    Build Lasting Art – Gallery Box from Posterjack #giveaway Canada Only

    September 24, 2013 - By 

    Looking for that one of a kind unique gift to share with a special family member this time of year? Or perhaps your art is old and a wee bit tired, like mine. I am in the process of decluttering and cleaning this house up so we can prepare to put our home on the market. While doing that I am evaluating what we stays and what goes. I am also eagerly aniticipating fresh starts. A blank wall is a canvas of sorts, that can take on whatever colour, shape, personality, or style you want.  When we get to where…

    Kellogg’s New Products and a #Giveaway

    August 30, 2013 - By 

    Kellogg’s Vector chewy protein bars are the tastiest snack bars I’ve ever eaten. If you love peanuts and have no allergies these new bars from Kellogg’s are absolutely delicious. With 11 grams of protein in each bar and 5 grams of fibre I happily shared these with my kids. Now, obviously these cannot be taken to schools with children who have nut allergies. But at home here or on a family outing these are a great little snack option. I wouldn’t want the kids eating too many of them because they have 170 calories per bar. But to me this…

    Bella and Harry: Book Series #Giveaway (US only)

    August 27, 2013 - By 

    We get a lot of adorable books here and several are reviewed over on thriftymommasbrainfood, my books blog, but this is one that’s distinctive. Picture a children’s picture books series narrated by a cute pair of dogs who travel the world. Bella and Harry are adorable chihuahuas who travel and share their adventures in each new destination. The detail in each travel destination feature book is educational and interesting. My youngest enjoyed hearing about clan flags, kilts and coats of armour in the Bella and Harry go to Edinburgh book. I enjoyed Bella and Harry in Rome, tripping through the…

    My Cue Streamer #Giveaway – Open to Canada and US.

    August 22, 2013 - By 

    If you are a new parent, there is nothing more important than your precious little one. You would do pretty much anything to protect your child and make sure they grow strong and healthy. Parenting and caregiving is also exhausting work. There is little more tiring than the first year adjusting to a new baby,  infant, toddler. You wake bone weary, but excited to see your little one. Life is also busy. There’s work and groceries and life in general. Sometimes you entrust your child to a loved one, a grandparent, a substitute caregiver. You trust them with your heart.…

    Flatten Me Personalized Products #BTS #Giveaway

    August 11, 2013 - By 

    I wish you could have seen the smile this Flatten.me water bottle put on my daughter’s face this week. Oh, I know, I know, everyone on the planet has ten water bottles already, right? Maybe so, but do you have one with your face on a superhero body? Or do you have one where your child is posed as a princess? I didn’t think so. Who doesn’t like personalized items? Most of the kids I know adore finding things with their name on them, or seeing it on a T-shirt. Well, Flatten.me has a host of items from books, to…

    Printcopia Gorgeous Personalized Art #giveaway

    July 11, 2013 - By 

    I have so many digital photos and lasting memories of all the trips my family has taken together. But, as is often the case, with Moms, I am rarely in any of those shots. I am all too often behind the lens. Luckily, on our last trip to the Dominican, I was able to ask another tourist on our last day to capture a shot of my whole family. I was toying with the idea of putting this on our Christmas card when Printcopia asked if I wanted to do a review and offer my readers a giveaway. If you…

    June 6, 2013 - By 

    How do you make something familiar and well loved into something brand new entirely? Well, you can up cycle, if you are a DIYer. Or you can recreate a classic cereal, that is one of our family favourites, and add oats and nut clusters to give it crunch. That’s just what the people at General Mills have done with new Honey Nut Cheerios Hearty Oat Crunch and they want to give a few boxes away. So stay tuned for details. My kiddo is the queen of up cycling. Truth. She has been taking old stand by materials and objects and…

    Win $25 K for Your Park – Kraft Celebration Tour #KCT

    June 1, 2013 - By 

      It might not have made front page news, but the day they unveiled Mayor Norm Jary Park in Guelph, the world shifted just a little bit for my brother and I. First of all, we had our pictures in the local daily, The Guelph Mercury (local section). That in itself was an event – and pretty cool for a grade schooler. I recall the photo opp with the mayor. I think I might have been nine or so standing in the background and my little brother was cute as a button perched atop a slide. Aside from the school playground…
