    Online Prescription Refill Makes Managing Family Health Easier

    July 30, 2020 /

    This online prescription refill post has been sponsored by The Health Depot. I received compensation and my opinion is truthful. Prescriptions are the bane of my existence. Let me explain. Everyone here is on at least one prescription. My kids have anxiety disorder and FASD and ADHD and I have Crohn’s disease. I make no effort to hide our health care struggles and challenges. In fact, I talk about them often, because I know we are not alone and other parents need to know they are also not alone. Recently, I found a solution to a BIG health care pain point. Easy Solutions Give Me Time Back The Health Depot…

    Living with Intention and Gratitude Even in Hard Times – Getting Spiritual in Durham Region

    April 6, 2020 /

    “Wake Up Every Morning with the Thought That Something Wonderful is About To Happen,” – Winston Porter Living with intention and gratitude is something I choose every day, even when the days are hard, when the silver lining is hidden so far back behind the clouds you doubt that you could ever find it. Here’s how a trip helped drive this new mindset. My visit to Durham Region was hosted by Central Counties Tourism, Durham Region and the Hive Bee and Bee through Toronto Bloggers’ Collective. Travel changes you in many ways. Sometimes it’s a relaxing, restorative, experience after a visit to the beach or a hike. Or perhaps, it’s…

    Happy Canada Day!

    June 23, 2019 /

    Happy Canada Day from my family to yours! This is one of my favourite Canada Day photos from years gone by. We love Canada Day here because, of course we are Canadian, and also my older daughter has a birthday the day right after Canada Day. So it is always a Happy Canada Day here!   Wishing You the Happiest of Canada Days! Happy Canada Day and where did June go? June is such a crazy chaotic and fast month. To be truthful, it is not my favourite. While I genuinely adore the warmer weather, I do find that MANY kids don’t do well with the less structured days that…

    My Top 5 Travel Posts of the Year

    December 31, 2018 /

    Looking back at my travel stories 2018 helps me with inspiration. I hope it has the same effect on you. Travel Resolutions this time of year are strong with my network of family members and friends. There’s something about that blank slate again. Time to unleash those travel dreams and let them breathe a bit, so they take shape and become travel realities too. This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about this year and I have several ideas rattling around in my head and on my list. Where will I go? What will we do as a family, and will I be able to cross off any of those…

    The History of Canada’s Pastry – The Origin of Butter Tarts

    May 21, 2018 /

    Butter tarts are delicious. They’re a national treasure. I could eat them all day. Seriously. I mean who couldn’t? Think about these little delicious Heavenly tarts. Butter tarts are amazing little snack sized tarts filled with a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and sometimes walnuts or raisins. They are simply perfection. Butter tarts are a little bowl of Heaven that is, in my opinion, the best recipe to ever come out of a Canadian kitchen. Today, I honour the tastiest treat in the history of Canadian treats by telling you a bit about the origin of butter tarts. Of course I know you are totally wondering where this yummy…

    Citrus Silver sterling silver jewellery tells a story about you. Isn’t that what you want your jewellery to do? When you choose a piece from Citrus Silver, you get a one of a kind sterling silver hand-stamped necklace, that captures your personality or personal philosophy. There’s something lovely and empowering about that. High quality pieces from this Canadian jewellery brand range from gorgeous wrap bracelets to fashionable necklaces and earrings too. I received the Citrus Silver sterling silver Fierce necklace last week and I haven’t take it off. It shows no sign of tarnishing, which to me speaks of the high quality product.

    Getting a Car is Easy with Canada Drives

    January 3, 2018 /

    Getting a car can be challenging for anyone, but if you have less than perfect credit, it can be almost impossible. Until now. Sometimes things happen that negatively impact our credit. Whether it’s foolish decisions when we’re young, or circumstances beyond our control, we live and learn, but our credit sometimes suffers. Sometimes finance companies don’t understand or care about that. Canada Drives does. They make getting a car so much easier for everyone. Getting a Car with a Company That Understands Life Happens Canada Drives is a unique financing company. Founded in 2010, they’ve been helping consumers get access to all types of loans as well as offering credit…

    Ziptrek EcoTours – My Favourite Birthday Trip Yet

    August 29, 2017 /

    This is the birthday trip I will look back on when I am 90 and GRIN from ear to ear. Ziplining down Mont Tremblant with Ziptrek Ecotours was a brilliant adventure I will not soon forget. Ziptrek is a zipline tour with a difference and it is one of the most thrilling courses I have done so far. If you have ever been to Tremblant you know it is spectacular. Quebec is simply one of my favourite destinations and the Laurentians are a Canadian treasure. In fact, if you have not yet been, then what are you waiting for? In the winter months there are a zillion wonderful ways to…
