Two sisters, making new self-improvement pledges each month
Over the last 8 or 9 years, I seem to have developed seasonal allergies. It took me a while to figure it out, partly because I thought I just had colds from all the children at work and also because I frequently would get a monster headache (a migraine) rather than the typical sneezing and …
I figured I should share this quick little mid-month update for April, since it will be over before we know it! As of April 13th, my pledge is on track, however, that's not too difficult since there was nothing too pressing to accomplish for the first ten days of the month (other than the important task …

Background Information: Living in Calgary, we truly experience winter: cold, snowy, short days where we miss out on seeing the grass for several months of the year. After a long winter, I appreciate the arrival of spring, with the bright green new growth, singing birds and sunny skies, that much more. And there is something …

April 2018 Focus Area: Around the Home Background Information: When Jennifer suggested Home as our focus area for this month, I was all in. Fast forward to today (April 4th) and I'm completely overwhelmed as to where to begin. Last year I did accomplish a fair bit of decluttering-ish activities. I got rid of quite …
Alternate title: Downward Facing Dog Hair (because that's what I saw a lot of every time I was down on my mat 😂) This month has certainly not gone quite as expected. The routine I had established in January and February of starting each day with 5 minutes of yoga has been thrown off kilter by …
When I was first envisioning the actions I would take to reach this month's mini pledges, I thought that the spring weather would be luring me outside more. That has not been the case! Early spring in Calgary is full of surprises: sunshine and warm temperatures one day, blizzard conditions the next, and icy patches …
What Passed and What Did Not 😉 The somewhat nitty-gritty on how the February food reintroductions went If you're here, it means you're probably interested in more details on my experience reintroducing foods after a 2+ week elimination diet. One thing I tried to do throughout the month was to eat more mindfully and chew …
I can't believe we've had our blog going for over one month already. The last month went by really fast! Now it's time to share with you how my pledge for February went (if you haven't read it yet, you can find my original pledge here and my mid-month update here). The focus area for …
How is it that February is only 2 to 3 days shorter than the other months, and yet it feels like the month just flies by?? We had a few hiccups this month implementing our meal plan pledge, but overall we stuck to the plan. In my mid month update, I realized that my goal …
March 2018 Focus Area: Movement Background Information (i.e., the method to my March Pledge madness): In general, I would say I'm known for being pretty active, though, in all honesty, I must admit to having my sedentary days. Additionally, while I may be quite active in some areas (i.e., walking, hiking, cycling) I do not …
