The time of year couldn’t be more perfect for a Monster High party! Halloween, plus quirky dolls and cooler climate means more time spent playing indoors creatively. This weekend we finally had time to invite some neighbors and friends over for the night to party Monster High style. It was worth the wait and the kids had a blast viewing the latest Monster High Freaky Fusion movie release. Monster High has been a great conversation starter here in our new neighbourhood. We moved in February and happily found a lot of kids the same age as my daughters in…

The Lifesaver III arrived here just in time for Blissdom Canada so I charged it up and packed it in my laptop bag and got ready to attend Canada’s most important social media conference. Now, as every iPhone user knows, Apple gadgets often run low on battery. They may be workhorses, but battery life isn’t ideal. My iPhone battery runs down fast when I spend the day tweeting, posting, sharing, liking and seeking out Google Maps directions to find the nearest restaurants. At Blogher in the summer I forgot my free no name charger that came courtesy of some event…

Breakfast is key to the start of the day. It is crucial to start every morning on the right foot, and around here Kellogg’s cereal is a big part of that. Rice Krispies are a staple here so when I spied the new Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes Cereal and other Kellogg’s New Products I was giddy. Rice Krispies cereal is the one I bake with and the one I reach for as an adult because I know it works for me. I have loved the taste of it since I was a kid. Happily I can report that Rice…

Bring on the butterscotch pudding. By the end of September every parent around will be searching for new lunch ideas and snacks to pack in children’s lunches. It doesn’t take long to run out of ideas each school year. But this year I have a great butterscotch pudding snack I am happy to have found for the kid’s lunches. Puddin’ SqueeZ pudding on the go snacks that will clearly kick things up a notch. Let’s be honest. Back to School is not my favourite time of year. Reason number one: the fall signifies the start of the miserable weather slide that ends…

Seasonal entertaining sometimes is a challenge here. I am anything but a natural at entertaining. But summer, plus a house with a pool, and half a dozen birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations here at the Schuck house all add up to numerous chances to practice getting summer seasonal entertaining just right. This year, our new house, new neighbourhood and new pool are all beautiful opportunities to build new friendships, cement old ones and have a summer that is memorable for everyone. My kids have had multiple summer pool parties with friends already and we are getting the hang of that. Plus…

Looking for pretty and personalized jewelry? Onecklace is the perfect option – affordable and creative. I recently received a Silver Necklace with my kid’s names on it and have come to love this company. Silver in the summer also makes me happy, especially with a tiny bit of sun kissed skin to set it off. ONecklace has many gorgeous gold, sterling silver and silver plated jewellery products to choose from. This gorgeous little number by ONecklace is so unique too. I am especially fond of the Mother necklaces and the name necklaces. The silver necklace I chose is from the…

I had beautiful nails for months. It’s true. They were gorgeous. And I got a lot of comments back when I was using gel polish, getting my nails done professionally. My professional image is part of my business. When I look good, I present a more professional image to the world as a strategist and entrepreneur. I feel more confident and I land more contracts. Confidence is important. I had lovely, coloured, polished, shiny nails for maybe even the greater part of a year and I enjoyed having them done. So, what’s the problem, you ask? Well, I mean,…

Midnight Castle game is family friendly and pretty enjoyable for all. My 12-year-old has been using her iPad mini obsessively since she got it last summer. This past week my oldest daughter and I both discovered Midnight Castle game and we have been playing together ever since. Head over to the Midnight Castle Facebook page to learn more. Up until now, when daughter wasn’t using iPad for homework or building a Prezi presentation for some assignment, she was glued to games that drive me mad. Most of her current games in rotation on the iPad are wholesome enough but vapid.…
