    See it, Stream it with Google Chromecast

    October 15, 2018 /

    I am a member of the Best Buy Blogger Network and as such I receive compensation.  “Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on my living room TV.”   I can’t wait to be able to direct my TV to start streaming just with my voice. I mean this is the dream for me here actually when it comes to technology and my home. No more fumbling for 3 or 4 different remotes to connect all the devices. Google Chromecast can simplify that and make your streaming experience fun.   Are you with me? All together now: “Okay, Google bring it. Play Walking Dead, or THIS IS US.” I’m practicing…

    10 AWESOME Power Rangers Ideas – Crafts, Costumes and Recipes

    May 15, 2017 /

    One weekend recently I visited my niece and nephews in Toronto. We always have a great time when we drive to Toronto to see them and we had a delicious ham dinner too. My niece and nephews are 8, 6 and 3 and they are busy kids. The boys adore baseball so my youngest spent a lot of time playing catch. After dinner the TV went on. Netflix of course. My niece started jumping up and down singing the Power Rangers theme song, so that was what the kids ended up watching. The Power Rangers are so old they are new again. That totally astonishes me. But it really shouldn’t by now I…

    Family Friendly Entertainment with Wind at My Back #TMMGG16

    November 27, 2016 /

    Family friendly entertainment is important to me. I know my kids see and hear things out in the world that I have no control over. But at home, I want to make sure that the shows we watch are pretty wholesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not All PG, All The Time. We’ll watch Marvel movies and on my own I watch The Walking Dead. But when we watch together, family friendly entertainment is the rule.   Family Friendly TV – Wind at My Back This Holiday Season why not give a gift set of one of the most family friendly shows that’s ever aired here in Canada? Wind at My…

    Famous Siblings You Might Not Know

    July 20, 2015 /

    This picture is a bit old now but these girls are more famous than ever I think. Famous Siblings You May Not Know It seems like we’re all obsessed with famous siblings. I know I am. Not sure why exactly, but I think it’s because it’s nice to see a family connection with celebrities. They feel more real, I think. We all know about Chloe and Kim, the Olsen twins, and the Jonas brothers, but here are some famous siblings and their lesser known siblings you might not know about. Famous Siblings and Their not so Famous Counterparts In these sibling pairs, only one has achieved true stardom. However, many of…

    Dora The Explorer Live Show in London April 13th

    April 6, 2015 /

    Dora The Explorer Live Show in London DududududududDDDDDDORA!! Even now with a teenager and a tween, I still hear that catchy Dora tune! Hard to resist. What did I love about Dora, as a parent? Well, Dora was a cute, smart and curious little girl. I am a parent of girls and I nurture curiosity. So I loved that. Dora was a polite character without all that snark or sarcasm that is sometimes on television. She is wholesome. I know that’s a strange, and maybe inadequate, word for what I am describing, but Dora was, and still is, a child I would invite over to my home. I had no…

    New Feature – #TheBlacklist Episode Recap Berlin

    May 6, 2014 /

    This is a completely new diversion for me here at thriftymommastips. Why? Because I have a slight obsession with NBC’s The Blacklist. In Canada, the season’s best new drama is on Global. That’s right. I’m a television critic now. Well, 35 plus years of watching television and I am finally able to say we are starting to get it right. The Blacklist kills Monday nights. The writing is outrageous and the plots are typically, though not always, top notch edge of your seat nail biting thrill rides. At the very start of this season I was intrigued by the concept of career criminal Red Reddington working with the FBI to…
