It has always been a challenge to find time for working out for me, given my full time job, a toddler, and so forth. I went from an exercise junkie -spending 1-3 hours daily at the gym to getting no exercise other than walking the dogs or playing with my kid. Before I knew it, I was aching all over and having troubles carrying my ever growing child. So, it was finally time to change and to go back at it. There are so many systems out there; how does one ever decide? The gym I previously went to had spin bikes. I rarely did those classes...in fact, I sucked terribly at them and was never a fan. Yep, if you had to say my husband was going to convince me a Peloton bike was the way to go just over a year ago, I'd tell you you're crazy. Well, a year down the road, I'm thinking it was a pretty good decision. Read on to determine if it's worth it and our coupon code for $100 off your purchase.

Geography, not my best subject... Inherently from the north with a kid raised in the south, my Canadian geography is definitely better. However, I'd still like to be knowledgeable and be able to help with my child's education as he gets older. The newest combination of books from our friends at National Geographic Kids makes learning at home fun.

We've all heard of it, it covers the news outlets and medias day in and out. The pandemic has been hard on everyone. From lost jobs and income to loss of health and lives, our lives have completely changed. Not everyone understands the gravity of the situation; truth be told, there are many adults that have a hard time grasping the concepts, much less the children in our lives. A toddler doesn't understand why we're asking them not to play in a playground or hang out with their friends. However, a cooped up toddler who's lost their routine can spell trouble, more tantrums, and headaches for parents who are doing their best to provide for their families in these dark times. So, here are some great activities and tips that will help keep toddlers active and happy!
