Bona’s Hawaii Sweepstakes and The Best Hardwood Floor Products #Giveaway: Several Ways to Win
One of my favourite features in our home is the hardwood flooring. I love hardwood. Let me rephrase that. I love hardwood flooring that is kept clean and shiny and is not completely scratched up by kids, or pets or wear and tear. So that’s the rub so to speak. Hardwood is only as good as the products you use to care for it, and the care you take with it. I confess that I see every little scratch in my hardwood and I obsess over that. Hardwood just looks better when it is well maintained. I am always on the lookout for the next best thing in my search…

Marshmallow Brownie Bites With White Chocolate Drizzle
What’s Easter without a few treats? I strive to eat healthy and feed my family healthy foods, but when there is a holiday we enjoy sharing some baked goods with friends and family. Easter is a great occasion to experiment or try something new in the kitchen. That’s exactly what we have been doing this week. Sometimes you end up with a bit of magic. I think these Marshmallow brownie bites are magic. I hope you do too. Everyone loves Brownies, right? And I truly don’t know many people who don’t adore marshmallows too so it stands to reason combining these two is a recipe for awesome. These are scrumptious.…

For those of you who travel, for business or pleasure, like I do, and for those of you who actually need a bit of a boost for your wifi range at home, also like I do, the Netgear Trek is a great idea. I was sent a Netgear Trek to test out here for a few weeks and I have been working hard on getting used to the gadget. I had high hopes for this, maybe too high. The Netgear Trek is a travel router and range extender. It doesn’t come with cables or any extra parts. The Netgear Trek has a built in antenna you can easily flip up to…

Hugs from Dad #WordlessWednesday #Travel #Tremblant
I rarely share shots of my spouse here. Why? Because he hates having his picture taken. Sad but true. Husband of blogger hates having picture taken. Honestly. So capturing a nice shot of him on film is a big deal for me. I often point my iPhone at him when we travel and he turns or moves ruining the shot. Early in March we were all invited to Mont Tremblant to visit as a family unit. While we were there, the entire family learned how to ski in two days!! I am super proud of that, in case you couldn’t tell. We went dog sledding and we hiked and walked…

I made these Kid’s Happy Easter Bookmarks for you to share. If you are at all like we are, then you are always hunting for a bookmark. Why is it always impossible to find one? Actually true story here. My older daughter was gifted a phone plan (she already had the phone but it wasn’t connected) last summer for her birthday.

Snorkelling with Stingrays and Nurse Sharks in Belize on the Last Day of the Year
It’s the last day of the year, a year that sped by lightning fast, but then again don’t they all? This is how we spent December 31 snorkelling with stingrays and nurse sharks in Belize. It still is etched on our collective hearts as the best way to spend the last day of the year. If You Go, Consider This: In hindsight I wished that I had bought a GoPro HERO4 SILVER before we took our first ever cruise. I had no idea we’d need one out in the ocean, flying along in a jam-packed speedboat on our way to swim with nurse sharks and stingrays and sea urchins galore.…

Ten Fun and Creative Easter Crafts
Spring weather inspires creativity. I have noticed just this week, in the first days of spring, that I am inspired to start new projects. I have also pitched old contacts new ideas and so on. That makes me feel positive and happy about the change of seasons. Are you noticing the same? Maybe it’s the thinner coats and clothes, but I feel somehow lighter and able to see all the possible wonderful opportunities to create. I am sure my kids are feeling the same in some ways. Lately when I knock on my older daughter’s door I see the sewing kit and craft materials scattered across her floor. I will…
