Instagram post 2156797614733276067_20421661 I can’t believe my BFF found a sweatshirt with my name on it! I mean, what are the odds? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m definitely a late bloomer when it comes to coffee. I didn’t start drinking it until 47, but like all new passions I tend to go in fast and furious, so I started with espresso, black, thankyouvermuch. I’ve since learned that caffeine is a psychoactive drug (hat tip to Psych100 @queens_university for the newly acquired info), that I *may* love lattes more than men (LOVE LOVE LOVE my @brevillecanada Bambino Plus), that my used coffee grounds are a great fertilizer for the garden, and that I can also use my used coffee grounds to make a WICKED face and body scrub that hands down beats anything I can get in the store. Seriously, I can not get over how smooth my skin is. So yeah, I’m calling it. Coffee and I are going to make it. 😍 What’s your favourite way to enjoy coffee? #coffee #caffeine #blackgold #caffeinated #supercharged #instagood #coffeeislife #deathbeforedecaf
Instagram post 2152418268853799653_20421661 It’s #WorldEggDay, the day we celebrate the humble but mighty egg with @eggsouefs. Eggs are a HUGE part of our diet and every Sunday, I hard boil a dozen for quick use during the week in salads, snacks, lunches, and dinner. The egg is one of the most versatile foods out there. Don’t even get me started on frying, poaching, coddling, scrambling, baking, shirred, and whipped. Click the link in my bio for a fool-proof way to get through Monday to Friday lunches with the versatile hard-boiled egg! What’s your favourite way to eat eggs? #ad #eggs #lunches #mealprep #food #nomnomnom #foodstagram #cobbsalad #Chickenfarmers
Instagram post 2150227517134845743_20421661 Do you have a favourite @airbnb ? I fell in love with this gem, @lalunadigiulia in Podenzana in Tuscany and a short drive to Cinque Terre. ❤️I can’t say enough good things about the owners who are truly three of the nicest people you’ll ever meet; Maurizio, Anna and their daughter Giulia. Also not to be missed in this area is Panigacci, an ancient bread that originated in this area. If you’re going to carb overload this is the place to do it. Great restaurants in the area include La Gavarina D’oro and Ristorante Per Bacco. At the end of the day roll your very content belly back to La Luna di Giulia - a perfect quiet retreat. Click the link in bio to take a closer look. I’m already dreaming of returning someday. #airbnb #Italy #wheretostay #dametraveler #Tuscany #wonderful_places #passionpassport #italytrip #beautifuldestinations
Instagram post 2146722832327244721_20421661 Me: How many times am I supposed to stand up and dust myself off? BFF: As many times as you need to. Me: Alrighty then.*brushing off my pants* Today is a personal strategy day to establish next steps and reset. In doing so I am thinking of all the things that I felt were mountains but turned out to be molehills and it‘s a great way to remind myself that the things that seem daunting coming up will be conquered as well. As it turns out, my DNA test confirmed I too am 💯 that bitch. So here I am, dusted off, standing tall and remembering that hell yeah, I CAN do it all. Like drive an RV, raft on Class 5 rapids, assemble furniture, change filters in my car, jump out of planes, enrol in school, bring home the bacon and leap over small buildings in a single bound 🦸‍♀️. Last year at this time I drove an RV around to four provincial parks, something I thought I could NEVER DO. I ended up having the time of my life doing so. Click the link in my bio to read the story I wrote for @ontarioparks about conquering fears and doing it on my own. And if today you’re feeling beaten down, take a minute to remind yourself of all your accomplishments and then move forward with confidence my friend. You’ve got this. #Ontario #camping #rv #independence #divorce #singlelife #empowerment #confidence
Instagram post 2142417116363983806_20421661 Of course, I attended the #ClimateStrike in Ottawa today. Did you attend one in your area? The climate is not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue. I’m not sure why we keep bending to the deniers, I’m looking at you @hon.maximebernier. Science doesn’t lie. The best part though is that humans are an inventive species and collectively we can literally save the ground beneath our feet if we work together. We know we can harness the sun, the wind, and the water for clean energy. We can stop using plastic and still live rich full lives. No one is suggesting we go live in caves for heaven’s sake. But change has to happen fast, and continuing to ignore it won’t make it go away. If you’re as concerned about #ClimateChange as I am and the future of the planet for your children, please request to the join the #GoMamaBear Facebook group (Link in bio). In there a group of concerned parents share daily news and tips to make changes in big and small ways every single day. #greta #climatechange #savetheplanet #Ottawa #Canada #fridayforfuture #klimatstrejk #schoolstrike4climate #changeiscoming
Instagram post 2141585234021780945_20421661 So #nationaldaughtersday was yesterday, but who says you have to celebrate awesomeness just one day a year? I’m a proud mom every day of the year. #love #daughters #family #familyfirst #momlife #happiness
