Keeping Kids Motivated Through School and Beyond
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…

Clean All Your Messes Up with Hoover ONEPWR Floormate Jet
My kids are pretty crafty and creative. I’m not complaining. I actually love that about them and always have. What I don’t love though are the messes they create when making things. That’s why I am now loving the Hoover ONEPWR Floormate Jet. Post sponsored by Hoover, which means I received compensation. Crafty Teens are No Match for the Floormate Jet In my house, we have a desk in each of the kid’s bedrooms and we also have one in the basement too. Occasionally I like the opportunity to move around the house and work where I want to. I don’t always want to be confined to my office. The…

Make Moments Last Forever with FUJIFILM Printlife
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…

Fun, New, Educational Reads for Kids
This post has been sponsored by DK Canada. I received product for consideration here. Educational reads are vital to start and keep a love of learning in kids. Back to school is on everyone’s minds, so the time is right to nurture curiosity and spark interests in many topics outside school too. Remember, the kids will have plenty of textbooks at school. They will want some enjoyable alternatives at home. That’s why I look for educational reads that are fun when I buy books. Also, honestly it’s never too soon to start planning for holiday gifts either. I recently got three books from DK Canada that make education fun. These…

Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day
“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…
