There are dozens of beautiful Jord Wood Watches for women and men. Jord is incredibly unique and high quality. There’s a Jord Watch for pretty much everyone.

    Summer Flash Giveaway

    June 5, 2015 - By 

    It’s June. Hard to believe but true. That means summer is on the way fast. But summer can be super expensive with the kid’s summer camps and the road trips and all the extras like the field trips before school ends and then graduation, if you have a child finishing a certain grade at school. I’m not complaining but I understand this time of year can be costly. So with that in mind I am trying to deliver a few more flash giveaways. This is just one flash giveaway. Good luck and have a great weekend! For THREE Days ONLY…

    A Winning Weekend $50 Flash #Giveaway

    May 29, 2015 - By 

    Hello and Happy Friday!! The weekend is here at long last and I am ecstatic even though I am working most of the time. It’s still nice to have options. Maybe I will sleep in instead of waking up to an alarm to race the kids to the bust stop and take my morning walk. I don’t mind the walk part because it’s great exercise. But I would appreciate from time to time having the option to sleep just an hour longer. How about you? This weekend I am giving you the chance to win $50. For THREE Days ONLY…

    My New Fiesta Dinnerware in Slate and a #Giveaway ARV $150

    May 26, 2015 - By 

    Fiesta Dishes are the sexiest dishes I have ever owned. Not exaggerating. Not one little bit. Take a look at that rich colour! Slate is one of the newest shades in the Fiesta Dinnerware lineup this year and I love it. It’s sophisticated and attractive and these dishes are hard working too. Remember when I moved into my new house and I grumbled last year many times over that I couldn’t find the right dinnerware? I shared my frustrating search on Instagram. We hunted high and low. I frequented all kinds of stores looking for something that was safe for…

    A Special Flash Spring Giveaway – Embroidered Love Sentiment #Giveaways

    May 15, 2015 - By 

    This is a spontaneous Spring giveaway. I recently attended a conference and came back overflowing with knowledge, connections and also gifts from brand sponsors. I have numerous new shipments of items to feature here on the blog. My office is once again overflowing and I need to generate a bit more space in my cabinets and cupboards and on my bench too. This lovely embroidered sentiment from Hallmark Canada makes me happy. Isn’t it sweet? It’s just a lovely, light, little decorative thing that would be brilliant for a Mom, or a Grandma.

    May 5, 2015 - By 

    This month dozens of the blog-o-sphere’s best travel bloggers are sharing what travel is to them. I have had some amazing travel opportunities, both for business and pleasure this year. Colombia was an epic adventure and a great learning experience with World Vision Canada. The cruise we took together as a family was amazing and such a great chance to restore. The trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico was a wonderful active mother daughter trip that we loved. And the Tremblant Quebec trip where we all learned to ski was epic and busy and challenging, and a trip were hope to…
