    Reducing Anxiety with these 5 Great Apps

    March 11, 2019 /

    Reducing anxiety is one key to overall good health. The mind and body are connected, and when one is out of sync, the other soon follows. I’ve found this to be incredibly true in my life. As many of you know, we have a lot of experience with anxiety. My oldest daughter has social anxiety and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. For years, she has struggled with anxiety symptoms that can lead easily to feeling overwhelmed while also chewing up your physical health too. It is not uncommon for stomach pain, nausea, headache and sleeplessness to come with anxiety. Our Anxiety Journey We’ve made every effort to help her keep her anxiety under…

    This post was sponsored by DK Canada.  Self-improvement is always on the top of everyone’s list when the new year rolls around. Whether we’re trying to lead a more healthy lifestyle, balance work and home life, or just broaden our horizons, self-improvement always takes the front spot in our minds this time of year.

    LG QuadWash Steam Dishwasher is my New Favourite Appliance

    November 19, 2018 /

    This post has been sponsored by LG.  The new LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher has a lot going for it. When the LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher arrived I was excited to see the new features, bells and whistles incorporated into the design and function of this heavy duty kitchen appliance. I am a technology loving girl at heart. So, when technology improves something I already use every day, and adds to the performance of an appliance, that gets my heart racing a bit faster and I have to see it in action. This month I have been putting the LG QuadWash Steam dishwasher through its paces to see what it can do. Happy…

    Give The Gift of Sound with Bose Smart Speakers

    October 12, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Best Buy which means I received compensation.    When my husband turned 50 I bought him an amazing Bose surround sound system for the family room. Bose speakers are my favourite and we have a few Bose sound products here, because the sound quality is unparalleled in my opinion. So when I heard of a new family of Bose smart speakers and soundbars with tricked out features able to update as new software features are added, I was keen to see more and share my impressions here too.   Bose brings it every time in my opinion. The new Bose smart speakers and soundbars have built-in…

    Keep it Together with Tile #Tileit

    March 29, 2017 /

    Keep it together! That’s something I tell myself quite often. As a mom of two, wife, blogger, social media consultant and avid traveler, I’m often on the go. I’m also occasionally frazzled. I can’t count how many times I’ve lost my keys – both in the house and out in the world – or misplaced my phone. It’s a frantic dash to find those things that I need in a day and yet somehow manage to lose. These days, life is a little easier on me, though. I’ve started using Tile to help me keep it together. Keep it Together at All Times We’ve all done it. You were frantic…

    Online activity can be a scary proposition for parents. What are your kids seeing? What are they hearing? Who or what are they interacting with?

    Online Safety and Snapchat

    October 27, 2016 /

    Online safety is a big deal, and Snapchat has become one of the more concerning apps for parents of tweens and teens. Because users of SnapChat can specify a time frame that a picture will stay on the server, online safety is a concern with this app.   What is SnapChat ? For those of you who don’t know, SnapChat is a video messaging app which allows users to take photos, videos, and add text or drawings and then send them to other users. This media – known as “Snaps” can be set up with a time limit on how long it can be viewed by the recipient. After that time,…
