  • The Vegetable Garden: Week 3

    •

    My vegetable garden was planted three weeks ago and I’m seeing a lot of growth this week, with both vegetables and weeds. I’ve been trying to combat the weeds but I’m cautious because some of the plants are still very small and I don’t want to accidentally pull them out…

    •

    I’m on a mission to prove that you can get healthy and strong without spending a fortune on gym memberships and supplies. I’m starting simple by going outside and walking every day. My goal is to run every other day, which I often do, but walking is an absolute. There…

  • Create the #CheesecakeoftheYear to win $5000!

    Cheesecake is my all time favourite dessert.

  • Pay Tribute to Moms Around the World with a Neno Mom Bracelet

    Even though it was 21 years ago, I remember my first Mother’s Day like it was yesterday. I was a young single Mom so I had no expectations for any acknowledgement or celebration for Mother’s Day, and I didn’t think I needed it. My parents had other plans though, and…
