that done with a while ago. No, we have a long weekend because…honestly, I don’t know why we have a long weekend.

Perhaps I haven’t mentioned it, but those you know me, know that I am a chocoholic. I pretty much have a piece of chocolate every day (…reaches for chocolate while typing). And although it is a staple in my diet, I have made it very sparse in the home because I didn’t want my kids to be hooked on sweets at a young age. Believe it or not, my first little one didn’t have chocolate until he was three years old.

 “You are going into pre-term labour and we need to have you admitted.” I was 28 weeks pregnant with my twins. I was not prepared for anything that would happen next.  As a mama of multiples, you start your pregnancy with full knowledge that you are at a higher risk…

While I am not thrilled to think that the holiday season will soon be upon us, I am thrilled to find fabulous new products, toys and services. So when Melissa & Doug contacted me with their Terrific Twenty List and Giveaway, I knew it was something I had to share with you!

I don’t know about you, but I find it really easy to feed my children well. However, when it comes to me, I am getting stinking lousy at it! With the change in season, and the rush of school activities and holidays ahead, it would make perfect sense to eat well for my own health. But here I am, a little under the weather and I should have practiced what I always preach.

I always feel bad for children that suffer from severe eczema. It can be so painful and it can take years for it to go away, if ever. That’s why I am so happy to be part of La Roche-Posay Canadacampaign helping 100 families across Canada live a more comfortable life with eczema.
