There’s something about that back-to-school, back-to-routine feeling that just feeds my soul. 🍎🍂

I’ll forever be a sunshine child and a summer girly, but there’s something so calming about knowing what to expect each day. The routines, schedules and planning lighten the mental load and quiet some of the overwhelm—and I see that same sense of calm in my own child. ❤️

Whether you’re holding onto summer ☀️ or welcoming the cooler days ahead, I hope you find a little calm in the rhythm and routine that comes with a new school year and the start of fall.

Happy Friday! 🍁

Does the return to routine bring you calm?

🍋 Liv’s Lemonade Stand is OPEN today! 🍋

If you’re out and about and would like to stop by for a glass of lemonade and support Liv, she would absolutely love to see you! 💛 Send me a message if you need our address.

Can’t make it but would still like to support her? You can send an e-transfer to [email protected] and I’ll make sure it gets to her.

Liv decided that 50% of everything she makes today will be donated to the SPCA de l’Outaouais, our local SPCA. 🐾❤️

Such a sweet way for her to wrap up summer — serving lemonade, seeing some friendly faces, and giving back to animals in our community — before heading back to school next week. 🍋☀️

We’re so generous with the way we love other people, and so unforgiving with the way we see ourselves.

Maybe we deserve to be on the receiving end of our own love, too. ❤️

This conversation is bigger than one celebrity. It’s about how we talk about bodies, mental health, and each other. 🤍

Sometimes life isn’t saying no—it’s quietly saying, “I’ve got something else for you.”

Trust the timing. Trust the detours. Trust that what is meant for you won’t pass you by. ✨

There are days I have to talk myself into lacing up my shoes. Days when I’m tired, overwhelmed, or convinced I don’t have the energy. I’ve never once regretted going anyway.

Running doesn’t fix everything, but it always gives me something back. A little more strength. A little more peace. A reminder that I can do hard things. ❤️

When life feels heavy, I dance.

Over the past few years, dancing around my bedroom to songs that make me happy has become one of my favourite forms of therapy. When I can’t get out for a run, when my mind is racing, or when I’ve spent so much time holding space for everyone else that I’ve forgotten to hold some for myself, I press play.

For those few minutes, nothing else exists except the music, the movement, and the reminder that my body isn’t just something to care for—it’s something to celebrate.

It’s amazing how one song can soften your stress, lift your mood, and help you find your way back to yourself.

This song has been doing exactly that for me lately. 💛

40 Years Later ✨

Yesterday, on the eve of turning 40, I spent the day at Nordik Spa-Nature — slowing down, breathing deeply, and letting myself be still in nature.

And I found myself reflecting… not on milestones, but on the quieter truths life has taught me along the way.

So here are 40 things I know after 40 years of living, loving, healing, growing, parenting, rebuilding, and becoming:

1. Your mental health matters.
2. Children need love, not perfection.
3. Fresh air can change everything.
4. Real friendship feels safe and easy.
5. Rest is not earned.
6. The way you speak to yourself matters.
7. Pets make life better.
8. Movement is self-respect.
9. Don’t shrink yourself for others.
10. A home should feel safe.
11. Nature brings you back to yourself.
12. Healing isn’t linear.
13. Be yourself, not approved.
14. Love takes effort and choosing each other.
15. Exercise changes more than your body.
16. Your kids watch how you treat yourself.
17. Outgrowing things is growth.
18. Water is a quiet form of health.
19. Everyone is carrying something unseen.
20. The best talks happen in simple moments.
21. Calm is something your body needs.
22. Looking good can help you feel good.
23. Strong women just keep going.
24. Go camping — slow down and breathe.
25. Sleep matters more than we think.
26. Kids carry emotional safety forever.
27. Joy and grief can coexist.
28. Boundaries are love too.
29. Ordinary moments are often the best.
30. Real love doesn’t make you beg.
31. Nourishment matters more than restriction.
32. Time outside is never wasted.
33. Comparison steals joy.
34. Self-care ripples outward.
35. It’s never too late to begin again.
36. Peace > proving a point.
37. Laughter carries us.
38. Our bodies remember everything.
39. Be here.
40. Say it.

40 feels less like getting older…
and more like coming home to myself.

Soft. Strong. Grateful. ✨

I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately. Life has a way of making you step back and really look at what matters most — where your energy goes, who needs you, and what deserves your heart.

This past week has been spent with my mom. Doctor’s appointments, scans, difficult conversations about prognosis and next steps, helping her transition back home, and trying to process all the emotions that come with watching someone you love go through something so hard.

Today, after a week that felt impossibly heavy, I went for a beautiful run and it helped me more than I can explain. For a little while, I felt clearer, calmer, stronger. I thought about my mom the whole time. About how strong she is. About how much I love her. About how hard this all is.

More than ever, I’m realizing how important it is to take care of my own mind and body too. Running. Moving. Eating well. Sleeping. Fresh air. Taking care of my mental health. Protecting my energy and keeping my priorities straight. Not because life is easy right now — but because it isn’t. Because I need to stay strong, grounded, and healthy for the people I love most.

I think so many of us wait for a wake up call before we start prioritizing ourselves and our health. But the truth is, our bodies, our minds, and our relationships deserve that care now. Life is fragile and unpredictable, and if there’s one thing this season of life is teaching me, it’s that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish — it’s necessary.

Mother’s Day looks a little different this year. Less flowers and brunches, more showing up. More sitting beside her. More listening, helping, advocating, worrying, loving.

And the truth is, I will be there for her through all of it. The way she has always been there for me. ❤️

I feel so lucky to live close to the Gatineau River, along with so many beautiful streams and lakes nearby. Every spring, the sound of running water fills me with hope and joy for the warmer seasons ahead. It feels like nature waking up again — and something in me wakes up too.

If you can, get outside this week and spend a little time near a body of water. Let yourself slow down, listen, breathe, and take in the benefits for yourself.
