It’s National Coaches Week and @cheer_canada is celebrating all the amazing CHEER coaches across Canada! 🇨🇦 🎉

Cheerleading has been incredible for Avery and for our family. We have so much love and gratitude for our coaches who volunteer their time. They are equal parts enthusiasm, inclusion, passion and compassion—as Avery says, “You rock.”

Thank you PCT Eternity Coaches!!! 💛 🤸🏻‍♀️

This is what school looks like for us. Obviously learning from home isn’t an ideal situation. For anyone. Not for the kid who is desperate to start “real” high school and meet new friends. Not for the mom who works from home and has her hands full enough already. Not for the teachers who could do without frozen screens and managing the waning attention of little faces in digital squares.

This is hard. But we’re trying to remain positive and find the fun (and the short cuts and hacks!) wherever we can.

Avery and I are going to share a few ways we’re trying to be flexible and playful during this “unusual” (understatement) school year.

Tips coming soon from “Thornbury Academy” aka Virtual-homeschooling-unschooling-winging it-yes you can watch YouTube now-is it summer yet?-school. :)

I straight up lied to her yesterday after her virtual meet and greet with her new classmates. I felt so guilty, but pandemic parents gotta do what pandemic parents gotta do. 🤷‍♀️

This snappy number was taken at the beginning of Covid—you can tell by hubby’s neatly coiffed hair (swipe right to witness his mop 6 months later! Thanks Nice touch with the purple scrunchie Avery!)

These two have always been close, but after spending every minute together for half a year, they’re inseparable. Now that daddy’s gone back to work (he’s an amazing phys ed teacher) I have one sad little girl on my hands. On his first day back last week, she was inconsolable. I tried to distract her with a special lunch out, and thought it was working until she said, “This is fine but, it’s not fun without dad.” :(

The daddy daughter bond is strong. 💕

“Thornbury Academy” is in full swing. I call this activity, “Build sh*t while mum eats breakfast and scrolls Instagram.” 😆

This lesson will be followed by a field trip called, “Drive Granddad to an appointment and wait in the car and watch You Tube on the iPad.”

In case you’re wondering, this is not an accredited institution of learning, but the students and faculty seem to like it so far. ;)

She’s not going back to school in the traditional sense (we’ve chosen remote learning) but she still “needed” to do some BTS shopping. She bought a few things and paid for them herself with her birthday money.

Our school board pushed the school year start to next week, but we’re seeing and enjoying everyone’s first day of school photos! Wishing everyone a safe and happy return. Be kind to one another. And thank you teachers (my hubby is one) for your patience, passion, and dedication. We love you.

🌟Welo Giveaway is closed.💫The WINNER is @michellereidel 😀

This gal has had tummy troubles from the get go—reflux, constipation, bloating. A healthy diet tends to keep things in check, but sometimes we get busy or “somebody” gets picky and we find ourselves in a… situation.

@welokids caught my eye on Instagram. Their probiotic bars looked like an easy way to get in some gut healthy pre and probiotics. Regular granola bars are a great on-the-go snack, but THESE bars pack a probiotic gut punch—in a good way!

Welo uses clean ingredients (gluten free and low sugar). And, every probiotic packed product sold supports water, food or education projects in Kikima, Kenya. ❤️

We were sent some bars to try and enjoyed them so much we wanted to share.

Welo also wants to share! They’re giving away a month’s supply of kids bars (6 boxes) so you can try these for yourself.

Go ahead and enter—it’s easy. I know you’re going to love these as much as we do. I can feel it in my gut.

To Enter:⁠

1. Follow me @LisaThornbury
2. Follow @welokids
3. Comment below tagging a friend who you think would like to try Welo bars.
4. Additional entries: add a new comment tagging another friend. Each comment counts as an additional entry.
⁠
Open to Canadian addresses only. Giveaway ends midnight Thursday, September 10th. The winner will be contacted via DM.⁠

This contest is in no way sponsored by Instagram.
