    Make Travel Easier with Mabel’s Labels

    February 4, 2019 /

    If your family travels much then you know that it’s a total joy, and sometimes also complete chaos. There’s the packing and the actual transportation time, which is let’s be honest, not the best part. Thankfully the time spent at your destination is always more than worth it. The memories made are magical and heartwarming and so very priceless. Even business travel can be well worth the effort and time spent getting there. But, occasionally, whether you travel with kids or with colleagues, you wind up losing things. It’s inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Make travel easier with Mabel’s Labels. I’ve been using Mabel’s Labels for years. I put…

    Celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah Joy with Hallmark Now

    December 12, 2018 /

    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…

    Vacuuming Stairs and Other Hard to Reach Places with Hoover Impulse

    November 14, 2018 /

    Vacuuming stairs is nothing if not a challenge. It’s the hardest spot in your home to vacuum. We have a couple of steep and lengthy staircases and they get a lot of traffic so they need a good cleaning at least weekly. It’s so hard to get stairs clean. Sure many vacuums have hose attachments, but they’re rarely long enough to get all the way up the stairs. Which means at some point, I often do my Amazing Stair Balance Act wherein I simultaneously hold the vacuum in place with my feet while using both hands to vacuum the stairs. Of course, all of this has to happen without me tumbling…

    Quality Insurance and FREE GAS with Desjardins Insurance #GetAQuoteAndWin

    November 12, 2018 /

    This post has been sponsored by Desjardins which means I received compensation. My opinion is my own. Quality insurance is something I’ve always known I would need. As many of my regular readers know by now, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease by the age of 14. It’s a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with no known cure, only management. From high school on I knew any career path I chose would have to be one that offered great insurance I could trust. I have been dealing with insurance companies from the time I was a teen. I used to fill out our insurance forms with my Mom’s supervision. She was a…

    How to Soothe a Sore Throat Naturally

    November 5, 2018 /

    How to soothe a sore throat naturally. If you are at all like me then this is something you are wondering right now. Sore throats are the bane of my existence in the Fall and Winter months. So I’m often searching out new and natural ways to soothe the raw, sore feeling. While sore throats are a very real, very annoying, and uncomfortable part of the winter months for both myself and my kids, I’m not always eager to throw medicine at the problem, especially with the kids. If there’s a natural option to help with colds I am happy to check that out and maybe give it a try…

    Halloween and Fall with Hallmark Style

    October 17, 2018 /

    This post has been sponsored by Hallmark and it may contain affiliate links too. I received product for consideration and my opinion is my own. It’s almost time to get decorating for Halloween and that makes me happy. When it comes to Halloween I am a bit of a kid again. Halloween and fall go together so well. I’ve made it no secret that summer is my favourite season so when fall comes I sometimes find it hard to transition and I need something to look forward to. Halloween, Thanksgiving and my new love for Fall Camping helps me feel a bit less stressed about pools closing and beach days ending. Of…

    Cozy Camping with Sneaky Snuggler Puffy Camping Blanket

    October 14, 2018 /

    I received product for consideration here. This post also contains affiliate links.  Cozy camping is the best. I don’t need to always be in a hotel or resort. In fact I have learned that I love camping and glamping too. But no matter where we are staying and what we are doing this gal needs to be warm. End of story. I just need to be comfortable. Roughing it doesn’t have to mean shivering through the night with a rock grinding into your lower back. That’s just plain masochistic! Instead, my family and I like to either camp in a cabin, a safari tent, a yurt or even an RV. No…

    Deep Cleaning Carpets Quickly and Easily

    September 19, 2018 /

    I am a TTi Floor Care ambassador and as such I receive compensation and various other perks. My opinion is truthful. Deep cleaning carpets is a must if you want to keep your family healthy. Pet owners have dander to think about. People with allergies have to be cognizant of pollen traveling into the house and then settling in the carpet. Carpets feel so cozy on our feet, but really, they harbor all kinds of dirt and other nasty stuff that is sometimes unhealthy and gross. Until now I was outsourcing deep cleaning carpets here. Some weeks I barely have time to vacuum, so I used to pay for a…

    All Your Favourite Memories Close to the Heart

    If a picture is worth a thousand words then these gorgeous personalized photo blankets are priceless. And they should be. Here are 95 pictures of our travels, her plays, one graduation, two martial arts gradings, birthdays and so many celebrations. The moments of a childhood. When I found out about these personalized photo blankets from Collage.com I decided I wanted to make one for my oldest daughter. It was pretty simple to make, uploading pictures to a collage template on the web site. The hardest part was finding the right photos to add. When the final personalized gift arrived here this week I was excited to see how it turned…

    Take The Pledge – Raise a Food Lover

    August 29, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Loblaws.   Lately I have been thinking a lot about food and the act of nourishing a family. For instance, what does it take to raise a food lover? Fall means back to school and routines. Sometimes that’s exciting. Return to a regular schedule can mean new beginnings and that’s fun, even re-invigorating. Around here that may mean less barbecue and more quick family-friendly meals. Or more slow cooker meals. The Fall schedule means more meal preparation, planning and organization, which also means easing back into a routine in the mornings and at dinner too. The flip side of routine is that it doesn’t take…
