    Take the 30-day Decluttering Challenge Now + Free Printable

    January 1, 2021 /

    Never have I ever needed a decluttering challenge more than I do right now. After months and months of pandemic life, spending more time at home and less leaving the house for school, work and life in general, the piles of clutter have become overwhelming. Holiday Clutter At this time of year, at Christmas, I also find myself frequently overwhelmed but the extra decorations and details that make the home festive but also visually cluttered. I feel like it’s impossible to do a minimalist Christmas. That’s okay, I think, but at the same time I live and work in my home and cannot really handle much more stuff. Why I…

    How to Make Reusable Beeswax Wraps

    March 26, 2020 /

    Reusable beeswax wraps are insanely easy to make and so popular too. Recently, we had a Friday night where one of the kids was grounded. Hashtag TEENs. Need I say more? And we were all looking for something to do. So, we made a plan to make Reusable Beeswax Wraps for food. This is a craft that my oldest daughter, 18, and I both have been wanting to do this year. She’s very into recycling and reusing and striving to be environmentally friendly. I love that about her. It inspires me to be better. So, I hunted down beeswax pearls or beeswax pellets at Michael’s – also available on Amazon…

    October 24, 2019 /

    By now you probably all know how big a Breville fan girl I am. Breville simply makes some of the nicest and most luxurious looking microwaves around. So, when I heard about the new Breville Combi Wave 3-in-1 Microwave I couldn’t wait to learn some more. This Breville Combi Wave post is sponsored by Best Buy which means I received compensation.

Summer parties are a big part of our lives when the warm months finally get here. Sure, my family loves winter and all the fun it has to offer, but living in Canada, we’re so ready for the warmth when it finally comes.

    Perfect Coffee at Home with Breville Precision Brewer

    April 16, 2018 /

    Waking up to perfect coffee that’s ready to drink is pretty much the best way to start any day. Now you need not be a barista to be able to make the perfect pot of coffee. Great coffee at home on demand is the name of the game with the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal. There are a few things I am constantly striving to perfect here in my home. One is meatloaf. My family likes meatloaf and it’s simple so I enjoy making it, but am always striving to get the perfect balance of flavours and spices. The other is the perfect cup of coffee. Perfect coffee just for me…

    Electric Spiralizer – A 3-in-1 Powerhouse #Giveaway

    December 11, 2016 /

    The Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer is even better than the original. As always, you can make fun veggie noodles, but this 3-in-1 model also features two other blades – a ribbon cutter and a grater – making the 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer a multi-function tool in the kitchen that helps make healthy meal prep easier. 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer Makes Healthy Cooking Easier With this handheld spiralizer, healthy cooking just got a lot easier, and I absolutely love that.

    Philips Viva Collection Digital Airfryer

    May 7, 2016 /

    The Viva Collection Digital Airfryer from Philips is taking frying to a new level. With this healthy alternative to traditional frying, my family can enjoy the crispy deliciousness of fried food without all the health concerns that go with all the oil associated with frying. Viva Collection Digital Airfryer – Healthy and Tasty Here’s how air fryers work. Instead of dipping our food in a vat of super hot, boiling oil, air fryers use circulating heated air to give that fried texture and taste without all the health impacts that go with submerging our food in oil – namely heart disease, arterial blockages, and the like. You can also use this machine…

    Spice Up Pizza Night With This Mexican Pizza Recipe

    December 15, 2015 /

    Easy, Fantastic and Family Friendly! That’s the trifecta of all great recipes in this house. In fact, the easier the better some nights! And well, easy also means that sometimes kids who are 11 and 14 can actually take the lead in cooking it. That makes this Mom happy. There’s nothing my one daughter loves more than pizza – well, unless it is peanut butter. I think she could live on those two foods regularly. Not at the same time of course, but she’d be totally okay having them both back to back I think. Not that we’ve ever tried. Anyways pizza night, although a welcome break from cooking some weeks,…

    Seasonal Entertaining With Birch Lane #giveaway

    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 it’s a ton of fun watching them growing, and watching…
