    My 411 Mabel’s Labels Review and Giveaway Open to Canada and US.

    November 8, 2010 - By 

    My 411 wristbands from Mabel’s Labels: Good for All, Excellent for Kids With Special Needs It is a moment, hardly longer than the blink of an eye, and your child disappears from your line of sight. Your stomach sinks, breath catches in your throat, heart freezes and your mind races. Where is she? Did someone take her? Is she hiding? You tell yourself it will be okay, but newspaper headlines are all you can see or think and you fly into panic mode, or maybe survival mode. Every parent on the planet, if they have a child who is old enough…

    Maple Leaf: Natural Selections: Giveaway

    October 31, 2010 - By 

    Once in awhile there comes a product I just have to share with my readers, friends and family and I discovered this one a couple of weeks ago at Shes Connected. Maple Leaf Natural Selections are natural slections deli meats from the makers of Maple Leaf products. The first and only deli product approved to make a natural claim in Canada. We sampled some of these yummy all natural cold cuts at the conference in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and last week I purchased some for my family to try. Dianne of @those2girls says they are the only…

    Cheerios Mini-Milestones Contest and Giveaway

    October 19, 2010 - By 

     Image courtesy of Wiki free images  We are a big Cheerios family. (No, I’m not talking about the Glee Cheerleaders) Love them for all ages and sizes of people. We like original Cheerios and Apple Cinnamon and Multi-Grain, and of course Honey Nut. We have not been without a box of Cheerios ever since darling youngest daughter was about eight months old. Which brings me to my milestone moment. I still remember giving my oldest daughter her first solid food. The first real solid thing I ever gave her was a Cheerio. No, seriously! Another Mommy friend Lisa…

    It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

    November 17, 2009 - By 

    While there may not yet be snow, there’s an awful lot of Christmas-y stuff going on lately to herald the season. London’s night time Christmas parade was last weekend and, as you can see here, we attended the annual kickoff to shopping season. Despite a few glitches, gaps in between floats, and cars somehow not following the traffic barricades and dangerously driving down Dundas Street prior to start of parade, it was a hit. The temperatures, which hovered around 10 to 15 degrees Celsius all day beat last year’s hideous snowstorm that we foolishly braved. My daughter this year purchased…
