    Spring Forward with Style Every Year! 2016 Fashion Trends #LBL #ad

    March 16, 2016 /

    Once again this year I am happy to join forces with Always Discreet to shine a light on common women’s health problems, such as light bladder leakage. LBL is a medical issue impacting many women, but until very recently nobody talked about it. This year I will be talking about travel with LBL and ways of adapting and living with LBL. Life is short and you can’t hide away because of something medical that you can’t prevent. Embrace Spring and Summer Fashion Trends with LBL 2016 is your year! Let’s face it, you are a powerful woman, potentially in the prime earning years of your life. You had children and…

    March Calendar – Inspirational 31 Days of Hope Sayings

    February 28, 2016 /

    March is almost here. It’s a bit of an inspirational month as the seasons begin to switch over, don’t you think? Well, at least that’s how I see it. March brings Easter and eventually spring and March break of course. There are many reasons to hope for a lovely spring and summer after the colder temperatures have left. What’s your favourite Hope saying? Do you have one? I like the 24th – “The birds of hope are everywhere. Listen to them sing.” and also “Hope is grief’s best music.” I believe that and know it to be true. Hope is that thing that gives so many people strength to carry…

    Tucker Toys Crush-It and Zoingo Boingo for Spring and a #Giveaway

    January 22, 2016 /

    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.

    Nine Things We Want You To Know About Infertility – #IVF4ON #ONPOLI

    June 5, 2015 /

    It must be spring because everyone is suddenly pregnant, or posting a photo of their new arrival on Facebook. At this time of year with Spring, plus Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Infertility Awareness Month all wrapped up in one big bundle, family is everywhere. The triggers for infertility patients are seemingly endless. Even I am feeling it this year and we adopted our children 13 years ago. I guess that’s proof the emotions of infertility never go away. With spring comes the constant reminders of people who have suddenly succeeded at getting pregnant. That’s hard for so very many people waiting, or in the process of undergoing treatment for infertility.…

    A Special Flash Spring Giveaway – Embroidered Love Sentiment #Giveaways

    May 15, 2015 /

    This is a spontaneous Spring giveaway. I recently attended a conference and came back overflowing with knowledge, connections and also gifts from brand sponsors. I have numerous new shipments of items to feature here on the blog. My office is once again overflowing and I need to generate a bit more space in my cabinets and cupboards and on my bench too. This lovely embroidered sentiment from Hallmark Canada makes me happy. Isn’t it sweet? It’s just a lovely, light, little decorative thing that would be brilliant for a Mom, or a Grandma. Since I don’t have either of those anymore I want to gift this to someone who can…

    Best Melon Recipes

    April 24, 2015 /

    Best Melon Recipes: Nothing screams summer like ripe melon. Cantaloupe, honeydew, canary, watermelon. Such a sweet special treat that begs to be eaten outdoors. I personally enjoy all of the melon varieties. But my favourite is honeydew. Or maybe canteloupe. How about you? You will find one or two great new things to make with melon here on the best melon recipes roundup. [tweetthis]What’s your favourite kind of melon?[/tweetthis] I am pretty traditional with melon. When we eat it we typically just have it sliced or chunked, or placed in a fruit salad. I love the Melon White Chocolate Shortcake Parfait and the Watermelon salad in this collection of recipes…

    15 Great Gardening Ideas will help you make the most of your outdoor space this year. This post also contains an affiliate ad at no extra cost to you.  Spring is here! I love growing things. It is one of the passions I only discovered when I bought my first house with my husband. Until then, I joked I was a serial plant killer. I could kill pretty much any houseplant given to me. BUT, given an outdoor garden and a genuine yard, that all changed. I started off growing the things I loved and quickly found that I enjoyed how therapeutic it felt. That said, I can always use…
