Hi Emilie, I don’t know if you remember our coaching call last year? Well, I’ve finally given myself permission to give the business a proper go. Until now, it has just been a hobby. I’m terrified, but I’m going to go for it. I think I’ve read most of your blog posts but let me […]

“Most of the ‘mommy blogs’ out there are so hokey…” was the gist of her argument (I’m paraphrasing), “and the food and recipe blogs tend to be restrictive– a “one size fits all” approach where you impose a healthy lifestyle on yourself and your family.

Whenever I’m in New York, I like strolling through my old neighbourhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn. I spent the summer of 2007 living there and it really does feel like a second (or third, now) home. I had a 24 hour layover in the city a few weeks ago, and stopped by Gorilla Coffee on […]
