    When Is It Time to Treat Those Pesky Symptoms?

    October 22, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Is it time to treat? With Halloween around the corner, you may have trick-or-treating on the brain. But if a nasty fall cold, upset stomach or ragweed allergy has you stuck inside, the time to treat that may be now. Fall is cold, flu and allergy season. For some of us that is a seasonal trifecta of miserable cold symptoms. Many of us like to think we’re pretty tough (especially if we’ve lived through a couple Canadian winters!), but knowing when it’s time to treat minor ailments and symptoms at…

    Do Spring Allergy Symptoms Suck the Fun From Your Life?

    May 16, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label.   Have allergies ever held you back from doing something you love? Spring allergy symptoms can be nasty. Honest seasonal allergy solutions are crucial to my family. Travel blogger here. Ready to go do all the fun things any time of year. But spring and summer mean getting outdoors and hitting the road. And I go nowhere without allergy medicine.   Every last one of my family members have allergies. For my older daughter cut grass can often make her sneeze her head off. Grass cutting begins about now…

    Four Surefire Signs of Spring With Printable

    March 14, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Once the snow clears it’s pretty easy to identify signs of spring at my house. One child gets spring fever and starts behaving a little off the wall. And at least two of us start sniffling and sneezing. That’s what happened this year when we had that rainy period of time in February. Not a fan of an early thaw for a few reasons. Chief among those – spring allergies. Most of us can identify the subtle signs of spring – birds chirping, longer days and blooming flowers. The…

    How to Make The Most Of The Last Days of Summer

    August 9, 2017 /

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Summer always flies by much too fast. July, my favourite of all the months, slides by at a maddening speed. It is a quicksilver month. If you don’t squeeze a lot into that short little window it vanishes right before your eyes. Hopefully you had some great weekends, or a vacation at some point there. August brings with it a sense of urgency almost. I mean at some point in August everyone starts counting down the days left until school starts. That always makes me sad. Summer should be so…

    The Oreck Venture is Literally a Cleaning Machine

    May 9, 2016 /

    I recently got my hands on an Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum, and I’m enjoying giving it a whirl. I’ve already vacuumed my office a few times, and the house has had a good once over, as well. My Oreck Venture is getting a workout, and my home is getting cleaner which is increasingly important as spring brings allergens and dust in the door. Oreck Venture – Powerful and Practical When I got this vacuum, I was eager to start using it, but I wasn’t eager to put it together. I’m not a “some assembly required” kind of girl. BUT I put my vacuum together in all of 1 minute, so that tells…

    What Would You Do With a Walmart Dyson DC33 Origin? #Giveaway

    September 4, 2015 /

    For years I have oogled and envied my friend’s Dyson vacuum cleaners. But the price tag has just seemed a bit out of reach for a thrifty shopper like me. At least, until very recently. This summer Dyson emailed to let me know they had a new version of their well known beautiful workhorse of a vacuum. This version, the Walmart Dyson DC33 Origin, sells for a very manageable price, just under $400. It’s also available at Walmart. So, I had to see it for myself. The Walmart Dyson DC33 Origin is a gorgeous looking vacuum cleaner. Hard to say who was more excited when this arrived – my husband,…
