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 the first #selfie of the year. Happy 2021, mes amis! #TOblogger #TOteachermom #torontobloggers #teachermomoftwo #canadianblogger #torontoinfluencers #torontoigers #toronto_insta #photooftheday📷 #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

We could all use a little extra happy in our lives and this Happy Box filled with goodies from #localshops sure does the trick!

Guess who finally slept through the night! I’m still figuring out what to do about the barking and growling. Oh, and the obsession to dig holes all over the lawn! But aside from that, I think I’m starting to get the hang of being a #puppymom... #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram #dakotathecollie 
Up and at ‘em at 2 in the morning with our little #DakotatheCollie means I get to take in views like this one. Coo, wha’ a sight! Random fact: Did you know that Diana is the name given to the Roman goddess of the moon? 😄 #fullmoonvibes #puppymom #themoon #torontonightsky #twittergram #iphonecapture 
Introducing #DakotatheCollie, the newest member of our family! This sweet little #bordercollie pup is 8 weeks old and came to live with us just yesterday but she has already brought such great joy to our lives. I’ve never housetrained a dog or even had a pet before so wish me luck... #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram
