    Keeping Kids Motivated Through School and Beyond

    October 8, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I received product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Keeping kids motivated about their schooling is harder than it’s ever been before. At least, it is if your kids are anything like mine. On one hand, having that extra time makes it easier for the kids to do their studies and really nail down the material. On the other hand, right now more of that time is spent at home where all the best distractions are. Think about it. At school, the tablet isn’t right there. The console isn’t inches away. Tiktok isn’t playing (mostly). The snacks aren’t there whenever the kids want to get up and…

    Keep Growing and Reading with these Dinosaur Books

    May 6, 2020 /

    As you know, many kids in Ontario and many other Canadian provinces have moved on to online school. While that process for me is a bit up and down, some weeks I have loved it and others not so much, I have used this opportunity to add more literature and entertaining educational books to my home. I received these DK Canada Dinosaur Books for consideration here. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to my readers. I receive a small commission on qualifying purchases. My opinion is all my own. For me, right now, as a parent, it’s more important to protect my kid’s mental health and allow them…

    Self-Improvement for the New Year with DK Canada

    January 14, 2019 /

    This post was sponsored by DK Canada.  Self-improvement is always on the top of everyone’s list when the new year rolls around. Whether we’re trying to lead a more healthy lifestyle, balance work and home life, or just broaden our horizons, self-improvement always takes the front spot in our minds this time of year. It’s no different for me and my family. This year, we’re improving ourselves with my favourite publisher, DK Canada. Three Self-Improvement Books for My Family Travel and learning always top my family’s list of ways to improve ourselves, and the books I recently received from DK Canada help us out on those fronts. 15-Minute Japanese My…

    Earth Day Every Day with these Great Books

    April 19, 2018 /

    Every year, people around the globe celebrate Earth Day. On this day, people often reflect on the environment, what’s happening to it, and how they can make a difference. It’s also a day all about loving the planet and remembering that it’s home to some of the most amazing creatures and places. All that is wonderful, but I think it would be so much better if we had the planet on our mind all the time. I’d love it if every day were Earth Day. That’s why I’m excited about these two Earth Day books I got for the kids from DK. They’re all about the cool, crazy things in…

    Marvel Universe with DK Canada

    June 8, 2017 /

    Marvel universe. That’s where my daughter lives these days. She is obsessed with everything Marvel. She knows all the movies and all the characters. And as a matter of fact she’s lobbying HARD CORE to go to an upcoming comic con in our area, or one far away. She’s really in to it and I’m beginning to embrace that. After all, the Marvel universe is based on comic books, which means she’s excited to read! DK Canada has two books that will fuel her Marvel obsession for the summer.
