When I was little I was walking down my street and a man drove by with his car and yelled something really mean to me about my appearance and then cackled and drove off. My mother heard it and asked me if I heard what he said. She was really upset and I didn’t want confrontation so I said “no” and I don’t think she heard right. She said she heard him loud and clear. She grabbed my arm and we marched over to his house. I said “it’s okay Mom, don’t worry, it’s embarrassing” but she continued on. She told him what an awful human being he was for taking a shot at a young child and then denying the whole thing when he was confronted.
That moment has never left my memory. If my mother had ignored him I would have grown up thinking that someone doing something like that was mean but it was okay to ignore it. I’m so thankful she did this even though I was embarrassed at the time. I would have never learned this lesson and lived it and now passed it to my kids. Little actions make all the difference.
I told my kids this story. I tell them stories of injustices that happen everyday to our friends of colour. They don’t understand it. It makes them sad. I also told them that whenever they witness someone being treated unfairly it is their responsibility that they either tell someone about it or address it safely if they’re able. I told them they have to USE THEIR VOICE.

We have to do better.

**CLOSED Gourmet Food Delivery Giveaway***
Congrats to the winner!!!
I’m sure you’re all just about done with cooking 3 meals a day (plus snacks) just like I am so I’ve decided to share a little hack of mine. This hack eliminates grocery shopping and the meal planning and the meal prep process entirely. It’s the @presgourmet gourmet-to-your-door Contactless Home Delivery Program. I ordered a bunch of entrees from the website and they deliver on Tuesdays or Fridays and voila! I don’t hear the ticking time bomb that is meal time at all because I have options that are easy to whip up quickly and most importantly they are DELICIOUS. Browse the website and drool over all the incredible options 🤤. I have teamed up with @presgourmet to give one (1) lucky follower $150 credit towards their very own gourmet-to-your-door meal order. *They deliver to Toronto and the GTA only so this contest is only open to people living in those areas. All you have to do is:
(1) follow @julesaujus and @presgourmet.
(2) comment below with one item you would LOVE to try from my photos ▶️ or the website and tag a few friends who could use this service.

I will choose one (1) winner by random selection on Saturday, May 23, 2020. *This giveaway is in no way affiliated with Instagram.
Good luck, Friends!

Some recent changes I made to reduce my environmental footprint: 🌎 I switched from a pod espresso maker to an amazing manual espresso maker (the @brevillecanada Barista Pro); 🌎 I switched to @hellofreshca for dinner 3 times per week. (Since I’m cooking for 1 adult and 2 small kids, a LOT less goes to waste); and 🌎 I switched to the @thedivacup (which is awesome by the way and I wish I had done it a million years sooner). I would love some more ideas for reducing our environmental footprint - drop some below! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #earthday2020
