    How to Kick it Up Now – Easy Fall Style for Men

    September 10, 2018 /

    Fall style for men is something that gets neglected this time of year. With all the posts and advertisements out there about back to school I think men get forgotten. To be honest out of everyone in my family my husband is simply far less inclined to go shopping or revamp his wardrobe, even when it’s necessary. My husband spends the majority of his time in jeans, shorts, and workout gear, but when he has to get dressed up, he can be super picky. He’s actually quite fussy about the fit and cut of his clothing, so I know men do care about fashion. If other men are anything like…

    Straight Up Advice to My Teenage Daughters

    August 20, 2018 /

    Recently, we’ve have had a string of wicked hot summer days. High humidity and all that goes with it. Doesn’t bother me a bit. My favourite seasons are summer and winter for the outdoor sports and the travel opportunities. I live for shorts weather and I hate sacrificing comfort for trends. Bring on the heat and the lighter clothing too. In summer months I’d be happy to wear a swimsuit and occasionally a coverup and work by the pool all season. But I settle for shorts and nice T-shirts. This season as the temperatures soared I have started noticing a weird phenomenon again and it is disturbing to me as…

    The Proof is in the Laundry – Birthday Cake Fail

    July 25, 2018 /

    This post has been sponsored by OxiClean and I received compensation.  The proof is in the pudding. Or in this case the birthday cake plus laundry stain remover. Let me back it up a second. This story starts with a birthday party and ends with laundry. Doesn’t every real-life story eventually end with laundry and stains? Travel ends in memories and laundry. School ends in smarter children and laundry. Play equals laundry. Work also equals laundry. See what I mean? Everything ends in laundry. But I digress. June and July here are party months. Birthday party months that is. From June on we have a series of birthdays, anniversaries and…

    Every so often your wardrobe just needs an infusion of something special. That’s exactly what we needed here this month. And happy to report I found an affordable stylish super soft women’s clothing web site with some gorgeous pieces. Legart’s buttery soft leggings come in every print imaginable.

LOVE the range of colours and the easy feminine cuts. Plus these clothing pieces are versatile, fun and durable. June and July are birthday months here. It seems from the…

    How to Save on Grad Dresses and Prom Dresses

    April 25, 2018 /

    Is it possible to save money on grad dresses or prom dresses? Absolutely. No need to break the bank just because it’s graduation time or prom time. Hard to believe, but my youngest is graduating grade eight in June. Which as we all know means shopping and potential to ruin the budget. But shopping for prom dresses and grad dresses doesn’t need to break the bank. Here’s how we saved money on grade 8 grad dresses for both of our girls. I’ve been a bargain hunter most of my life. It’s extremely rare for me to pay full price on major purchases. Negotiation is actually something I’m good at. For…

    WillLand Outdoors Backpacks for Back to School #BackToBackpacks

    August 28, 2017 /

    WillLand Outdoor Backpacks make back to school easier and stylish. My high school student is starting the new school year with the Delisioza. Her last one was just a bit too small for the bigger books that come with going into grade 11. We also can’t wait to use Luminosa Forte Freedom for all the traveling, hiking, and skiing that we do. We love WillLand Outdoors backpacks because they’re high-quality and make it easy to carry everything you need. WillLand Outdoors Backpacks From School to the Outdoors WillLand Outdoors backpacks are designed to work hard, and that’s important to me. Whether you’re headed back to school, off to work, or on…

    Svelte Women’s Body Shaping Clothing

    May 29, 2017 /

    To be quite honest I rarely give much thought to women’s body shaping clothing. I do give consideration to clothing that looks good and feels good. Price and quality is also important. Everyone occasionally needs or wants a bit more support from their clothing. But you really don’t want to sacrifice style for a little extra lift or support. Right?   Now I am not really a subscriber to the theory that women need to hide their curves or their imperfections at all. But you do what works for you and everyone is different. Terms like muffin top kind of annoy me. If you are fit and healthy and living…

    If Laundry Makes You Cringe, Try This Triple Chamber Challenge #AHFreshPerspective

    April 12, 2017 /

    Someone asked me recently what I liked about laundry. I didn’t need to think hard about that because honestly there’s nothing I like about laundry. Nothing at all. Unless someone else does the laundry. Then I love it. I also love it when my clothes are clean and put away and ready to wear. Laundry is expensive and seemingly endless at times. Thank Goodness I have helpers. My husband and daughters help out. In fact my husband does three quarters of the laundry here. I do three quarters of the cooking so that’s fair. And my teens mostly help with the folding parts. It makes sense because they make some of…
