Cooking With Kids – St Patrick’s Day edition plus linky
Happy St. Patrick’s Day edition of Cooking With Kids. Today we are baking cupcakes, with a twist. We’ll call these Pot of Gold cupcakes. Oh and I have a giveaway open to Canadians today. So read to the end and let’s get cooking or baking. Yummy! Well, look at that. Oddly my cupcakes were so pretty the youngest didn’t want to eat them. This time all we did was make a batch of cupcakes from a Betty Crocker box. I let Ainsley be in charge on this one, so we tossed baking gumdrops into the batter and heart sprinkles and baked up 2 dozen cupcakes with hidden treasure inside. Then…

Join The #FinishRevolution and My Take on Dishwashing Products
If you have kids, you have dishes and messes. The three simply seem to go hand in hand. I am thrilled, as you can tell by the vlog, to be a part of this Canada-wide #FinishRevolution. Finish is a product I use and trust. There are few products that work harder in my house, and few appliances that work as much as my dishwasher. I hate doing dishes! So brand loyalty for Finish is huge in my house. Finish Canada and Mom Central Canada have chosen several bloggers to introduce this great Facebook campaign called the #FinishRevolution. Pop by right now and LIKE the fan page. By doing so you…

Winning $10,000 with White Bread – Fun Sushi Recipe -Giveaway
I saw this on Pinterest recently and knew it had to be Demspter’s White bread. Don’t get me wrong, we eat a lot of whole wheat and 16 grains and various heavy duty flax breads throughout the week, but there are times when only white bread will do. Like the day after Christmas when turkey is screaming for a bed of lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiched between the white bread. And this….how cute is this? Kid peanut butter and jelly sushi sandwiches. The key here is fresh white bread. Trim the crusts and spread a thin layer of each on top of one slice. Roll, use a sharp knife and make…

Teethease Necklaces and Teething Jewelry – Interview with the Inventor
My daughter Ainsley chewing on her newest tool for Sensory Processing Disorder, the Teethease Necklaces. Sensory Processing and Special Needs We are way too old for teethers in our house. Our youngest child is seven, but when the option to review this fabulous product line called Teethease Necklaces came to my attention, I was thrilled, because I like having options and I adore having BPA and lead-free items. For people who don’t understand, a lot of children with sensory processing disorder, or autism, need oral input. They chew a lot on sleeves, fingers, jewelry, even toys. It is an organizing activity according to the many books I have read on…

Cooking With Kids – Linky – Crockpot Love
Crockpot meet kids. Kids meet crockpot. Someone asked me this morning what one of my favourite things to cook with kids is – and honestly anything in my crockpot is a favourite. No fuss. No muss. Healthy dinners and so easy to do. I used to look after little people here. Lots of babies and tots and even school age children passed through our house before and after school. For a short time I had a home daycare. So because it was so busy my crockpot was my greatest tool. I could often get even some of the smallest people – as young as 18 months involved in this recipe.…

Jury Duty, the Tori Stafford murder and Trials
The last time I set foot in a courthouse it was for Happy Court. The term we use to describe the day when you finalize your child’s adoption. Yesterday, inside the same London courthouse the mood was as far removed as possible as the murder trial of Michael Rafferty began. Today I am just happy to be here, working at home. Yesterday my number was up. Well, almost. On the first day of the Rafferty murder trial in London, when our local courthouse turned into a very busy hub of activity and media from all over Ontario descended into the centre of town, I was also slated to go to court. Dreaded…
