So February is Heart Health Month, and yesterday in a supposed show of support, Canada’s Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq released a statement spelling out what Canadians can do to help themselves live a heart-healthy lifestyle.  In it she also…

I recently read an article on how to clean your home in 10 minutes when you find out guests are going to be dropping by in about that time. Obviously these so called experts (really it’s those experts again!) have…

If I had to list the top three requests I receive on a fairly regular basis, they would have to be: 1) Do you wax, pluck or thread your eyebrows? 2) Can you please send me the link for your Spiced Pear Cake? 3) Where can I find affordable – and stylish - kids decor in Canada? While the [...]

That’s Father Raymond de Souza’s view. I tend to agree. I’ve been asked multiple times over the past days what the solutions are to eradicating sex selection abortion. The fact is that in a permissive abortion regime, there are none. And the people who could end the permissive abortion regime don’t want to, ergo, they [...]

This post is so well written and worth reading for everyone, but especially young mothers. The whole thing. Here’s a taste: I think parenting young children (and old ones, I’ve heard) is a little like climbing Mount Everest. Brave, adventurous souls try it because they’ve heard there’s magic in the climb. They try because they [...]

It can be nerve-racking, so here are tips on how to prep your child for using that piece of plastic.

Sorry. But this is my blog, and the title is my take on this story: While some of the ideas suggested in the booklet Eat Better, Start Better are useful, such as how to cater for youngsters of different religions, other information is extraordinarily basic such as the fact that sugar rots teeth and fruit [...]

A ways back I blogged about how in Japan McDonald’s was rolling out lesson plans for elementary students and in so doing, blatantly healthwashing their food.In my head I somehow figured that this was a practice unique to Japan, and that a program like …

To the outsider I appear so organized, confident, patient, the yummy sexy mummy…… okay I just added that part on my own……the all together modern day mom! Yet, despite all my strengths (and there are many), I do have one major…

Today in England two fascinating events are going on. Firstly, the British Parliament is holding an all party inquiry into the causes and consequences of body image anxiety in the United Kingdom. Secondly, a group of women who’ve been burned by the d…

Today is the first day since before Christmas that everyone is back to school and work. The house is quiet again, and I feel like I can get back to my regular life.Like writing, amongst other things.A winter cold made…

Brigitte Pellerin, no stranger to ProWomanProLife and now at Sun News, writes well about the death of Rick Santorum’s baby: Dennis Miller once explained that he considered “everyone and everything to be comedic fair game, except for the helpless.” You’d think Down Syndrome kids and dead babies would count as helpless. But no – some [...]

Emma’s ex-husband gave their two twenty-something sons a $30,000 down payment. She thinks that was a big mistake.

Here’s a clip from CBC’s Power and Politics where Don Hutchinson of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (he’s a lawyer by training) and Joyce Arthur discuss the topic. I wholeheartedly support MPs bringing up this issue. And MP Stephen Woodworth is not bringing up abortion, but rather,  an examination of what is in the womb, [...]

The ads cut straight to the point – childhood obesity is real and we can’t continue to turn a blind eye towards it.The ads have also been rather soundly criticized by experts who worry about their impact on the already rampant biases that are endured b…

…are contagious. The sun-drenched common room at the south end of Columbia Garden Village retirement home in Invermere, B.C., is quiet most days. The shuffle of slippers on linoleum, the clink of a coffee mug in the sink, or the click of knitting needles are often the only sounds. But every Tuesday and Friday, 18 [...]

Hope you’re enjoying this holiday season! This week is traditionally my blog-cation and so instead of writing new posts, here is a favourite of mine from back in 2008.My 4 year old came home from a birthday party the other day with a loot-bag that sav…

In Brazil abortion is not part of the cultural framework, and abortion laws are very restrictive in the country. As a result when children are born with abnormalities, even very extreme abnormalities, we have women and families who warmly welcome these new lives without hesitation. It’s inspiring really. Welcome to the world conjoined twins Emanoel [...]

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has made it clear his government will not reopen the abortion debate. But Stephen Woodworth, the Conservative MP for Kitchener Centre wants to reverse course. And force Parliament to enact a …Read More – Syndicated…
