    Tweet Up a Storm With Little Live Pets #Giveaways

    September 2, 2015 - By 

    I’ve had my eye on these Little Live Pets for quite a long time now. When I heard they had owls available I was hoping to get one for the girls. Their old school mascot was an owl. And really who doesn’t love owls? They are quirky and fun. These talking pets are hours of awesome. Just place them in your palm and listen to the adorable songs. We received Nightstar Owl mother and Baby and Little Live Pets Tweet Talking Birds. I also have one Tweet Talking Cockatoo Bird to gift to one lucky reader too, so pay attention…

    5 Easy Packing Tips for Summer Road Trips and Business Trips #travel #giveaways

    August 23, 2015 - By 

    Summer road trips and business trips go hand in hand here. My summer has been filled with business trips. But the positive side of that is that my business is doing well. So I can’t complain about that. And I am able to combine my business trips with pleasure. So just last week I was able to do a quick business trip while also visiting my sweet niece and nephews in Toronto. That’s pretty fantastic, the best of both worlds, really. And there was New York City this summer, also always a treat! This coming week I am finally able…

    Gluten Free Tarragon Turkey Casserole and a Fiesta #Giveaway ARV $110

    August 19, 2015 - By 

    This is the story of my love affair with Fiesta Dinnerware. Well, perhaps I exaggerate a little bit. But Fiesta has changed my life. Listen here’s the thing, my friends and family who know me well, know I do not embrace colour very often. I am happy with black and white and tan, mostly with some red thrown in. But Fiesta dinnerware rocked my world earlier this year and now I am changed. I am embracing gorgeous colours now, and cooking with the prettiest lemongrass casserole dishes and I am (gasp) even painting in our house and colouring the walls brightly,…

    Back to School with Mabel’s Labels Stylish Scholar’s Combo #BTS #Giveaway

    August 16, 2015 - By 

    This is a back to school pun. What gets misplaced, but never lost? Easy peasy. Anything boasting a smart Mabel’s Labels Stylish Scholars Combo. My kids misplace stuff all year long. But they rarely lose it. Why is that? We slap Mabel’s Labels on pretty much everything important. They worked beautifully for camp when we had the camp combo and they work every bit as well for the remainder of the year. We use ours for all the sports equipment and extracurriculars. The other day we started back to school shopping which means it was also time to pull out the…

    Arm & Hammer™ Laundry Hacks #Giveaways #PassItOn

    July 30, 2015 - By 

    Is there anything more thankless than laundry? Really? It never ends. Laundry inbox zero doesn’t exist. (Actually I think we have seen it once since becoming parents. That’s 14 years.) I Luckily my husband does much of our laundry. He’s super particular about it and he’s very clean. He’s my laundry secret weapon. Occasionally laundry is a family affair and everyone does the folding and the sorting and the putting away of the clothing and towels. Many hands make light work sometimes, but even so it can be thankless. I dread laundry. But what I don’t dread is saving money…

    Muse Headband – Gamifying Meditation and Relaxation #Giveaways ARV $299

    July 25, 2015 - By 

    The Muse headband makes relaxation more fun, especially for gadget girls like me. Let me clarify. When I try to relax, it’s interrupted by all kinds of outside stimuli – the kids, noises, neighbourhood creatures and then there’s the constant internal monologue too. The Muse headband helps me to conquer all of those things. The Muse Headband Helps Make Serenity a Reality Well it makes serenity reality at least while you’re meditating. With the Muse headband, you have an ally in leaving behind the stress and worry of the world – at least for a while. The Muse headband uses EEG (electroencephalogram)…

    Posterjack Acrylic Blocks Personalized Desk Art For Dad #Giveaway

    June 18, 2015 - By 

    Full disclosure. This is a case where I want you to do as I say, not as I do. Posterjack’s new acrylic blocks would make the loveliest desk art ever for your Dad. They really would. If you can give them away. Wait, what? See, I am not using mine as Dad’s desk art. Bad Paula. I know. I intended to make this and have it given to my husband as a gift, but we have several things bought and wrapped already for Father’s Day. I had this piece made by Posterjack, and as soon as I placed it on…
