    Getting a Car is Easy with Canada Drives

    January 3, 2018 - By 

    Getting a car can be challenging for anyone, but if you have less than perfect credit, it can be almost impossible. Until now. Sometimes things happen that negatively impact our credit. Whether it’s foolish decisions when we’re young, or circumstances beyond our control, we live and learn, but our credit sometimes suffers. Sometimes finance companies don’t understand or care about that. Canada Drives does. They make getting a car so much easier for everyone. Getting a Car with a Company That Understands Life Happens Canada Drives is a unique financing company. Founded in 2010, they’ve been helping consumers get access…

    What’s Your Word of the Year for 2018?

    January 2, 2018 - By 

    What’s your word of the year? Every year for the last 6 years in a row I have chosen a word or phrase to guide my personal and professional attitude for the year. This has often been a really positive proactive experience for me. The year I chose Grow, I grew. The year I chose productivity I was productive. And so on. My word of the year is my philosophy or vision. I was astonished actually when I went back through my files this week and discovered I have been doing this for longer than I thought. In fact, I…

    Happy New Year! I sincerely hope that this year is kind to you and that there are many positive things that happen for you and your family. This year has been a tough one for some I know.

    How to Make Captain America Oreos

    December 28, 2017 - By 

    These Captain America Oreos will charm any Marvel fan. My younger daughter is the world’s biggest Captain America fan. She adores Chris Evans, and Captain America is her favourite of all the Avengers. Lately she’s been tracking all of the information about the next movie, Avengers: Infinity War. The release date, the timing of the premiere April 25, 2018 and where it could be. In our house, it’s all about Cap. All the time. And Black Widow too of course. Scar Joe is admittedly kickbutt in all the movies. Fan fiction, news, twitter and Instagram. If they write about either…

    My Seven Favourite Dublin Experiences

    December 26, 2017 - By 

    I had so many amazing Dublin experiences recently when visiting the city in the Fall. Dublin is a creative, amazing city that recently earned National Geographic’s Best of the World distinction and it’s easy to see why. If you have not been yet I strongly suggest finding a way to visit. It’s more than worth the time and energy to get there. Stop and savour the Dublin food scene. So many Irish Showstoppers that are memorable and truly well done. Stroll the city by foot, and take a tour while you are there too. Consider this Game of Thrones and…

    Colour by Numbers Christmas Wreath Printable

    December 20, 2017 - By 

    OMG the countdown is on. This month flies by way too fast. Soon the kids are done school and we have no grand plans yet. Feeling kind of disorganized this year actually. I can’t decide how we are spending the week or two after Christmas and New Year’s. Regardless of what we do after the big event I know we will take some time together as a family to relax. It is so needed this year. What are your big plans this season? I know the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve can be crazy with kids all hyped…

    Clearwater Marine Aquarium – The Little Aquarium and Animal Rescue Centre With Heart

    December 19, 2017 - By 

    Clearwater Marine Aquarium has been on my bucket list forever. When my kids were small we read a series of true stories about animals overcoming adversity. Knut was one we fell hard for and so was Winter’s Tale – How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again. Our kids are both adopted and they’ve had some unique challenges in life. Knut is a polar bear raised by a foster human. My kids get that. As a baby dolphin, Winter lost her tail after getting caught in a crab trap. Rescued by Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Winter had to learn to swim again.…

    Merry Christmas! With the snow on the ground, its beginning to feel a lot like Christmas finally. There are several pretty gift tag printables here on the site, and on Pinterest too, should you need any to decorate your gifts this season. These silver and gold Christmas gift tags are bound to look gorgeous on any of the presents you have to give this season.   Are you a theme decorator at Christmas? Blue and white? Red and Green? Monochromatic perhaps? That’s my default. Off white and gold monochromatic shades are where I typically go with Christmas. I just prefer…
