We often get into the flow of our busy schedules and forget to nurture some of the most important relationships in our lives -- those with our families. Strengthen your family dynamic by engaging in meaningful conversations and encouraging your kids express their own thoughts, opinions, and experiences. Asking unique questions at family-time will bring your family closer together and empower your children to think more about themselves, their interests, and our world.

It's National Donut Day! Or is it d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t? Who knows.
Did you know that Doughnut Day was established by The Salvation Army in 1938 to honour The Salvation Army’s “Doughnut Lassies"? The "Donut Lassies" served the treats to soldiers during World War I, and are often credited with popularizing the doughnut in the United States when the troops returned home from war. The Salvation Army celebrated the first National Doughnut Day in Chicago in 1938 to help raise funds during the Great Depression and commemorate the work of these women.
The doughnut now serves as a symbol of all the social services The Salvation Army provides to those in need.

Most of us have made a home-made pizza at least once. Some of us in a regular oven, and some of us fancier pizza connoisseur's have even tried it in a wood-fired oven...but have you ever tried making pizza on the BARBECUE? Well, I tried it out, and it was *mind-blowing*. Think artisan pizza, x10 on the mouthwatering scale. It was a heap of cheesy, charry (in the best way possible), chewy deliciousness.

With our latest lockdown here in Ontario, many of us have struggled with motivation to workout. Gyms have been closed for what seems like ages, and - let's be honest - working out in the confines of our homes isn't always the most inspiring undertaking. But that doesn't mean working out has to be cancelled, and it doesn't mean we can't still have fun doing it!
