5 Things To Do When Your Child Has an Autism Diagnosis

March 26, 2021 No Comments

My son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of three. He is now 21-years-old.

Is Anyone Else’s Sanity Hanging by a Thread?

March 12, 2021 No Comments

Who doesn’t love a loaf of rustic, fresh baked bread? I sure do! A carb lover to the core, I am usually the first one at the table to rip up the loaf in the bread basket and lather on some butter, olive tapenade or take a dip in some olive oil and balsamic vinegar or even better, homemade soup.

March 3, 2021 No Comments

I Couldn’t Be Happier About Kids Going Back To School

February 16, 2021 No Comments

I would have posted me doing the happy dance on my social media last week when Ontario announced the kids were going back to school on February 16, but I was too busy.
Too busy being a mom of four, running a business, volunteering, writing a book and launching another season of podcasts. Doing none of them very well, I might add.
