#ad Are you over or under when it comes to how your #toiletpaper goes on the roll?For me, it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s @charmin Ultra Soft Mega Rolls. When you have a #mommybladder like me, you can appreciate that it’s twice as absorbent as the leading national brand and their softest just got even softer. #enjoythego #charminultrasoft #bathroom #softness #charmin . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCMY_BAxJo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n17cck6qctto

With my birthday just a few days away, I decided to treat myself to a photo shoot with the amazing @petrakingphotography. I can’t wait to see the final results. She made me feel so at ease and almost felt like as real model. For someone who doesn’t like getting their photo taken, that’s huge. This year, I’m celebrating woman I am.

I decided instead of doing my typical #mcm this week I would save it and do a #womancrushwednesday and help celebrate the #grandopening of the new storefront space for @marketsbydreamday. This market is a space where you can shop for all kinds of handcrafted goods from a ton of your favourite local vendors. So many talented ladies all in one spot. I was able to pop in today and pick up a few goodies and am already thinking about what I will be getting next time. Congratulations ladies, wishing you all the best!! #localvendors #shoplocal #handcrafted #durhamregionmakers #purchasewithpurpose #durhamregionhandmade . . . . . #thatmomlife #babessupportingbabes #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzQbQXAaOl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ic262ufwf15

Since I was 16 years old I’ve been doing anything and everything to hide my grey hairs. Years ago I started going blonder and blonder because I found I could go longer between colourings. In my warped sense of mind, blonde hair with dark roots was much more socially acceptable than dark hair with white roots. We live in a world where age can make or break you. Youth is celebrated and aging is frowned upon. Wherever you turn you see marketing aimed at reclaiming your youthful appearance. Being a single woman who wants to appear desirable, aging gracefully was not an option. But as each year passed, having to dye my hair seemed like was a process of no return. At this point, there was no way to easily grow it out and I wasn’t going to cut my hair short. I pondered having it dyed grey so I could naturally for ages. With my birthday just a few weeks away, I finally accepted myself and the inevitable. I went to a friend that I trusted to help me embrace my grey and help move forward to my desire for more self love. It’s only been 24 hours and between my constantly admiring it in the mirror and multiple DMs from family, friends and followers, I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Finally this is a truer version of who I am and who I strive to be. Don’t be afraid of embracing change, live true to yourself. #nofilter #nofilterneeded #goinggrey #grombre #aging #aginggracefully #thisisme #ageisjustanumber #lovingmyself #selflove #changeisgood #hair #grayhair . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvr6O0tghwp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yv49zr4iiz2n

If I waited for a man to buy me flowers, I’d never get them. And besides, if I want something for myself, there is no reason I can just go and get exactly what I want. These tulips from @vanbelleflowers were the perfect way to welcome spring into my home yesterday. #spring #tulips #flowers #doingitonmyown #selfcare #selflove #bouquetofflowers #welcomespring #illdoitmyself #whoneedsaman #vanbelleflowers . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvReIvJAXLi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b7evlt31jvch

This isn’t another post about me trying to get back on the fitness wagon. Today on the blog <link in profile>, I’m sharing my recent experience with an Internet troll and why I am not letting them get me down. The internet can be a nasty place and I just can’t understand the reasoning behind it. #hatersgonnahate #trolls #kindnessmatters #dontunderstand #movingon #itsmylife #dontcare #internetfriends #keepingitreal . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPOcBmALQm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cef531wcdfi5

It’s Monday again and today my #mcm is Adriana from @chaos.and.caffeine. This Mama’s stories have become something I look forward to watching on a daily basis. Her obsession with #donuts, #boybands, all things #pumpkinspice and #Netflix keeps me in stitches. And then there was the nail saga of 2019. 🤣🤣. She has also been my #accountabilitypartner for our fitness goals for the past few months and although I have totally fallen off the wagon (again) she keeps checking in and trying to keep me motivated. Seriously love this girl!! Give her a follow if you aren’t already!!! #momcrushmonday #babesupportingbabes #fitnessgoals . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvKEL9ZguI4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=162irudpqtnt0

If anyone is looking for me this evening, this is where you’ll find me. It’s been a while since I’ve looked forward to a book to be released but if @catandnat ‘s Mom Truths is even a fraction as funny as they are in real life, I’ll be totally laughing out loud with this book. Goodnight screen time, hello book. Thank you @amazon for release date delivery. #momtruths #catandnat #book #reading #donotdisturb #releaseday #lol #funny #thisismotherhood . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu68wOfgOPv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10558l2thwe9n

Happy Monday! I hope my fellow Mama’s are enjoying #MarchBreak so far. This week I have an amazing #mcm with Renee from @mscmommylife. This #mama is a Stage IV metastic breast cancer thriver and is doing everything she can to live her absolute best life! Whether it is checking off meeting @theellenshow off her #bucketlist, raising awareness for #breastcancer, or just enjoying every single moment with her family, she is a force to be reckoned with. I have so much admiration for her! The first time I met her, I felt like we’d known each other for years. Such a sweetheart!!! This is one Mama you need to be following!!! #rallyforrenee #metastaticbreastcancer #momcrushmonday #babessupportingbabes #momsquad #girlssupportinggirls . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4Ap3sgPSf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zz2cgv73g9yz

Getting a sneak peak at the @bigbrotherca house last week was such a cool experience and I learned so much about what goes on behind the scenes and all the work that goes into pulling the show together. A big shoutout to everyone on the #bbcan7 team, you’ve done an amazing job. Can’t wait for the season to start tonight on @globaltv. Thanks again @thehungryhomemakerblog for inviting me, such a fun night! #bigbrother #realitytv #behindthescenes #canadiantv #bbcan . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buqw6lKg1Sj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n1briurntj79

It’s a cold and blustery Monday so let’s fire things up with this week’s #shoutout to the dynamic duo of Sarah and Apryl from @thiskindalife. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sarah in person and she is just as lovely as she appears on social media. I can only image Apryl is the same and hope that someday soon I can test my theory on that one. 🙂 These two keep it real and aren’t afraid to talk about or try anything. Did you all see Apryl’s polar bear plunge this past weekend? She’s way braver than I would ever be. Be sure to follow these 2!!! #babessupportingbabes #momcrushmonday #momsquad #girlssupportinggirls . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUS_9MAOY8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g0fb821ijbj4

Anyone else feel like Sunday’s are synonymous with big breakfasts and lots of coffee? I woke up not feeling 💯 but decided to pull myself and this meal together. My belly is full and my mess has been cleaned up. Can I just spend the rest of my day on the couch and watch @netflixca ? #sundayvibes #sunday #baconandeggs #hashbrowns #breaksfast #foodporn #foodphotography #getinmybelly #coffee #bigbreakfast . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRQCA_AXiW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p357kc5dxhgr

Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery to get out of a funk. Decided to take a short break out of my “office” today to clear out the cobwebs that seem to be dragging me down. Just sitting and enjoying some time away from the screen did just the trick. Ready to get back at it. Now if only my @timhortons #rolluptherim is a big winner!!! #fingerscrossed #socialcontest #coffee #doubledouble #lemoncake #inafunk #feelingbetter . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMYOGWgzJz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12mmdkwku2iuz

Finally got a chance to check out @brockstespresso last week. It’s such a cute space and thinking it will be my #goto spot for coffee meetup with friends from now. If you’re in the #Whitby area, pop in and check it out. #notsponsored, I just really enjoyed it there. #coffeeshop #localbusiness #shoplocal #espresso #coffeedate . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #gtablogger #cappuccino #locallymade #smallbusiness #durhamregion (at Brock St. Espresso) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFagFWgVmv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a5oggi2raz55

#tbt What you see is definitely not what you get at the @museumofillusions_toronto. The boy and I got to check out this new museum in #Toronto this past weekend and it was so cool. All the different #opticalillusions really played tricks on our minds. The one exhibit where you walk across a bridge and it looked like the tube around it was spinning totally messed with my mind. The boy loved that one so much he went through it 4 times. I felt like I was going fall over the railing. It’s a #mustsee if you are in the Toronto area. #museumofillusions #illusions #giftedexperience #funforallages #yyz #seetorontonow #discoveron #explorecanada #staycation #thankyoutoronto #dailyhiveto #blogto . . . . . #thatmomlife #canadianmoms #canadianmommyblogger #momlife #mommyblogger #ilovethismomlife #mommyfluencer #torontoblogger #momswhoblog #torontoblogger #durhamregionmom #aboyandhismom #gtablogger (at Museum of Illusions, Toronto Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvjr94zA6sd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h0pqoavl8gku
