    June 8, 2017 - By 

    The cost of post-secondary education in Canada continues to climb. Chances are good you already know this. In fact, I know many of you have been saving or putting money away into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for years. And, you are not alone. Many parents and grandparents are trying to save as much as they can in an RESP so that kids and grandkids can continue their education after high school without the burden of student loans. RESPs are a great savings tool. There are federal government grants that can help top up your funds and that can…

    June 5, 2017 - By 

    The summer is one of the most expensive times of year for many parents. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer. It’s my favourite of all the seasons. But, by the time I pay my yearly taxes in the spring, and then fix whatever home related repairs are needed, it’s time to pay for the kid’s summer camps too. That exhausts the budget. However I know I am not alone. Many people are in the same boat. That’s why I am offering a cash giveaway right now! I have partnered with several other bloggers to offer this $425 US Cash…

    Low Sodium Sweet Potato Fries and Tangy Dip #BornOnTheFarm

    June 5, 2017 - By 

    I am Ontario born and raised. Which means I can handle a challenging snowy winter, and I love to ski and skate, and I enjoy all four of our very pronounced and sometimes short seasons. It also means I have been to a farm many times in my life. Boy, do I know how hard farmers work. Wouldn’t trade places with a farmer for more than a day, ever! My Mom grew up on a farm and I have heard a trillion stories. Her big family, with five brothers, and herself, all had a role to help bring their strawberries…

    Exceptional Gulf Shores Breakfast Restaurants in Alabama

    May 31, 2017 - By 

    The Gulf Shores breakfast scene has me rethinking my simple breakfast style. With so many scrumptious southern options and restaurants that do breakfast well, it’s hard not to become a breakfast junkie here. What kind of breakfast do you eat? Are you a hearty bacon and eggs kind of person? A French Toast kind of girl, or the coffee and cereal type? I’m a coffee and yogurt person. Getting the kids out the door, and starting work early is a high priority here, so my breakfast style is simple. But that simplicity can get a little boring and I’m the first…

    Svelte Women’s Body Shaping Clothing

    May 29, 2017 - By 

    To be quite honest I rarely give much thought to women’s body shaping clothing. I do give consideration to clothing that looks good and feels good. Price and quality is also important. Everyone occasionally needs or wants a bit more support from their clothing. But you really don’t want to sacrifice style for a little extra lift or support. Right?   Now I am not really a subscriber to the theory that women need to hide their curves or their imperfections at all. But you do what works for you and everyone is different. Terms like muffin top kind of…
