Shane is baaaack as we unpack (literally and figuratively) from the first half of summer. A Disney Cruise, a trip to Nova Scotia to see the McCarvells, and so much more. We dive into travelling with toddlers and teens, the surprises and delights and moments to remember and Shane’s fav part of Nova Scotia (hint: it wasn’t the lobster). Catch up with us!
You can follow me at @TheBirdsPapaya and apparently maybe Shane sometime soon…

Whenever conversations start about dieting and why someone may have started dieting, so many begin the answer with “well my mother…”. For Betty, this is a lot more complex, because based on her own mother’s feelings along with doctors advice of doing what was “best” for her daughter, it landed her and Betty in a feature article in VOGUE about how she successfully dieted her young 7 year old daughter. But, is mom really the problem? Today we unpack diet culture & dieting, mothers and the nuances and HONESTY of all the inbetweens.
