Great Gifts for Tweens: Planet Sock Monkey #giveaway
There are only so many remarkable and unique gift ideas out there and tweens can be hard to buy for. But happily I have the perfect idea for all the tweens in your life this Christmas. Planet Sock Monkey takes an old concept and makes it new again with this quirky line of punked out weirdo Sock Monkeys. We picked up Magenta Beetsch at Blogher13 in the summer and over the last few months I have been wishing I picked up more at the time. I can think of every single one of my nieces and nephews (well, the tween set) and a corresponding Sock Monkey doll that fits their…

Build Lasting Art – Gallery Box from Posterjack #giveaway Canada Only
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 we are going _ some place a tiny bit bigger,…

End Canadian Postal Pain – My US.com
Got a Canadian address? Like to shop? Then you know all too well this shopping drama. It goes a little something like this. While perusing Amazon or Coolestnewshoppingsite.com I found the best deal on the sweetest little motorcycle jacket in leather.

Now every Canadian on line shopper knows this one. Sometimes you might have spent hours finding that amazing deal and the perfect item and yet by virtue of your Canadian address you are Out of Luck.…

I Am An IVF Soldier: An Infertility Success Story – Interview #abhc4vf #abpoli #ohip4ivf #onpoli
This is an American infertility story. The couple featured are from the US. I interviewed Kathy this summer and wanted to share her story, because it is an infertility success story. Sometimes the themes of struggle and health care battles and difficult journeys to create family transcend borders of province and country. Infertility impacts 1 in 6 people. Infertility patients struggle with this complex health issue regardless of where they live. But some patients, in some areas of the world like Ontario, have an added financial burden of paying for in vitro fertilization which can cost easily $10,000 a cycle. In Ontario, a patient group has been advocating for funding…

Kitchen Transformation #LinkedMoms chat
Our kitchen has been the least appealing feature of our cozy home for years now. When we moved in we knew the kitchen needed upgrading, or a renovation. The kitchen was small, but so were we. We bought an apartment sized dishwasher and we used it a lot. Then our family grew. And life got busy. And our 40 year old kitchen started to fall apart. See the picture above – a couple of times my cupboard faces fell off and once the front of the cupboard near the sink fell and broke my toe. I have hated my tiny kitchen for a very long time. Lately, this past year…

Genius Bar #WordlessWednesday
You know when you show up at the Genius Bar with your less than one year old baby (yes, my Macbook is my baby) and they run a check and it says this, that the day is not going well. Bless their talented genius hearts. They got my baby (fried hard drive) all fixed up. And thank you Apple Care and Apple warranty. You are my favourite fruit.

Murad Women’s Skin Care Products Review
I received Murad Women’s Skin Care product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Post may also contain affiliate links as a service to readers. Forty is a fantastic decade and yet slightly ironic at the same time. Just as you hit your groove with kids, career and finances, well there goes your metabolism and by the way your skin starts to be let’s just say, less resilient. Luckily, there are products that help. And these days as the middle aged blip begins to grow ever so steadily, piggy backing right behind the Baby Boomers, well brands simply have to establish products that make sense for your 30s…
