North South Blonde

A food and lifestyle blog

About

 

 

Welcome! I’m Michelle, mother to two beautiful girls, wife to an incredible hardworking man, writer, photographer, and recipe developer. I have an extraordinary passion for motherhood, fixing up and decorating our home, health, wellness, practicality, and homemade cooking. I’m all about living a healthy lifestyle — for my family and I — and sharing what I know with all of you, other women, and other moms.

I was brought up in the Greater Toronto Area and now reside in beautiful Northern Ontario Canada, hence the name North South Blonde. Most of what I have learned along the way is implemented in my parenting style.

Here, you’ll find inspiring parenting tips and advice, easy recipes for staying on track, wellness tips, and home decor inspiration. I also love to talk about family travel and activities, as well as outdoor adventures.

One thing is for sure about me — I love a good laugh, good music, lots of coffee, and online shopping. I’m definitely a firm believer in silliness, positivity, loving where you live, gentle parenting, and appreciating the simple things in life. Life is beautiful.

Shop some of my favourite style and decor pieces, women’s fashion, kids must-haves, and home and kitchen staples.

Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Follow Along!

        I came to Ottawa for school and never left. We live in Cumberland, which is a pretty rural area in the East End 🙂

        Is your hubby from KL?

    I was born and raised in Earlton which your husband will know where it is…have you ever tried the cheese from Thornloe Cheese Factory. Great cheese and they also have grass fed cheese and grass fed butter. Good site b.t.w.

Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister Feels like summer! We went to cheer on big sister at track meet and G is officially out of her infant car seat and in her big girl @clekinc like the little boss baby that she is 😂 Tell me, how long do you keep your LO’s in rear facing position? Do you wait as long as possible or switch to forward facing around the 12 month mark?

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the beautiful mamas Happy Mother’s Day to all of the beautiful mamas out there, mamas to be, those who’ve lost, and those who yearn to be 🤍 My three are literally my heart outside of my body. The loves of my life, I hoped, dreamed and prayed for. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my girls! There’s nothing I love more in this world than being their mommy 🤍🌸

Peloton Dupe! They apparently don’t service nor Peloton Dupe!

They apparently don’t service northern Ontario… so I went with an @Echelon.Fit instead 😏and I’m so happy with it, it’s pretty much the same thing with different branding. And the best part is that you can use the Peloton App on your phone/tablet since their app’s subscription is a reasonable price!

I used to do the whole elliptical thing but an exercise bike has always been my favourite for cardio with less stress/impact on joints! Is cycling your fave too?
