    Things to Do Before You Start First Year University

    April 29, 2020 /

    By Payton Schuck Note from Paula – My daughter Payton starts university in September. First Year University! Let me first of all say, we are so proud of Payton and can’t wait for her to start, but also it seems like it was yesterday when I was dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten and here we are almost starting university. She graduated from high school and has been accepted at her top three choices. Two of those are in town and her top choice came through first, so that was exciting to see. Her face lit up that day when she got the first acceptance email and…

    Energy Saving Tips Good for Your Wallet and the Environment

    February 15, 2017 /

    Energy saving tips can help you make your wallet and the environment healthier. While these energy saving tips are great for anyone looking to make the world and their pocketbook a better place, they’re especially good for those living in Ontario. The Government of Ontario recently began its Cap-and-Trade Program in an effort to limit greenhouse gases emitted by homes and businesses. The emission cap decreases over time, AND there is a added $03.3 per cubic meter charge to natural gas customers. That money will be used to promote low-carbon energy solutions. Believe it or not, I really like that the government is trying to show environmental leadership. But I…

    Saving money on flying is a big deal. We all know how incredibly expensive flying can be, so anything we can do to cut costs is always a plus.

    May 18, 2015 /

    What is a Timeshare? Know the Pros and Cons of Investing A couple of weeks ago, I discussed the question, “What is a timeshare?” This time around let’s look at the pros and cons of investing in one of these properties. From time to time I hear people crowing loudly about how awesome their timeshare property is. Lately I have wondered myself whether a timeshare is a good investment for us. We love to travel, so why not? That’s what led me to start this series. The results of this miniseries and this “What is a Timeshare” instalment may be quite different than you expect!

    May 8, 2015 /

    What is a timeshare? Know the Answer Before Investing Timeshares have been around for a long time, and everyone seems to know that they’re used for vacations, but people still often ask the question, “‘What is a timeshare?” If you’re thinking of investing in a timeshare, you need to know the answer to this question before making a decision.

    Six Cruise Hidden Extras

    March 3, 2015 /

    Don’t get caught with cruise hidden extras!! I consider myself an educated traveller. We research before we travel and we compare prices and we try always to get the best deal for our family budget. But I didn’t anticipate some of these cruise hidden extras, so even seasoned travel experts miss some things. I read reviews and I read blogs and I ask friends about their travel experiences before I book. Sometimes I find the best possible travel deal and then I take that to an agent to have her double check I am not missing anything and I always use travel rewards cards to generate the reward points on…

    February 1, 2015 /

    As an alternative to store bought deodorants that often contain strange things you cannot even pronounce, many people prefer to make their own. There are many things that can be used as a natural deodorant. After doing some research recently I thought I’d give DIY Homemade Deodorant a try.
