Every class is different and there are modifications for every exercise, making the classes suitable for all fitness levels! The classes are created specifically for moms who recently gave birth. Locations for the classes are Kanata, Kemptville and Barrhaven!</div>

Babies and toddlers of all ages are welcome to attend the classes! The babies need to be able to hold their head up on their own in order to participate in the exercises.<span class="m_-2814969716328196998gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>Lots of moms bring younger babies and they nap or have some hangout time while mom does a bodyweight workout!

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Lots of guys love to take on challenges.
Still, the hurdles you'll face as a single father can make even the most
determined man think twice. That's why we've written this post. In these words,
you'll find ways to master what comes your way while keeping your sanity
intact. So, without further ado, let us begin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Know What You're Dealing With<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Taking on any task starts with sizing it up.
So let's look at some <a href="https://goodmenproject.com/families/challenges-single-dad-hesaid/"><span style="color: #1155cc;">typical issues</span></a> confronting single dads,
according to <i>Good Men Project:<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN">Facing
society's stigma. This problem can come at you from two directions: one,
the stereotype of parenting as a "woman thing" that no
self-respecting man would devote the bulk of his time to. The other
misperception, which is<a href="http://naturallysavvy.com/care/misconceptions-the-single-dad-view"><span style="color: #1155cc;"> just as wrong-headed,</span></a> is that a single
dad must have done something horrible to drive the mother away, making him
unfit to be around kids.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN">Staying
on good terms with your ex. This can pose dilemmas whether or not the mom
is active in your kid's life. If she is, then you'll need to stay on good
terms with her as much as possible, both for your child's sake as well as
your own. If she's not, then you will have to explain her absence to your
kid. Neither task is easy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN">Balancing
life and work. Good parents provide for their family. But good parents
also take time for their kids. Walking the fine line between those two
often conflicting priorities can make even the most serene guy a bit
stressed.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN">Living
life. How to you manage to do the above four while watching out for your
own needs? Is it even possible?<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Now let's look at ways to deal with these
issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Refusing to Let Others Define You<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Both male and female single parents face <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-no-one-ever-tells-you-about-being-a-single-dad_us_575b5039e4b0e39a28adb8d7"><span style="color: #1155cc;">their share of prejudice,</span></a> as pointed out by <i>HuffPost.</i> We've already discussed two of
the stigmas you'll face, but the list could go on forever. The question for you
is not whether you'll face criticism but how you will deal with it. It all
comes down to asking <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/test-case/201107/the-danger-letting-others-define-you"><span style="color: #1155cc;">who defines you:</span></a> others or yourself? It should
always be the latter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Practicing Diplomacy<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Hopefully, you and your kid's mom are on good
terms; this is often the case. If not, then you may need to learn a few <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/emotional-fitness/201109/10-tips-help-you-deal-your-ex"><span style="color: #1155cc;">diplomacy skills</span></a>. Your child will form many of
her perceptions of women based on how you act towards the mother. Remember this
fact as you work with her to bring up your child.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Finding What Balance You Can<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Any working parent, single or not, must
balance economic reality with child rearing duties. You may be able to work out
a flex-time arrangement with your boss, transition to a home-based position, or
ask trusted friends and family member for help shouldering the load. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Staying Sane<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="background: #FAFAFA;">According to </span><span lang="EN"><a href="http://www.drugrehab.org/making-good-choices-mental-health/"><span style="background: #fafafa; color: #1155cc;">Drugrehab.org</span></a><span style="background: #FAFAFA;">, “The way we eat, drink, love, and cope with
stress, depression, anxiety, and sadness all play a big role in the state our
mental health is in. Sometimes, it’s necessary to take a step back and ask
yourself if you’re doing the right thing for you, and not the easiest thing.”
This applies to single parenting as well as other aspects of your life. You
must care for yourself in order to care for your child. If this becomes
difficult, then you may need to reach out to supportive friends or even a
qualified professional. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="background: #FAFAFA;">Being a single dad
is all about doing the best you can. You will make mistakes; everyone does.
But, by admitting your errors and learning from them, you pave the way to a
brighter future for everyone in your family, including yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">It is important to consider baby signing as
the use of gestures rather than ‘a language’. A language would have a host of grammatical
rules and expressions attached to it. Even
if parents don't train their baby too use symbolic gestures, it is likely
babies will naturally use them anyway.
For example, pointing at something they are asking about, tugging at
their sweater if they wish to take it off, etc. Understanding baby gestures can
improve communication and make parents more sensitive to what their babies are
thinking about. This can have profound
benefits. When parents are more tuned
into their baby’s thoughts and feelings, babies are more likely to develop
secure attachment relationships. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-GB">With baby signing, parents say the keyword
associated with the sign to their baby in the context of the situation, so it
is possible that baby signing motivates parents to speak more empathetically
with greater variations in pitch, and with greater emotion. Research suggests that this sing-song style
of speaking, called infant-directed speech has a greater effect on the part
of the baby’s brain processing auditory sounds than normal adult speech
(Lloyd-Fox et al. 2015). People using
infant-directed speech also tend to repeat their words giving babies extra
opportunities to listen and learn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Aside from the research, anecdotal feedback
from families lends great strength to the reasons for pursuing
baby-signing. Parents frequently
reported that they find communication with their little one less frustrating
and more rewarding -- for both parent and baby.
They also say that they had no idea the child had so much to say or understand
so much before they could talk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">We teach the parents the signs through music and
song. This has its own added benefits,
as the babies enjoy observing and participating in a series of action-singing
music sessions. According to Sally
Goddard Blythe, Director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology,
singing lullabies and nursery rhymes to babies and infants before they learn
to speak, is an essential precursor to later educational success and
emotional well-being. Research has
also shown that the better children are at detecting rhymes the quicker and
more successful they will be at learning to read (Bryant et al. 1990).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Happy Reading!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">"While all car seats are designed to be safe, some are definitely easier and more convenient to use than others. We worked with over 100 parents to identify the most sought after features while also consulting with child passenger safety technicians and pediatricians. We then compared the functionality and features of an infant car seat vs. a convertible car seat. Both serve unique purposes, and ultimately, we created a guide for each to provide parents with all the info they need to make a choice right for their family." </span><br />

A little miracle of now 30 weeks today.<br />
<br />
My chances of having a life growing inside me was slim to none. I was diagnosed with PCOS at a young age and was told that with the state of my condition, my chances were very slim of having child one day. It sent me into a depression. At that time, kids were my whole life! I worked with kids since I was 12. I wanted to be a teacher and I wanted 3 kids before the age of 25. Don’t we all wish life would go according to our plans?<br />
<br />
Fast forward to now… At the age of 37, life has blessed me with a lifetime chance to carry a child… our child. I can’t express the joy this little miracle has brought to our lives! What a blessing. One that I will never take for granted.<br />
<br />
The moment I saw her during our ultrasound, I felt so much relief to see her kicking and moving around! It was happening for real. I cried, I laughed… I felt so blessed to live that moment. It meant the world to me. I desperately wanted to find a way to cherish this memory forever. I wanted to freeze that little piece of time forever.<br />
<br />
I went through different processes, different ideas… nothing would really catch my eye. I wanted something that could bring a smile to our face on a daily basis. Something to fill our hearts with gratitude & love, and to always remember that special moment when life gets tough.<br />
One day, my fingers magically created this print. We fell in love. And so did many others.<br />
<br />
ForeverBaby.ca was born.<br />
<br />
At ForeverBaby, we create premium custom made canvases from your ultrasound pictures. We pride ourselves in being a Canadian company with a Canadian-made product.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H52EesMZkms/WgEKF85sr2I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/OPbXQq_wxkIymkGI65t_UXJ9TCflb_jHACLcBGAs/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H52EesMZkms/WgEKF85sr2I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/OPbXQq_wxkIymkGI65t_UXJ9TCflb_jHACLcBGAs/s320/unnamed.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I feel blessed to create memories for all families. All canvases have a story and this is what I love most. The reaction from the public has been overwhelming! Everyone wants one, or wants to gift it to someone they love.<br />
<br />
The process on our customer’s end is pretty easy. First, they scan or take a picture of the ultrasound. They go on our website www.foreverbaby.ca, select the size of canvas, the colour, the custom text and upload their picture. We do the rest. <br />
<br />
No two canvases are alike - that’s the magic. The ultrasound pictures leave their own fingerprint, one that we do not alter in any way! Our customers can expect to receive their canvas within 7-10 working days, depending on their location. Shipping is always free.<br />

Advance tickets are $40/couple and $10/each additional princess. Tickets at the door (unless sold-out) are $50/couple and $10/each additional princess. Advance tickets are available at the Maple Ridge Centre or <a href="https://mapleridgecentre.com/product/princes-ball-ticket-couple/">online</a>. We do anticipate this will be a sold-out event so purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment! As a thank you to our service members, we are once again providing a limited number of complimentary tickets to our military members. We do request the escorts to attend the ball in their full-dress uniforms and must provide a valid military ID to book their tickets.</div>

This feature is not included in the admission price and tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets cost $10/person and the ride will consist of a trip around the Maple Ridge Field in a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage. There is a limited number of tickets available and it is highly unlikely that tickets will be available at the door so be sure to purchase yours in advance.</div>

Order your tickets online below. Please be sure to include the names of the Princess(es) and Escort at checkout in the additional comments field. Tickets will be mailed by Canada Post and should be received within 2 weeks of purchase. Tickets ordered after October 25th will not be mailed and can either be picked up in person or at the door - be sure to bring your purchase receipt in case you do not receive your tickets. Ticket are not confirmed until payment has been received in full.</div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know how it goes: You put your baby down,
she cries. Pick her up and, presto -- she's serene and smiley again. If just holding your baby can be so soothing,
imagine how she'll benefit from a full-body massage? In fact, studies have shown that massaging
your wee one can reduce crying and fussiness, help her sleep more peacefully,
and alleviate common wail-inducers like constipation and colic. Some say that it even boosts a baby's ability
to fight off germs.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"When you give your baby a massage,
you're stimulating his central nervous system," says Tiffany Field, PhD,
director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of
Medicine. "That sets off a chain reaction: It makes his brain produce more
serotonin, a feel-good chemical, and less cortisol, a hormone that's secreted
in response to stress. As a result, your
baby's heart rate and breathing slow down, and he becomes more relaxed.” <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only does it have physical benefits, but giving
your infant regular massages is good for his emotional well-being too. Affectionate touch and rhythmic movement are
among the most powerful forms of communication between babies and their
parents. It will help you learn how to read your baby's signals and respond
better to his unique needs, which can give you so much confidence as a new
parent.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To me, the main benefit of massage is about
connecting, I know that sounds a bit hokey, but it starts when they are small
and it goes well beyond the new-born stage.
My 4 ½ year old loves having a massage, as does my 2-year-old. The massage has changed over the years but it
is rooted in all the basics I learned when I first took them to a massage class
many moons ago. Massage time still
provides all the benefits it always has. Time to connect and be with each other. Time to shut out the rest of the world, put
down the cell phone and be in the moment - just you and your baby. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Back to school and fall is one of my favourite times to take some photos, it starts a new phase of the year and new milestones. Magenta Photos can make that easy for you. Whether you come into the studio (St Laurent) or you choose on location, they can help capture your moments for you. I am always thinking about great photos for Christmas Cards too ;)</div>

<a href="http://www.magentaphoto.com/en/studio/studio-overview/">Magenta</a> focuses on making this easy for families, walk in or book your appointment and photos are ready to choose from and select a package. They have packages for everyone. </div>

Our session was so lovely, the kids were excited to enter the Hollywood room, with mirrors and lights and then enter the studio with 2 wonderful photographers who made it easy and fun!! As you know a 1 and 3 year old don't sit still for long, I was hoping to get one great picture, and they had tons! Check them out below. </div>

She decide find them a new home as 10 sheep were enough for her. </span></span><br />

Mom counts hand bags, dad counts cars and brother counts super heroes!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Sammy Jo has to find a place for the sheep soon because they are destroying her room, trying on her clothes and creating a ruckus. So she decides to have the sheep pair up and she will start counting sheep in pairs. Two-Fours-Six... she counts all the sheep all the way to 20.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This book is super charming, Sammy Jo demonstrates some great problem solving skills, empathy for the new sheep who do not have a home and learns some new math skills too!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The illustrations are a fun blend of vibrant colour and their comical expressions on the sheep are priceless.

<div>
<br /></div>
This year is very emotional and exciting for me. My first daughter starts Kindergarten in a few weeks!! Of course, I am super excited for her (it helps that she can't wait) but I'm also nervous for her and for me, will she make a friend right away, will she love her teachers, will I be able to go on her field trips, will she eat what I pack her for lunch? These are just a few of the things that keep me up at night LOL. My mom always said don't stress over the things you can't control, but control the things you can. Sooo, I have spent my summer organizing, researching and planning so that September can go as smoothly as possible. <div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Lunches</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
30 websites later, I finally chose the "perfect" lunch bag, containers and water bottles. But what to put in them? Thankfully, there are tons of people who are Pinteresting their child's lunch each day (this isn't sarcasm either, I truly love Pinterst ) I'm sharing one of my favourites <a href="http://www.tamingtwins.com/lunchbox-ideas-for-preschool/">HERE</a>, mostly because it was mix and match and it was realistic. I seriously doubt my parents worried about this!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Clothes</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My daughter had a huge growth spurt this summer, so naturally I assume I am going to have to buy her a new wardrobe, well thankfully after 2 hours of trying on all her clothes, ( this included walking in funny runway walks towards the mirror, she's not vain at all!) we only needed a few outfits. I try my best to support local,<a href="http://littlesummerbee.com/"> Little SummerBee</a> is super cute, I also got a few brand new outfits from FB sell groups. Crisis averted!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Schedule/routine</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always been a paper and pen kinda girl, yes I have a Google Calendar, but I have to write things down too, therefore I have a new organization station in the kitchen with my meal plan schedule, Family Calendar with colour coding, cork board for important notes, and a to do bin for bills, forms etc. I know this will likely fade out, but for now, it makes me feel organized :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Daycare</div>

Unlikely that you can take all the time off. There are lots of great options, but one I came across was the City of Ottawa, they have great options for before and after school care, as well as March Break, PD Days etc. Check it out <a href="http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/recreation-and-parks/camps#and-after-school-activity-clubs">here</a></div>

We had a great summer and I have to admit, I am finding it a bit hard to get motivated to go back to work and be away from the kids. I think one of our favourite things this summer was, creating our bucket list and completing it. So, we are starting a Fall Bucket list, this way, we will be sure to make time in our hectic schedules to have fun! </div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #4b4f56; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />In recognition of Canada’s 150th birthday, CP invites communities to come together and celebrate. Just as the railway connected Canada, the CP Canada 150 Train events will reconnect all generations of Canadians through shared stories of the country’s past; acknowledging heroes and leaders of today; and building optimism for the future.<br /><br />Celebrate with us at our three-hour event featuring:<br /><br />**** HERITAGE TRAIN ****<br /><br />Iconic diesel locomotive CP 1401 (1958) will lead the train, powering more than 10 beautifully restored Royal Canadian Pacific heritage cars (1916-1931). As the train makes its way across the country, it will be the exclusive event backdrop for photographers and admirers alike. Also included in the train is CP’s exclusive retrofitted stage car from which event-goers will be treated to a truly Canadian performance. To preserve the vintage nature of the cars and carry out a safe event, tours will not be available.<br /><br />**** CONCERT ****<br /><br />DALLAS ARCAND<br />Aboriginal entertainer and world champion hoop dancer Dallas Arcand will open the stage show with his world-renowned athleticism and grace, sharing the symbolism of the hoop dance and its significance in aboriginal communities<br /><br />DEAN BRODY<br /><br />Country music superstar Dean Brody from Jaffray, B.C. is an arena touring act, with 13 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) and two Junos under his studded belt. In 2016, he closed out the CCMA’s with four awards for his platinum-selling single, “Bring Down the House” and the most recent Juno win for 2016 Country Album of the Year, Gypsy Road.<br /><br />**** FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES ****<br /><br />This family-friendly occasion has something for Canadians of all ages and there are a number of activities to explore during the three-hour event. History buffs will delight in seeing images and facts pulled from CP’s archives, and kids of all ages can design their very own conductor’s hat as a memento of the day. Complimentary treats will also be available while supplies last.<br /><br />**** SPIRIT OF TOMORROW CAR ****<br /><br />The future of Canada and the railroad industry will be shaped by today’s youth. At each stop, CP will give young Canadians a forum for their hopes and dreams for Canada’s future with the Spirit of Tomorrow, a rail car decorated with a growing mosaic of their words. Their messages will be affixed to the sides of this special railcar and as the CP Canada 150 Train makes its journey across the country, the Spirit of Tomorrow will come alive. The car will be included in CP’s Holiday Train program for 2017, giving all Canadians a chance to view the final creation.<br /><br />**** LITTLE GENERAL MINI-TRAIN **** {some locations only}<br /><br />Don’t miss your chance to check out CP’s miniature train – a 1⁄4 scale model of a General Electric AC4400 locomotive. The Little General might steal the show as it winds its way through the crowd, hosting passengers of all sizes. Riders must complete waivers before boarding and participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.<br /><br />**** CONTEST ****<br /><br />To further celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday and to recognize the people, families and communities that helped shape the nation, CP is running a contest to learn “What’s your railway legacy?” From stories of sacrifice, bravery, ingenuity, even romance, authors of the two most compelling true short stories will win the experience of a lifetime including a two day, two night, all-expense paid trip for two aboard the CP Canada 150 Train, with five-star hospitality from the Royal Canadian Pacific. Visit cpconnectingcanada.ca to enter. Contest closes July 31, 2017.<br /><br />**** TICKETS ****<br /><br />Free event. August 20th at 3pm.<br /><br />**** PARKING ****<br /><br />There is no parking on site. Attendees should plan on taking transit to access the event. Event is at 200 Tremblay.<br /><br />**** VENDORS ****</span><br />
