Recently I attended one of the biggest nights in toys at Blogger Bash New York City, Sweet Suite event. There were toys for all ages and stages. There were cute things my tween and teen would love and many fun crafty items too. I hope to bring you a couple more of those soon. But I left the event with Wowee Snap Pets and was pretty excited to get ahold of that because I knew one of the girls would enjoy playing with it. So today we did the unboxing which you can see more of on our Thrifty…

If you are at all like me your wallet is weighed down by more rewards cards than you can count. It seems every store you visit these days has a rewards card. In fact lately they seem more prevalent than ever. Just today I was hunting for my library card and barely could find it buried beneath rewards cards. So when I heard about UGO Wallet app I had to give it a try. UGO wallet app is free. You can download it and store all your rewards cards on UGO Wallet app. And more importantly right now for a…
The Muse headband makes relaxation more fun, especially for gadget girls like me. Let me clarify. When I try to relax, it’s interrupted by all kinds of outside stimuli – the kids, noises, neighbourhood creatures and then there’s the constant internal monologue too. The Muse headband helps me to conquer all of those things. The Muse Headband Helps Make Serenity a Reality Well it makes serenity reality at least while you’re meditating. With the Muse headband, you have an ally in leaving behind the stress and worry of the world – at least for a while. The Muse headband uses EEG (electroencephalogram)…
I love magazines. I love to read magazines. I love to write for magazines. It’s a love/love relationship. That’s why I’m excited about Next Issue Canada. Next Issue Canada lets me get my magazine fix without lugging around a massive stack of heavy magazines. I love that, because, frankly, my shoulder gets tired!

From the stories, to the pictures, to the ads, magazines make me happy. What doesn’t do it for me is…

This post is part of the YummyMummyClub.ca and Ontario Electronic Stewardship #Ecycle sponsored program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors. My kids are growing up to be savvy little digital consumers. In fact, you could call us gadget girls and I think we’d all be okay with that. We love our technology and in fact, the newer the better. My consulting business relies on the theory that the fastest electronics are the best electronics. As a blogger, I am also often sent gadgets to…
When I see educational opportunities like this Microsoft Summit on 21st Century Learners happening nearby in Windsor, Ontario I get excited, for several reasons. I am a parent of two children who are still in grade school. Digital kids. I arm both of my girls daily with technology at home and at school and I am abundantly aware of how they absorb media and how they learn. It’s radically different than how I learned 20 to 30 years ago. Only 20 to 30 years ago we trotted off to school with books and pencils and paper. Now kids carry tablets,…

The Netgear Trek is a travel router and range extender. It doesn’t come with cables or any extra parts. The Netgear Trek has…
