Monday woes? Call me crazy but I'm not hating today. I fought the #sundayscaries by taking a rest day and focusing on myself and healing my body and mind. Not that I needed healing but it's definitely good to just decompress and relax. That doesn't mean I didn't move my body though. I took the opportunity to do a good stretch with Pilates and Yoga. Both focusing on the muscles and the mind.... Plus I'm really feeling my hair today and that certainly doesn't hurt. See more

30 was.. Airplanes and vacations. Beaches and swimming pools. Family dinners and hockey games. Water falls and mountain tops.... Certificates and diplomas. Raises and savings. Weight loss and muscle definition. Coffee and cinnamon buns. Friendships and face-times. Sons and nieces. Weddings and family. Bothers and sisters. Board games and video games. Love and laughs. 30 wasn't what I thought it would be. It was so much more. See more

I've been doing yoga more and more, and hating it less and less. My goal? Be able to touch my toes for the first time since I was a child. See more

This super unflattering picture was my entry to the Town of Edson’s Holly Jolly Jog. Which was our towns way of encouraging a bit of exercise during the Holiday Break. While I didn't jog, I did the loop admiring all the Christmas directions they put up along the way. Did you get out and move your body over the last few weeks?

Christmas feels so very far away, but I'm doing everything I can to still make it special for our boys. Cancelled our holiday. Cancelled our back up holiday. Cancelled our dinner. Just stay home and spend some time together.... Because Christmas isn't cancelled. Family isn't cancelled. Love isn't cancelled. See more
