Wednesday Confessions: The Potato Cleanse Edition

I'm back and here with one confession...

  • I'm on a Potato Cleanse. Somehow I convinced my husband to do this cleanse with (not quite sure how I did that) and we are on day 3. The cleanse is comprised of potatoes, potatoes, and more potatoes, with some non-starchy veggies thrown in for variety.  I will admit that I've been super hangry and downright grumpy during the first few days.  I'm pretty sure it's my body revolting and turning me into the Incredible Hulk on the regular. Anyway, hopefully day 4 is easier. I've done cleanses before and somewhere between day 4 and day 5 is the turning point where the anger calms down and your body settles into its new way of eating.

Organic Options for All

If I had to choose one thing I value above all else, it would be having options.

As a working mom who is desperately trying to do the best I can in so many areas, I need options when it comes to how I work, how I raise my kids, and how I spend my free time. But most of all, I need options in how I meal plan and grocery shop for my family.

And it’s because of this that I am so excited to finally have the option of purchasing organic food products that are Canadian Certified Organic and budget-friendly! Even better? They’re Great Value Organic, which means they are available at Walmart – the store that I regularly frequent for my grocery shopping – and they come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee!


See? A whole section dedicated to organics!
So now that I’ve discovered this option of purchasing quality organic items for my family, how have we been incorporating them into our lives? The question might be better phrased “how aren’t we incorporating them”!?

Raw Vegan Lifestyle: A Look Back

Two years ago I became fascinated with the raw vegan lifestyle. I can't recall exactly why I became interested in it (I really love food) but I did and I embarked on a month long journey into watching YouTube vlogs and reading every book and blog I could find.

In the end, I decided that I would try 5 days of a complete raw vegan lifestyle and I would document it on YouTube.

Wednesday Confessions

I've only got two confessions for you today but, boy, do they make me look super duper AWESOME.

  • Last week, I took my kids to skating (that's not the confession). It's a mad rush to get the kids dressed in an overcrowded dressing room and on the ice within 10 minutes of them getting out of school. But I did it! PHEW. I was very proud of myself, watching my kids skate circles around the other kids on the ice. But as I was standing there in all my glory, so very very very proud of my abilities as a mother, one of the coaches skated up to the glass and announced (very very very loudly) "Ma'am, I need you to meet me at the benches. Your sons skates are on the WRONG FEET." Yes, that's right, in my rush to put their skates on I had mixed up their skates (they're a size apart) and put two right feet on one child and two left feet on the other. Already feeling like a complete moron, I was then joined by my two sons on the benches and not one, not two, but THREE skating coaches and a couple of parents who were standing nearby, all offering to help me change my kids skates. Obviously because I was too dumb to get it right in the first place.
