Marija & I had a great time chatting about our love of supporting local. Shopping in small hometown stores, eating in local restaurants, and everything we can do to make sure that our communities are taken care of.

From following local businesses on social media and sharing their posts to attending markets and events, every little bit helps. We love the Windsor, Essex County, Ontario area and everything it has to offer.

And while we are at it, try to keep the local love mentality when you travel. Check out small local businesses instead of chain stores & restaurants. It really does make your trips more special when you discover those hidden gems.

Poop - check

Tantrums - check

Being a parent we deal with this and more. But Windsor, Ontario's Jill Moysiuk from Mom Said Duck has put a good spin on it. She creates wonderful poems that sums up everything we all feel when it comes to not only parenting but adulting as well. It's also nice to know that we are not alone on this journey and can laugh about it instead of crying.

Make sure to follow Mom Said Duck on Instagram and sign up for Fresh Poem Friday. Each Friday you receive an email with a new poem. So worth it!

Adriana is not only a mom of 3, high school teacher, podcaster, Macro Mentor, nutrition & fitness coach but she also practices what she teachers her clients. She works out, whether it be just getting steps or going to the gym for strength training. She also has worked eating well into the mix. Adriana looks at food differently than most Nutrition Coaches. Yes check your protein, carbs & calories, but if you have a hankering for something “not nutritious” then go for it. Adriana shows us how to make fitness & nutrition a lifestyle that is attainable and doesn’t feel like a job.

Sam is a super busy person. I know Sam from working at Wolf & Rebel.

I had no idea there was a whole other creative, side.

Writing music, performing, singing, playing guitar & the voice of Jazz Hooves on the new My Little Pony on Netflix and YouTube.

Sam is inspiring to me about getting out there and just living your best life. I really hope to have Sam on when we can chat a little longer.

If you want to find the band Pony and their music, you can catch them on Spotify. If you like old school vinyl then Dr. Disc is the place to go.

Mason’s Explorations is a fun YouTube Channel created by Mason Iera and his family from the Windsor, Essex County area.

We talk to Mason, his little brother Drew and his dad Joe and learn all about their fun competitions, jokes, pranks and how they come up with some of the really gross contests (no one wants to eat an oreo dunked in pickle juice!)

The Iera family really is a close knit fun family and you all have to go over to their channel, follow them and see all the fun shenanigans they get into.

And they also do toy & game reviews as well as take the camera on vacations and continue their fun.
