NeoCell Cosmetics: Hydrating Skin Care for Women
I have dry skin. It takes a beating throughout the winter months and, in the summer too. So when I get a product here that works to hydrate I get a wee bit giddy.

Building Stronger Bodies With Adult Essentials Gummies and Shes Connected
Last weekend I was invited to attend a camp on Lake Rosseau, called Muskoka Woods. It was a jam-packed, active, fun-filled event with bloggers, traditional media, moms and their school aged children.

So, this is me skateboarding. Because I knew if I was going to have my anxious older girl who broke her…

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Pizza: Cooking with Kids

How to make chocolate caramel pizza was one of the recipes near the very end of a cookbook I was sent for review. The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook, by Lindsay Landis, is a real treasure. When I first got it, published by Random House Canada, I thought what can possibly be made with raw cookie dough? Well, there are about 155 pages full of outrageously creative cookie dough treats, from raw cookie dough…

Linked Moms Chat: Tonight – Inside Track on Dads
Chris Read and his son, or is that Mario?Thanks to Chris for use of this photo and for guesting tonight on Linked Moms chat Ever wonder what Dads really want for Father’s Day? Ever wonder what they are really thinking? Do they like those handmade kid’s version of Hallmark cards, sweets, chocolates, picnics? Would they rather have a Big screen TV for their Father’s Day present? Some days, even after almost two decades of marriage I still feel like my husband and I are talking two different languages, so luckily tonight we have Canadian Dad blogger, and a really great guy Chris Read joining us for our on line chat.
