    The Most Charming Frozen Gift Ideas

    October 17, 2019 / 16 Comments

    Did you know that the Frozen sequel is due out any time now! My kids have long since aged out of this phase, but to be honest at least two of us will be watching the new movie together. Age is relative, right? I happen to love Anna and Elsa and Olaf too of course, so I can’t wait. This season, as we get closer and closer to the holidays I wanted to share a few of my favourite Frozen gift ideas.  Hunting for the most perfect Frozen gift ideas ever? Look no further. I gathered a few of the most charming ideas around here for you. There’s still time…

    Make Moments Last Forever with FUJIFILM Printlife

    September 8, 2019 / 33 Comments

    FUJIFILM Printlife sponsored this post, which means I received product or compensation. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could bottle time? All parents know that time slips by far too fast. You can’t stop time, so how do you slow it or capture it? The obvious answer is photos of course. But, for the most part our photos live on our phones. Sometimes, lately, I have a near panic thinking what if everything crashed and all my digital photos vanished. FUJIFILM Printlife created by FUJIFILM focuses squarely on inspiration, education, and awareness of the importance of printing digital photos. I’m a fan of FUJIFILM Printlife because I think printing photos…

    Hallmark Mother’s Day Styles (Giveaway)

    May 1, 2019 / 41 Comments

    I’m a Hallmark ambassador and as such receive product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. With spring in full bloom and Mother’s Day on the horizon, now is the perfect time to start thinking about gifts for mom to make it a Hallmark Mother’s Day. Hallmark delivers great style and gifts for Mother’s Day every year. This year I am loving the spring styles from Hallmark. They are perfect for the rainy dull weather. Hallmark has adorable scarves every year and their pretty umbrellas are both stylish and functional too. I have a couple here now and they are so useful and durable…

    Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day

    February 12, 2019 / 85 Comments

    “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn has a lot of great quotes, but this one is my favourite.  What could be more worthy of celebrating than love? Lately I’ve been thinking about love. There’s love for your husband or wife, significant other; love of your children, your family, parents, and friends. Love of yourself matters too.  There are so many different kinds of love, but ultimately love is the thing that motivates us every day. We search for it, and sometimes we let it slip through our fingers, but on Valentine’s Day the best thing to do is celebrate it. This year I have…

    Charm Her With Valentine’s Day Jewelry

    January 28, 2019 / 23 Comments

    I’m a gal who loves jewelry. Jewelry and flowers – these are the way to my heart. Valentine’s Day jewelry is a winning gift every time in my opinion. Some of my favourite gifts have been charms for my bracelets. Necklaces and earrings always work for me too. For me, the beauty of a new piece of jewelry lies in the memory or emotion attached to it. Sometimes that’s as simple as recalling how happy and loved you felt when your kids, or your partner, gave you that new necklace or pair of earrings. Every time you put it on, you remember where you were and how it felt to receive that…

    35 Valentine’s Day Gifts That Are Not Chocolate

    January 17, 2019 / No Comments

    This posts contains affiliate links as a service. I receive a small commission on purchases made via qualifying links. To gift or not to gift, that is the Valentine’s Day question. Basically if you are asking, then pretty much the answer is always get a Valentine’s gift, or even Valentine’s Day gifts. Now, it doesn’t necessarily have to be huge or expensive, but you should cover all bases and be sure that your loved one is not disappointed or upset if you ignore the day altogether. But chocolate and candy are so overdone. I mean honestly a box of chocolates, while yummy, doesn’t last and shows exactly zero creativity. So, what…

    30 Amazing Family Board Game Gifts

    December 14, 2018 / No Comments

    Family Board Games are still some of my favourite family gifts any time of the year. My kids still enjoy a good game from time to time and so do we. It beats watching TV, Youtube or Netflix some nights, and is a lot more affordable than heading to the movie theatre, so why not give some as gifts for birthdays and other occasions? We have a closet full of family board games here. When visitors come over and younger children are in the mix this is often the first closet they go for. So, it works in our best interests often to keep numerous options for various ages on…

    Celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah Joy with Hallmark Now

    December 12, 2018 / 41 Comments

    I am a Hallmark ambassador and this post is sponsored. My opinion is my own. It’s official. We are all about Hallmark this season. Hallmark movies have pulled me in pretty much every night this past 2-3 weeks. I mean, how can you resist? Christmas, plus romance brings all the warm fuzzies. Right now Hallmark is brightening my December, and with their Christmas and Hanukkah home decorations and gifts, they can cheer up any Grinch or Scrooge this season. Christmas and Hanukkah are upon us, and it’s time to spread the joy with Hallmark. Our home has always been full of Hallmark seasonal decorations, but this year more than ever…
