    October Colouring Page

    October 3, 2018 - By 

    Well hello there October 1st! Not even sure how that happened. The thing about October is that once October arrives you certainly can’t argue that it’s Fall. Signs of Fall are everywhere. Leaves are changing and my neighbourhood is ablaze with gorgeous maple trees in burnt oranges and reds. I have a couple of trees holding out still. If you or your kids are like me at all then perhaps welcoming October with this October Colouring Page printable will help to remember and transition to a new month. It’s fourth quarter here and the end of year and holiday season…

    What You Need to Know About Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response Now

    October 3, 2018 - By 

    Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is the latest relaxation tool and Youtube craze. By now you might have heard about it. If not, then consider this your ASMR guide. Basically, ASMR is a tool often used to relax after stressful days or to help people fall asleep. I discovered this tool on Youtube about six months ago and it has become extremely valuable in our home. Both of my daughters actually use ASMR for that purpose. It’s an excellent way to unwind after a particularly stressful day or to prepare the body for sleep, especially if you’re a person with…

    Your New Favourite Outdoor Adventures Destination

    October 2, 2018 - By 

    What’s one of your favourite outdoor adventures? Recently we discovered a spot that wowed us with lush Carolinian forests, nearby beaches, darkest of skies, and thrilling outdoor activities all day long. You might be surprised to discover it’s closer than you realized. Right before school returned I decided to take the girls somewhere fun. Little did I know when I started browsing Glamping Hub that I would find my new favourite outdoor adventures destination this close to home at Long Point Eco Adventures near Turkey Point in nearby Norfolk County, Ontario. The possibility of zip lining and axe throwing, spotting…

    How to Find Makeup for Sensitive Skin

    October 1, 2018 - By 

    Do you have sensitive skin? Me too sometimes. My younger daughter is the same actually but she’s prone to itching and feeling the impact of harsh fragrance first. Recently I bought a night cream that seemed excellent and was super moisturizing. But it actually made my skin break out. So I stopped using it and gave my skin a break. Then I tried it again. Sure enough I broke out immediately again. When you are an entrepreneur running your own business and brand that’s completely not cool. And together with my daughter we have many stories like that. Sometimes I…

    How to Embrace Self Care Before Every Trip

    September 28, 2018 - By 

    Before every trip here I have a list of work obligations and personal details to get through. Not going to lie. Sometimes it gets hairy. One by one each task slowly gets ticked off my To Do List. Of course there’s packing and getting organized, but those are mostly routine jobs I can do quickly. I also have a specific self care routine that allows me to strive towards being in good health during the trip. That means paying attention to a few consistent things before every trip. Travel is truly an epic adventure always and it’s also hard work…

    Decadent Candy Corn Fudge

    September 26, 2018 - By 

    This is Halloween. This is Halloween. You know that song? For some crazy reason I can’t get it out of my head right now! I know crazy, right. Some things you’d like to get rid of and others you can’t get enough of. Like this yummy decadent Candy Corn Fudge treat. Can’t get enough of it. Although my dentist might argue the fact. Candy corn is one of those funny little Halloween treats. I never thought about it at all until after turning 40. In fact I wouldn’t have given it the time of day before that. Weird, but true.…

    Deep Cleaning Carpets Quickly and Easily

    September 19, 2018 - By 

    I am a TTi Floor Care ambassador and as such I receive compensation and various other perks. My opinion is truthful. Deep cleaning carpets is a must if you want to keep your family healthy. Pet owners have dander to think about. People with allergies have to be cognizant of pollen traveling into the house and then settling in the carpet. Carpets feel so cozy on our feet, but really, they harbor all kinds of dirt and other nasty stuff that is sometimes unhealthy and gross. Until now I was outsourcing deep cleaning carpets here. Some weeks I barely have…

    September 18, 2018 - By 

    Who knew that Norfolk County was a destination full of potential adventures so close to home? I certainly had no idea when I booked a quick trip to visit Long Point Eco Adventures this summer. In fact, I originally pictured a few fun activities and some relaxing at the beach. What we ended up with was so much more. This summer, right before school went back, I decided to take my girls on a quick trip somewhere in Ontario. We looked at a few options and also checked Glamping Hub for ideas. (my guilty pleasure) Then we landed on Long…
