This avocado and chickpea salad has enough protein to power your day, and enough fibre to clean you out and make you feel great. It’s packed full of plant-based nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis.

An Easy, Light, and Healthy Salad

The best part about this salad is that it doesn’t mush all together when you mix it. It remains creamy and crunchy all at the same time.

It’s made with fresh, wholesome ingredients that make you feel like you’re not actually eating a salad because of how filling it is. Talk about satisfying!

This past Canada Day long weekend I served this salad on the patio for our family and it was a complete success. Everyone was excited about how nutritious it looked and raved about how good it tasted.

You’d be surprised how a few simple ingredients goes such a long way.

Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have Life lately 🤍 It seems as though the years have gone by and the girls have changed so much, so very different in their own unique way, growing and blossoming faster than ever. All I had to do was blink and all of a sudden I have a 9 year old wiser than her years, an 8 year old who says it like it is, and an almost 2 year old who doesn’t miss a beat. 

“Let me love you a little more before you’re not little anymore.” This couldn’t be a more truer feeling for us moms raising older children.

I will never stop loving you. A mother gives and gives, loves and loves with no cap, no end, no limit. When life gets tough, always know that I will forever be here for you, loving you and supporting you every step of the way.

Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Wh Cold and flu season is here! Here are 5 Reasons Why You Need a Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier in Your Home 💨

1. Indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air with allergens trapped inside. Using an air purifier can help ensure the air inside our homes is fresher and cleaner!

2. It helps reduce airborne allergens like dust mite debris in the bedroom and pet dander. This can help reduce a variety of symptoms you may be having.

3. Helps reduce odours (mom win for any lingering dirty diapers sitting in the trash) keeping air smelling fresher.

4. Set the timer and forget it! This is my favourite feature because I’m just so busy and would forget to shut it off when not needed.

5. Cleaner air, feel better, live better, sleep better. Need I say more?!
