The Royal College of Midwives will launch an initiative in 2020 to explore the impact of language on women. The Re-Birth Project aimed to develop…

Forget apples – maybe “an exercise a day” is what really keeps the doctor away.

In July, the Canadian government announced a once-off grocery rebate for low-income Canadians. The refund was a welcome relief for those who were struggling to cope with the inflationary pressures. Still, the amount of money provided is not enough to combat the poverty and food insecurity that the poorest Canadians face. Insecurity in food can affect mothers…

This is the third (and final, I promise) post of photos of Noah through the years. He’s been doing really well at his apartment; I wish he’d contact me more often, but definitely didn’t expect him to 😉  He really likes being on his own. It hit me hard a few days ago when I…

The movie “Barbie” has been praised for celebrating and criticizing femininity. As a mother and as a media savant, I could not help but view “Barbie” with a more narrow lens: a movie that is, at its heart, about mothers and daughters. The plot of the film revolves around a life-size Barbie doll (Margot…

It’s been a very emotional few days. I am trying to just let go of the incident with Eli’s surgery, and I’m making sure not to harp on it out loud at home, but I’m just so angry at the dentist (and staff) for treating us so poorly. And now I am super worried about…

Last weekend was one of the few weekends I had off, kind of. I still taught class on Sunday but had Friday and Saturday off so it’s all good. Today, Monday, Swedes have off as well but we continued on with Mysore class today. I’ve been traveling a lot over the weekends but since it…

We explored the shared learning opportunities that exist between two areas in the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education and Citizenship and Civics Education. Sport and civic…

The search for the ultimate muscle-building workout feels endless. We get caught up tracking training volume and frequency, but there’s a secret weapon that often gets overlooked: the intensity of each rep. Let me introduce you to the power of “effective reps” – where the real muscle-growth magic happens. It’s time to move beyond mindlessly…

Implied here, of course, is that this creator…
