When I first decided to stop working, people would ask me, “what are you going to do now”?  I would jokingly tell them I was going to start writing a blog about my life as a mom with older children and I was going to call this blog, Older Mommy Still Yummy.  Well, my joke became reality and Older Mommy Still Yummy was born!

I live in Atlantic Canada, have been married for many years to the most amazing man in the world and together we have two grown children. In my “other life” I was an Operating Room Nurse in a fast-paced regional hospital. My life is now less structured and since deciding to stay at home, I am very quickly becoming addicted to blogging and social media!

I first had the idea to start a blog for “older moms” when I started noticing a lot of blogs were aimed toward moms with young children. I applaud these and the help, companionship, information and support they provide and I still remember those days well…well, most days I remember them well!  However, my kids are now older and some of the information I was getting “out there” was no longer relevant and some of the information I was seeking was not available. I thought there must be others out there who felt the same… so, here I am and I hope I’m not alone!

I love to write about my adventures with food, recipes, healthy living, reviews, books, living green, travel and life in general.

About my kids: 
I have two children, a son and a daughter.
Parenting is...: 
The most rewarding and complicated "job" in the world.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 
I belong to a book club and enjoy reading. I also love to bake, cook, garden and travel.
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?: 
I would "hide the elephant" in plain sight in our familyroom. We wouldn't want him to be lonely!
