Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother’s day all you amazing mothers! I love that we set aside a day to honour the women who raised us.
Today I wanted to show my gratitude and appreciation towards the mothers in my life, starting with my mom, Marlene (pictured with me above), who you may have read about in a Transformation Tuesday blog post a few months ago.
My mom is an amazing woman. As I reflect on my gratitude for her, I appreciate her selfless love and dedication to our family. Family is everything to my mom. Mom has 6 children, 26 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Even though her own children have grown up and have families of their own, Mom is constantly on the go attending sports events, graduations, weddings, birthdays and all the special occasions that come up in our family. Mom also gives generously of her time in her community and church - she is a truly inspiring role model for me.
Mother’s Day is also a day when I reflect on the gift of my mother-in-law, Gina (her and I are pictured below). Gina has been a part of my life for over 30 years and since the very first day I met her she made me feel like I was her own flesh and blood. Gina is a selfless giver! Her greatest gift that she loves to shower us with is her amazing Italian cooking. Her fantastic attitude and sense of humour brings the entire family so much joy!
This is the day that I reflect on the gift of my own motherhood. My greatest desire in this world was to be a mother. I am so blessed to have 6 amazing children. Our tradition for Mother’s Day is for my husband Nick and the kids to have a big barbecue with my extended family as well as Nick’s family. It is a day for the mothers to sit back and be pampered while enjoying a fun visit with everyone and marvelling at the gift of our children!

Healthy Mom & Healthy Life!
Every year I reflect on what a blessing it is for both my mom and mother-in-law being in good health. We get to all meet up over the weekend and have a fantastic time with each other and all our children and grandchildren.
On weekends like Mother's Day, I'm especially awed by their vivacity and that they are living their lives to the fullest with great energy!
Mom is approaching 80 and you sure would not know it to look at her. She looks amazing and has so much energy - she even runs circles around me!
I am so proud of my mom for the good care she is taking of her body and I know that all of the good food and physical activity she does will keep her young and active for years to come!
My mom is a Simple Swaps Superstar. I have the honour of journeying with mom through my Simple Swaps to Slim Down Program. In the first month of the program she lost 10 pounds and multiple inches! You can read all about her journey here.
I am so blessed to be able to help coach and support her, even as she's getting older, to be living her life in the healthiest, most energetic way possible.
