Limeapple Back to School Girl’s Clothing Gift Packages #BTS
I have a super sporty 12-year-old, so when I heard about Limeapple Back to School Girl’s Clothing Gift Packages I knew that we’d found a winning combination of style and function. My daughter Ainsley is always on the run, and she’s often on the go with us traveling too. I love that she is more athletic than I have ever have been and she challenges me to strive to be stronger and more fit every day. Because she is always on the go, I need girl’s clothing that keeps up with this fast paced active child and I need it to be fashionable as well. No 12-year-old girl every wants to sacrifice…

Bike Safety FOR Your Bike and a Master Lock #Giveaway ARV $100
Bike safety is all over the internet, but it’s usually about how to be safe while riding a bike. I get it. Bikes appear safe, but all it takes is one fall without a helmet to do serious damage. I am vigilant about helmets, of course. BUT… do we ever think about bike safety in the literal sense? As in, the safety of our bikes? I do. We paid good money for a couple of our bikes, so I want to make sure we keep them protected even when we travel. Bike Safety – Be Sure Your Bike is Protected So you wear a helmet when riding a bike and you always…

Surfing School in Stuart, Florida #DiscoverMartin #LOVEFL
It’s my last day visiting Martin County, Florida. I wake up, throw a swimsuit on and race to the car where Nerissa, tourism manager and host, meets me and drives us both to Stuart Beach. It’s a short drive so there’s no time to stress. Brett from Ohana Surf School meets us on the sunny June morning when I give surfing school a try. One of the things I love most about writing is the sheer ability to learn every single time you write a story or a post. Sometimes that’s a small lesson about a product. Other times it is a big lesson about life and parenting, sparing the environment, or…

Great Swim Training Gear by Finis
Pool weather is here finally and Finis has the best swim training gear for performance. This summer we are using Finis swim training gear to help take our swimming to the next level. We’re working on building endurance and having fun too. This weekend I got I back from my trip to Indian River and Martin County, Florida and my pool was finally back to normal. We were getting kind of impatient waiting for the liner to be done and the lights to be updated and the stairs had some work too. [tweetthis]Finis has all the swim training gear you need to build your swim skills and improve your stroke.[/tweetthis]…

Who’s Your Daddy? Best Father’s Day Tech Gifts for Dad #BestDadBestBuy
Who’s your Daddy? Gadget Dad? Fitness Dad? Gamer Dad? Geek Dad? Fishing Dad? DIY Dad? Golfer Dad? Handy Dad? There are almost as many types of Dads as there are men in the world.

I am grateful for my husband, who is also one of my all round favourite people. Regardless of the type of Dad you have, or are shopping for, you need not panic because Best Buy has you covered with the best tech gifts for Father’s Day. This past weekend…

Great Workout Clothes by TASC Performance
I never have enough workout clothes. I love my yoga pants, but when you get a sweat happening in a crazy cardio fitness class, full length pants are way too much. I don’t want to feel like I’m going to pass out because I wear too much clothing to the gym and frankly I don’t want to worry about workout clothes when I am in the middle of a new fitness class, or when I am pushing my limits. I like a variety of options in workout clothes. That’s why I am enjoying Tasc Performance Wear right now. TASC Performance wear is super soft partly because it’s made of bamboo.…

This Earth Day Why Does REALice Technology Matter? #RealiceCA #Earth Day
When we can do better we should always try to do better. In our cities, our provinces, and our homes. In our arenas too. When we find a tool like REALice® technology that is better for the environment and saves money, then we need to take notice and begin to use it when and where we can. That’s common sense to me. I have always said if you live in Canada you might as well embrace winter sports. We are not a hockey family, but we are skaters and skiers. We embraced skating again as new parents, because it’s a great way to spend an afternoon together as a family and it’s…

Tucker Toys Crush-It and Zoingo Boingo for Spring and a #Giveaway
I know that spring may seem months away when you are staring down a lawn of snow and roads that are treacherous. But frankly it’s almost Groundhog Day and soon we will know if we have another six weeks of skiing, or an early chance to put the shovels away. When it comes to spring time, I find it sometimes helps with kids to have a few new cool toys hanging around waiting for them to use outdoors. That’s where these Tucker Toys, the Crush-It adjustable high powered bat, and Zoingo Boingo come in handy. Great spring toys help parents like us manage spring fever. Toys That Help Cure Spring Fever…
