Hey everyone, I wanted to dedicate this post to my girlfriends who are always there when I need them. According to statistics Canada women live longer than men – 78 vs 83! I think a major reason could be that men are more stressed than women are.

Man, that’s when the fear kicked in! I started looking at cookbooks and searching for recipes online and I really...
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to go on a few of these a year! I know some people have a few of these trips a month but how do you keep it together at home always being away? I find it difficult enough working everyday and balancing it all at home. Now add travel to the mix and all goes crazy. Some of the people I know always tell me “wow you are so lucky to travel for work”. To tell you the truth, I know I’m lucky. I meet great people. Go out to new places with new people! Sometimes I dance until...

Do you ever feel like you just can’t stop crying? Like no matter what you do you just want to sob… This past weekend I was so emotional! I was a big ball of tears and no matter what I did I just wanted to cry more! I cried in front of my hubby and then in front of my extended family and friends because I couldn’t hold it in.
