Try saying that a few times without fumbling the words. My best friend is my ex-husband’s first ex-wife. We have our intro’s down pat. When people ask us how we met, that’s exactly how I explain it (for her it goes more along the lines of ‘she’s my ex-husband’s new ex-wife). It’s the easiest, most …
I’m not exactly a lazy person. I’m actually a bit of a work-a-holic and get bored quite easily. However, when it comes to things like meal prepping and forward planning with food, that’s where my laziness kicks in. I know I need to eat healthy, I know I feel good when I eat healthy and …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone celebrated its 20th Anniversary last week. It seems to be ages ago but it’s also surprising how quickly time flew by. I think no one foresaw, twenty years ago, the impact that such a publication would have, what the novels would become, or how it would mark more than …
Most people live fairly complicated lives. When you actually sit down and take stock of everything that we do in a day, all the demands we have, the jobs we work, the extra curricular activities our kids go to, the #instaworthy food we are supposed to be cooking from scratch and the general keeping up …
I’d love to be able to say that I managed to get my financial life in order before my twenties were over, but that just didn’t happen. Sure, I was in a much better situation at 29 than what I was at 21 but we also didn’t have access to the same information at 21 …
My dad has this saying: “Don’t let them live rent-free in your head.” It is by far the best advice I have ever received, and in turn, the best I could ever give, even if it has taken me a number of years to live a life worthy of it. I came to a point …
There are not many things as annoying in this world as an argument on Facebook. They’re everywhere. And for some reason, parenting pages and groups seem to attract them in droves. Call them ‘keyboard warriors’, or ‘trolls’, or any other name, they are all the same. They get on these discussion threads with one goal …
Being successful often comes with a massive to do list. As women, we do so much for others and we simply do not put ourselves first often enough. But without giving our body, our mind and our overall self a break, and taking care of us, we cannot possibly be successful. Successful women formulate habits …
We’ve all heard about fat shaming, skinny shaming, body image shaming and just about every other kind of ‘shaming’ there is – but did you know health shaming is a ‘thing’ now? It’s appalling and it absolutely needs to stop! In a world where we are more health conscious than ever, and have access to …
They say love makes the world go round but I don’t ever remember seeing the stock markets trading in love. I love money, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Money allows me to live a life I love, it allows me to feed my family, live in a beautiful home, go on holidays, sit …
