Strolling through the city parks on this glorious day, listening to some upbeat tunes with my Sudio Nio earphones, makes my heart happy. Also, totally loving that these earphones are built with adaptive dual-microphone technology which filters out unwanted background noise while I’m on a call (perfect for virtual meetings). Plus, they come with 4 wing sizes for a comfy custom fit AND a free, specially designed #SudioNio Apple Leather Case, made of vegan leather and designed with sustainable, plant-based materials sourced from apple peels from an orchard in northern Italy. How cool is that? They currently retail for $119 CAD but you can save 15% using discount code “toronto”. #sudio #sudiomoments #shapingsound #sudiopartner #wirelessearphones #torontoblogger #giftedproduct 
Can’t believe this kid turned 13 years old today! Happy birthday to my little man! (Well, not so little anymore. He’s officially taller than me now. Where’s the rewind button…?) #maythe4thbewithyou #happy13thbirthday 
Sunshine /ˈsənˌSHīn/ noun ▪️ direct sunlight unbroken by cloud ▪️ cheerfulness; happiness Sunshine sure does wonders for body and mind. Am I right? ☀️ #sunshinetherapy #sunnydays☀️ #iphoneselfie #needmoresun #covidlife #twittergram 
Girlfriend, just strike a pose and smile for the camera! The sun won’t be gone for long, plus all this rain is good for the lawn. Speaking of which, anyone have any tips for repairing brown spots caused by... ahem... dog urine? #puppymom #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram #dakotathecollie #dogmomlife🐾 
Throwing it back three years ago to that one time I got to flow with my favourite yoga instructor @rodneyyeeyoga and his beautiful wife @colleensaidman. Gosh, it seems like a lifetime ago... #rodneyyee #yogaconference #namasté #2018memories #twittergram 
After a full day at @dogtopiadonvalley, @dakota.thecollie is officially down for the count! So grateful that doggy daycares are open! #puppymom #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #dogtopia #puppiesofdogtopia #puppiesoninstagram #dakotathecollie 
“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colours appear.” It’s the cloudy periods in between that are the most challenging. So today, on my 43rd birthday, my only wish is that we all try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. #birthdaywish #torontopfr #donvalleytrails #cityofTO #TOteachermom #torontobloggers #teachermomoftwo #canadianblogger #torontoigers #toronto_insta #photooftheday📷 #twittergram 
I seriously can’t... what a breathtaking afternoon we had today! In other news, I have a sudden urge to purchase cross country ski gear... #torontopfr #cityofTO #torontolife #donvalleytrails #donvalleyriver #TOblogger #TOteachermom #torontobloggers #teachermomoftwo #torontoinfluencers #torontoigers #toronto_insta #twittergram

The look on her face just says it all. Dakota loves being back at daycare! Fun beach day for her, less stress during day 1 of virtual teaching for me... it’s a win-win! 📷 @dogtopiadonvalley #puppymom #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #teacherlife🍎 #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram #dakotathecollie #twittergram

It’s been an interesting few months back at school and I’m not going to lie... I’m feeling worn out. I have never needed a pick-me-up quite like I have these past few weeks and chocolate just won’t cut it this time around. A brand new gadget? Now we’re talking! So three cheers for "Treat Yourself Week”, a brand new #Sudio holiday that is ALL about getting to treat yourself to something special before the holidays! To celebrate, Sudio is having it's largest sale ever, 25% off sitewide with an additional 10% off when you use my discount code TORONTOMOM. That means you could have a pair of TOLV wireless earbuds for as little as $88 (or $65 for my American friends!). Or if you’d prefer ones with active noise cancelling, check out ETT. The sound quality is fantastic! I love that it has USB-C charging but you could also splurge and purchase the wireless charger for induction charging. With up to 30h of playtime, I can safely say I’ve enjoyed plenty of “me time” catching up on my favourite tv shows. #sudiomoments #giftedproduct #shapingsound 
Couldn’t resist taking our pup for a walk in the woods on such a gorgeous day. Thank you, Mother Nature! #torontoparks #dakotathecollie #puppiesoftoronto #torontopfr #puppymoments #fall2020 #autumnvibes🍂 #twittergram 
Okay, people. It’s time for me to come clean: I’m 42 years old and I still suffer from acne! 🤦🏻♀️ A good skin care regimen seems to be crucial for me now more than ever, especially with all the recent stress coupled with wearing a medical mask all day long. This is why I’m so excited to try out this complimentary sample of #AlyaSkin Pink Clay Mask, which not only helps in the removal of acne and pimples, but also detoxifies and brightens the skin. AND it’s vegan and cruelty free! Can’t wait to share the results. Stay tuned! #giftedproduct #beautyproductreview #alyaskincare #alyaskinca #claymask 
Feeling grateful for the great outdoors. Being forced to get outside more to walk the dog sure makes up for her chewing up all our furniture... #torontoparks #fall2020 #dogmomlife #twittergram
