Author Archive for Survival Mom
I call myself Survival Mom because like most of us moms, I take one day at a time and hope to survive to the next. Well, it’s not that bad….but, wow, what a fun roller coaster ride life is as a mom! I'm lovin' every minute of this crazy adventure so much I co-wrote the upcoming book "The Survival Guide For Rookie Moms" due out in Spring 2010. I'm also a wife and full time entrepreneur who tries to squeeze fitness into my insane schedule. Sound familiar? I'm just like every other mom I know...

Driving Olympic Fever in our Kids
Being a Vancouver native, of course I have the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympic Games on my mind at all times….gosh, who doesn’t…..it’s so exciting. But, what I found most intriguing was how my 5 year old daughter was reacting to all of the Olympic hype.
