    Five Winter Fashion Trends to Embrace – Looking Fabulous Even With Bladder Problems #LBL #ad

    December 10, 2015 - By 

    I’ve been discussing LBL and various facets of it for a few articles now. This is part 3, the final portion of a series about light bladder leakage, a medical issue that impacts far too many women. In the first post about LBL I talked about travel strategies for women with LBL and ways to embrace travelling with support and a few easy travel tips. In November I talked to author and positive living expert Barbara Hannah Grufferman about ways to discuss LBL with a loved one. Today I’m tackling fashion because it’s the season to get dressed up and 2016 is…

    Let It Snow – Baffin Boots Has You Covered

    December 1, 2015 - By 

    If there’s one predictable thing about the winter in Canada, it’s that there will be snow. It might not be a white Christmas. In fact I can count on my one hand the number of times in the last decade that we have had a white Christmas. But by February when the snow is flying and you start to wonder if it will ever let up, you better have a reliable pair of Baffin Boots on hand. In fact here’s my little public service message to you. Go ahead and buy two pairs of boots this year for each of your…

    August 7, 2015 - By 

    Alrighty Christina is getting so close to having this baby girl it’s officially super exciting! I can’t wait for everyone to meet her. But in the meantime she’s talking about maternity wear. Follow her advice. It just makes sense. Save money with maternity wear? Um, yes please because babies are expensive and by the way so are teenagers. Just saying. Have you seen Christina’s first video for Thrifty Momma’s Tips? Here it is again in case you want something else to watch because maternity wear is fabulous and all but Christina makes me laugh out loud at this review of…

    Cute Affordable Glasses OnLine at Glasses Shop

    March 1, 2015 - By 

    I can’t seem to stock enough sunglasses around here. First of all this is a house largely full of girls. Second of all, this is a house where apparently all the girls think what’s mine is also theirs and so on. If you live with tweens or teens, you probably know what I mean. Anyways, these cute fashionable and affordable sunglasses arrived a few days ago from GlassesShop.com and so I am happily restocked with sunglasses again. I’ m reasonably certain I can keep these ones safe until summer, but that said I might need to lock them away until…

    Limeapple Active Girls Clothing for Teens and Tweens Who Play Hard.

    December 20, 2014 - By 

    Active girls clothing makes a huge difference to sporty girls on the go. Ainsley is wearing one of the Limeapple active T-Shirts under her karate uniform. The material is soft and wicks away moisture (important for sporty tweens.) Have you met my sporty girls? Well, this one is a tween crime fighter. In her head anyways. Just kidding. She is a junior black belt. So is my older daughter. Together the dynamic duo dance, sing, act, ride horses, kick butt at martial arts and sparring and they also swim and run track. Occasionally they play soccer and do diving lessons…

    December 5, 2014 - By 

    Limeapple makes the cutest athletic clothing and girl’s fashions Today my daughter’s school held a cabaret concert. My youngest joined the choir this year which is a big deal because she’s never been interested in singing or music. She’s the girl who runs and swims, rides horses and dives, and kicks and does martial arts. She’s my sporty girl, always on the move, so forgive me if we were shocked, but pleasantly so when we she signed up for choir. Choir? Yes, choir. And when she managed to stick with it, we were quietly supportive. Last year music was a…

    Five Reasons I Love Vionic Shoes

    August 2, 2014 - By 

    I hurt my foot two days ago. It was a sad, silly home office injury. Someone was at the door and I raced to answer it and in doing so, I wiped out right at the door to my office where the carpet meets the ceramic floor tile. Somehow my toes, the side of my foot and my knee took the brunt of the trauma. Naturally I still managed to answer the door. But my foot hurt like mad and even now it is still very bruised. The thing is you never realize how important feet are until you hurt…
