I was supposed to have some “me time”, something that is so important, but those plans got cancelled and so I took the kids with me instead. We went to one of the 11 Tim Hortons in our city for lunch, during the week because both kids were feeling a bit under the weather and some warm, hot soup from Timmies would hit the spot. We were SO lucky that we arrived when we did because just as we sat down with our food, the lineup grew and grew and grew! Timmies is a hopping place at lunch time and … Continue reading →

ONS Gear MITT-ONS™ are what I would consider one of the single best parent invented mittens on the planet!

Here is a picture of my son helping to prepare a pumpkin for making pumpkin puree: This Pumpkin Cake is honestly the most moist cake I think I’ve ever had!

Vitamin Ddrops Booster (REVIEW and GIVEAWAY)

As the days rapidly get colder and gloomier (or at least it seems that way), it becomes more and more important that we all get a good dose of vitamin D! Ddrops has created a unique form of vitamin D called the Ddrops Booster. It is meant to be taken along with receiving some of your vitamin D from other sources (e.g. multi vitamins, food or the sun). Last winter, I started to give my children Ddrops in hopes that it would give their immune system a little “boost” and keep them healthier. Did we still get sick? Yes! Do … Continue reading →

Crayola Rocks My World! (REVIEW)

I love Crayola products! I always have, ever since I was a little kid. Opening up fresh, new crayons got me almost as excited as Christmas morning – I know, I’m a freak! When I was a Kindergarten Teacher, I had the opportunity to order either Crayola products or another brand that I won’t mention. One year, I decided to attempt to save money in my (small) budget by ordering the other brand. I learned my lesson! Never again would I make that mistake. Crayola products are quality products and they stand up to the test, they always have for … Continue reading →
