    November 24, 2016 - By 

    Are you a Gingerbread loving kind of person? Me too. I enjoy ginger flavoured foods in general actually. Now that I think about it ginger is a common theme. Are you baking yet? Definitely have not done any of that yet here. Every season I like to share some free holiday printables for my readers. This year is no different. So today I thought I would share this Gingerbread Man colouring page activity.     I hope you are having a great fall so far and gearing up for the winter season too.

    Christmas Guide to Cover Everyone on Your List

    November 18, 2016 - By 

    We could all use a bit of help figuring out what to gift this time of year. A Christmas guide is a useful tool. With so many people on our respective lists and so many different interests, it can be hard to get the right gifts for everyone. It seems that every year, we fall more and more into the “gift card rut,” that place where we say, “You can’t go wrong with a gift card.” While gift cards are great to receive, it’s always nice to give a physical gift. This Christmas guide features companies than span the gifting spectrum to…

    Christmas Bookmarks Printable

    November 17, 2016 - By 

    So what are you reading? Right now I am reading Karma Brown’s second novel, The Choices We Make. It’s a page turner. Are your kids huge readers like mine are? Need some cute and festive Christmas bookmarks then? My kids love books and we are always scrounging for bookmarks so here are some festive Christmas bookmarks for you.   My youngest is actually all about the books and my older daughter whips through books so quick, it’s not economical to buy them. I know that sounds weird but last year I bought her a novel she wanted and by 1…

    Chocolate Free Playmobil Advent Calendars

    November 15, 2016 - By 

    We have enjoyed sharing advent calendars with the kids, from the time they were very small. But candy and chocolate advent calendars haven’t always appealed to me as a parent. I am pretty sure I once wrote about the time my daughter found her advent calendar gift from Grandma and ate the entire thing in 10 minutes. With Playmobil Advent Calendars you don’t have to worry about that. Playmobil makes some incredibly high quality toys. Their Playmobil Advent Calendars are every bit as amazing and unique as their toy sets. There are several options, from Christmas on The Farm to Christmas in…

    Gemmies Crystal Creations for Crafty Kids #TMMGG16

    November 9, 2016 - By 

    Gemmies Crystal Creations are the craft du jour for crafty kids this year. If you have a crafty tween or teen then you know the struggle. I am always hunting for things to keep them busy. Oh it sounds nutty, but my thinking is this – give them crafts and things to keep their hands busy and they will be less likely to build baking soda volcanoes in the bathroom. Laugh it up, but that’s exactly what my kids would do. Craft kits like Gemmies Crystal Creations are crucial to my sanity. In fact, craft kits are a big part…

    Breville Tea Maker – Getting My Tea Fix in a New Way

    October 31, 2016 - By 

    The Breville Tea Maker is a new way for me and tea lovers like me to enjoy their favorite beverage. I’m a tea lover. I have been for as long as I can remember. My mom and grandmother were both big time tea drinkers, and I got that love from them. I love all kinds of tea – iced tea, hot tea, chai tea and tisanes too. You name a tea, I have probably tried it. That goes double for loose leaf teas. You just can’t beat them, especially in the cold weather. With the Breville Tea Maker, I can…
