    The Oreck Venture is Literally a Cleaning Machine

    May 9, 2016 /

    I recently got my hands on an Oreck Venture Bagged Canister Vacuum, and I’m enjoying giving it a whirl. I’ve already vacuumed my office a few times, and the house has had a good once over, as well. My Oreck Venture is getting a workout, and my home is getting cleaner which is increasingly important as spring brings allergens and dust in the door. Oreck Venture – Powerful and Practical When I got this vacuum, I was eager to start using it, but I wasn’t eager to put it together. I’m not a “some assembly required” kind of girl. BUT I put my vacuum together in all of 1 minute, so that tells…

    Keep a Clean Dishwasher with Affresh

    March 22, 2016 /

    A clean dishwasher is a better functioning dishwasher. A dishwasher is supposed to clean your dishes, but it can’t do that effectively when it’s full of gunk. Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets ensure that your dishwasher works at its peak performance. A Clean Dishwasher is a Better Dishwasher Cleaning the inside of your appliances is one way to ensure that they perform at their very best. Did you know that only about a quarter of Canadians have cleaned the interior of their dishwashers in the last year? That means that three quarter of Canadians are washing their dishes in dishwashers filled with hard water and mineral deposits. It’s going to be…

    This is One Quirky Multi-Purpose Steamer – Hoover FloorMate® SteamScrub™ 2-IN-1 #TMMGG2015

    October 16, 2015 /

    When this arrived I had a visitor pop by the house. Actually I had a couple of visitors pop by and they spied the box for this Hoover FloorMate® SteamScrub™ 2-IN-1 and began to tell me more about it than I knew. “Is this the one that steams dirt off the stove too?” “And scrubs the shower?” “And the floors?’ Now I have to admit I hadn’t even heard of Hoover FloorMate® SteamScrub™ 2-IN-1 before it arrived but apparently in some circles it already had some buzz happening. So, I pulled it out of the box and assembled it easily this week wondering if all that could be true. How on…

    Carefree Pantyliner Hacks: Reader’s Ideas and a Contest Part 2

    August 17, 2015 /

    Once in awhile I write a post and the feedback I get is so clever that I learn something brand new. That’s a great side effect of blogging and having some super creative readers. This is one of those occasions. I wrote a post a few weeks ago about Carefree pantyliners and I asked you for your life hacks in general and also your pantyliner life hacks, or alternative uses for pads and liners. A couple of savvy people I know in real life (yeah I have real life friends I have met too actually.) have been using liners and pads for after surgery. Now, as someone who has had their…

    Bona’s Hawaii Sweepstakes and The Best Hardwood Floor Products #Giveaway: Several Ways to Win

    April 4, 2015 /

    One of my favourite features in our home is the hardwood flooring. I love hardwood. Let me rephrase that. I love hardwood flooring that is kept clean and shiny and is not completely scratched up by kids, or pets or wear and tear. So that’s the rub so to speak. Hardwood is only as good as the products you use to care for it, and the care you take with it. I confess that I see every little scratch in my hardwood and I obsess over that. Hardwood just looks better when it is well maintained. I am always on the lookout for the next best thing in my search…

    Pass the Gravy – A Canadian Thanksgiving #Giveaway

    October 9, 2014 /

    It’s time for Canadian Thanksgiving. Yippee! Now pass the gravy. We have so much to be thankful for this year. In fact, if you live in Canada, I am pretty sure you all need to be thankful for the gift of geography and how blessed we each are to be living in a country so rich with resources. After my recent trip with World Vision Canada, I can tell you my perspective on gratitude and life in general has changed dramatically. Canadian Thanksgiving is a great time to share your home, your heart and a beautiful meal together. But before you get to that there’s a fair bit of work…
