    Hoover Air Steerable Pet Keeps the Hair at Bay

    August 15, 2018 - By 

    I am a Hoover ambassador and as such I have been compensated. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful.  Hoover Air Steerable Pet Upright Vacuum is an excellent option if you have a pet or if you just have a lot of hair in your home in general. Dirt, dust and hair are no match for this new Hoover vacuum. The Hoover air steerable upright is your answer to whole-home cleaning. Your pets are members of the family and you couldn’t imagine life without them. But you definitely could do without the tumbleweeds of pet hair blowing down…

    Learning About Dinosaurs with DK Canada

    July 30, 2018 - By 

    I received product for consideration here. This post may also contain affiliate links. Learning about dinosaurs has become my daughter’s newest passion. Of course, Marvel and sharks are still high on her list, but ever since we saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, my daughter has fallen head first into the deep end of the dinosaur pool. She can’t get enough of them. She reaches for every source she can find for learning about dinosaurs like she’s writing a grad thesis on the subject. In fact, she’s incredibly excited about the fact that some researchers are actually discussing bringing dinosaurs back…

    The Proof is in the Laundry – Birthday Cake Fail

    July 25, 2018 - By 

    This post has been sponsored by OxiClean and I received compensation.  The proof is in the pudding. Or in this case the birthday cake plus laundry stain remover. Let me back it up a second. This story starts with a birthday party and ends with laundry. Doesn’t every real-life story eventually end with laundry and stains? Travel ends in memories and laundry. School ends in smarter children and laundry. Play equals laundry. Work also equals laundry. See what I mean? Everything ends in laundry. But I digress. June and July here are party months. Birthday party months that is. From…

    World Cup Fun with HEXBUG Robotic Soccer

    July 4, 2018 - By 

    When the World Cup rolls around, I think everyone becomes a soccer fanatic. Honestly, I don’t understand always what’s happening, and I’ve never really been a big fan of any single sport, but the frenetic energy of the games and the fans are just infectious to me. My husband and daughter, on the other hand, enjoy watching sports together often. Although we’re not on the same page with sports, we are on the same page with HEXBUG. You’ve seen posts from me in the past on this brand because I love it, and now I’m bringing you another one about HEXBUG…

    Making STEM Fun This Summer

    June 20, 2018 - By 

    Making STEM fun for kids pays off in the longterm. With our ever-changing world focusing heavily on technology, it’s important for children to learn to love Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). It’s the future for them, and they need to be on the forefront. That’s why I’m always trying to find new ways to keep my kids excited about STEM. I found three cool books from DK Canada that are making STEM fun for kids, and I think your kids will love them, too. A couple of these are going straight to my second youngest nephew for his birthday.…

But a lot of people have a terrible time trying to figure out what to gift their mom.

    April 16, 2018 - By 

    Waking up to perfect coffee that’s ready to drink is pretty much the best way to start any day. Now you need not be a barista to be able to make the perfect pot of coffee. Great coffee at home on demand is the name of the game with the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal. There are a few things I am constantly striving to perfect here in my home. One is meatloaf. My family likes meatloaf and it’s simple so I enjoy making it, but am always striving to get the perfect balance of flavours and spices. The other is…
