    My 2020 Christmas Gift Guide – Celebrate With Me

    December 15, 2020 /

    Happy Holidays! My 2020 Christmas Gift Guide is ready to share. I couldn’t be happier to spread some joy this year and share a few of my favourite things with you. My 2020 Christmas Gift guide contains affiliate links. At no extra fee to you, I receive a small commission off of purchases made via qualifying links. I received product and compensation in some cases for features in this guide. Well, here we are almost at Christmas and this year I am doing a few things differently. One thing I am doing is shopping slowly and in chunks to spread out the cost. We definitely have a budget to stick…

    Festive Watercolour Christmas Gift Tags

    November 18, 2020 /

    Today I am giving you a peek at some of my new Christmas printable content. These Watercolour Christmas gift tags, for instance are a pretty addition to your gift wrapping station. By now you probably know I am a big fan of pretty Christmas tags and embellishments for presents. I love this time of year, especially in 2020. It just seems like Christmas, no matter what that looks like, is even more important than usual right now, this holiday season. All over town we can see it already. People getting ready early this year, putting their trees and lights up. It seems super early, but at the same time I…

    Make Coding Fun with Botzees Now

    December 13, 2019 /

    Make coding fun with a toy that combines building and lots of entertaining puzzles alongside simple to understand coding. Botzees is a toy that combines all these elements into one experience that helps to make coding fun for kids. I received product for consideration here. I love that because as any long-time reader knows, I’m a huge supporter of STEM and figuring out ways to introduce it to our kids at an early age. That’s why I’m so excited about Botzees and how they approach coding. Technology is moving so fast these days. A few years ago, apps were an amazing new development. It seemed like we were in the…

    30 + Christmas Gifts for Tweens

    November 21, 2018 /

    Ah Tweens. That comical challenging stage between childhood and the teen years. When you can almost see what’s about to come, but still there are many days when they happily slip back into their childish pursuits. One moment moody teenager wannabe and the next minute playing with Barbies again. Kids are comical. But they are often easy to please when it comes to Christmas presents. So, this year as part of my Christmas holidays content I wanted to share all sorts of gift ideas.   30 + Christmas Gifts for Tweens   Under $5 Gifts for Tweens Uno Eos Lip Balm Holographic Nail Polish Poop Emoji Keychain Under $10 Spoons…

    Five Ways Kids Can Give Back at Christmas

    December 5, 2017 /

      Wondering how to get your kids invested in the true spirit of the season? There are several easy ways kids can give back at Christmas. Here are a few that have worked for us.   My girls are sensitive compassionate kids. When others are hurt, it hurts them too. My oldest girl, in particular, my creative Type A, is an empathetic soul. Her report card always contains comments about  “a kind, caring girl who always helps others and makes friends with new students. She is first to care for her friends when they are hurt.” Showing You Care is Always Important These are the things I hold close to…

    Gift Ideas for Tweens this Christmas

    November 23, 2017 /

    Gift ideas for tweens is the name of the game today. While a lot of other gift guides feature dozens of toys, many of them high priced gaming platforms, I’m taking a different approach. I’m going with two affordable options that make great stocking stuffers or straight up gifts. Why you say? Well, not everyone can afford to buy a Nintendo Switch or iPhone X. And more than that, sometimes it’s the little gift ideas that are really the most fun. Two Gift Ideas for Tweens that Cover All the Bases These two gems are perfect for any tween. They pretty much cover everything. One is super cute with just…

    25 Most Popular Dolls Gift Roundup

    December 18, 2014 /

    I am the Mom of girls. I am more than familiar with dolls and brands of dolls and all their glorious accessories. From pretty much the moment my girls could speak, they were asking for dolls. Dolls for Christmas presents and dolls for birthdays too. This year there may be a couple of dolls on the Christmas lists too. Not saying which ones because my kids sometimes read this blog. Anyways, over the years I have formed some opinions on the dolls that are trendy and the dolls that are timeless too. Barbie never gets old. She is pretty much always a hit. Monster High is on almost every little…

    Hoover Air Upright Cordless Vacuum #Giveaway #TMMGG2014

    December 6, 2014 /

    Meet my new dance partner. I am actually not the world’s biggest cleaning fan. Happily my husband doesn’t seem to mind and often takes over the dishes, laundry and vacuuming.But this beautiful cordless vacuum has me changing my tune.

    Elegant Christmas Tea Lovers Gift Ideas #TMMGG2014

    November 18, 2014 /

      My Grandmother on my mother’s side was British. She was a total kick in the pants, a mom to five boys and one daughter and she was a huge tea drinker. Of course she also rolled cigarettes back when Virginia Slims make smoking appear sexy, then quit cold turkey one day after smoking for 30 years. She was a great, quirky and inspirational lady who loved to talk politics with me even when I was only nine or ten. As a child, when I went to her house (every single sick day) I would marvel at the teas (mostly Tetley  and Red Rose because those were her brands) and the…
