    How Did Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor Help Me Tackle High Blood Pressure

    March 28, 2016 /

    In September of 2014 I had my first high blood pressure reading ever. It was frightening and frustrating too. So I set about fixing it. I worked out more, I went gluten free. I added more exercise. I banished salt, ate differently, walked more..and I did all that consistently for two years and still nothing much changed. My blood pressure went up and down. But sometimes it was as high as 150 over 92. About two months ago a Withings wireless blood pressure monitor arrived. And that’s when things finally turned around for the better. Before Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor: Month after month I used to check my blood…

    What is a Bear Market? Mind Your Money Series – Part 1

    February 17, 2016 /

    If you’ve done any type of investing or watched any sort of financial news, you’ve probably heard the term, bear market. Depending on your investment or financial knowledge you may or may not know what a bear market is. In my 40s I have made it my mission to be smart and savvy about investing, spending and donating money. I am a cautious investor and honestly quite new to the stock market so when I read stock market news I take it to heart and all of the talk recently about bull and bear markets got me wondering what does that mean to the average person? Today, I want to cut…

    Adult Coloring Books for Gifting #ValentinesDay

    January 29, 2016 /

    Adult coloring books are suddenly incredibly hot. I get it. I had a Hallmark one here recently and I had some fun chilling out and simply coloring for a bit. Coloring is a super relaxing activity. My one daughter has had coloring books with mandalas in them for several years. Those are not necessarily exclusively adult coloring books. Have you ever picked up an adult coloring book and wondered if you should get one? Do you have anxiety or trouble relaxing at all? They can be excellent tools for both children and adults to help calm down. When my kids were younger I had a home day care and I…

    Haunting Halloween RIP Brownies Recipe

    October 15, 2015 /

    Do your kids have a Halloween party to attend this year at all? Do you have a Halloween event? Then this recipe is perfect for you. Halloween RIP Brownies are pretty easy to make, festive and fun. Give them a try. It’s the icing that takes the longest on these. But the icing is also typically the best part too so it’s worth it in my opinion. Happy Haunting!! The last brownies we had were gluten free at a small bakery near the beach this August and they were delicious. They gave new meaning to awesome gluten free treats. These are not gluten free but you can easily modify with a…

    Happy Halloween!! Pumpkins, and candy and skeletons!! Oh my. There’s nothing quite like Halloween to bring out the kid in all of us. I started decorating the moment the cool new toys from Hallmark arrived here. Do you have some special decorations up yet? Do you go all out? Do you simply feature a few small decorations? Some people in our new neighbourhood go all out with haunted houses and front foyers spilling out smoke onto the street for full effect! I love that. So do the kids. You know what else I love? A Free Halloween printables package –  like this one! This year I wanted to share this…

    Free Thanksgiving Printable – Fill Ins Vocabulary Sheet for Children

    October 4, 2015 /

    Once back to school is a routine again and the temperatures begin to level out just a bit, then it’s time to get planning Thanksgiving here in Canada. Our Thanksgiving, as some of you know, is much earlier than it is in the United States. So, we have a longer shopping season. We also get a lovely little long weekend break right in October. That’s kind of a lovely time of year for it. The kids can often still play outside and the adults can cook in peace – mostly.

    Window Shopping and Making Progress on My Interac 21 Day Credit-Free Challenge #21DaysCreditFree #ad

      My week was a bit about the window-shopping. And let’s face it nobody likes window-shopping. But, more about that in a minute.. Last week I invited you to follow along with me on the Interac 21 Day Credit-Free Challenge journey to see what I have learned, and I figured it might help you save a few dollars too. This week I tried to pay close attention to my spending, so that I could accurately help some of you to succeed at saving money this month too. Itís hard to save money when you are also shopping for some really big-ticket items, like I am. My family is currently in the…
