  • Have you ever hired a house cleaner? For me, it’s honestly made a world of difference, not just for having a cleaner house but it’s actually made my life easier and happier!
Recently, @aspenclean came to do a weekly cleaning for me and they did such a great job, they even cleaned inside the fridge! 
Along with wearing little booties, I love that they used green and natural cleaning products. I think that’s so important. I got a sample of their products and I feel safe letting the kids use them too!
Have you ever hired a cleaner?

  • Last year at this time, @pinkchai and I were on a girl’s trip to Cowichan, BC! Despite a surprise snow storm, we made it and had a wonderful time.
And it still counts as a girl’s trip if there are only two of us right?
If you could getaway with a girlfriend right now, where would you want to go and what would you want to do?

  • Do you have a favorite exercise? 
One that makes you feel strong or that really gets your endorphins going? 
For me, I love to deadlift. I always include it in my weekly workouts @stevenashfitnessclubs because I want to be able to lift heavier. Deadlifts are a great compound exercise because they work your hamstrings, glutes, back and traps in one exercise. You can even do deadlifts with a kettlebell, medicine ball or dumbbell.
Do you deadlift as part of your exercise routine? If not, then what’s your favorite exercise?

  • Since it #tbt, I thought I’d post this photo of when the kids and I did the @coquitlamcrunch last summer.
I’m sharing it because I think it’s so important not only to be a good example for our kids when it comes to healthy living, but to also include them in healthy activities. 
Some of our favorite ways to be active and exercise as a family is to take nature walks, ride our bikes and play active video games.
For a full list of our fav ways to exercise as a family, click on the link in my bio. 
What is your favorite way to be active as a family?

  • I did a poll a while back on my instastories asking about who stretched after each workout. So many people didn’t, for various reasons.
I totally get it, but I also know it’s important to stretch after your workout for lots of reasons including recovery, flexibility and balance, to name a few.
I’ve teamed up with my friend @reglokv (swipe right to see her photo) to bring you two great stretching routines to try! (Click on the link in my bio for the post.)
And now I will ask, how often do you stretch after you workout? Every time, sometimes or all the time? No judgment, just curious.

  • It’s a little chilly here in Vancouver today. So I decided to share a photo from our last sunny vacation, when we went on a cruise in December!
What’s your favorite hotspot and where would you rather be today if you could?

  • Sometimes you just have to share the outtakes, am I right?
@reglokv and I were shooting some photos for each other for an upcoming blog collab about stretching, and this pic is me just laughing at something we were talking about. And Reg kept on snapping away, (those are her feet by the way.)
It’s not a “perfect” IG photo, but it’s real! Do you ever share the imperfect moments?

  • I’m a latecomer to podcasts but I really love them. I try to listen to a couple every week, either when I have a longish drive or when I’m cleaning the kitchen.
Here are some of my faves:
1. @goaldiggerpodcast: great for small businesses, Instagram growth and other positive interviews.
2. @supersoul conversations with Oprah. There’s always something inspiring & right now I’m absolutely loving her 10 part series with Ekhart Tolle
3. @ownitbabe for body positivity and loving yourself 
4. @marieforleo: a life coach with a interesting topics including personal growth
@em_dunc- a wide range of fitness and health related topics 
5. @wowintheworld: this is a podcast that the kids love!
What’s a podcast you like? I’d love more suggestions to listen too. .
