Flying Squirrel Giveaway

It seems so long ago now that I posted a review of the Zipadee Zip. It was back in January of 2013 that I was desperate to find a way to get my little one to sleep well without having to worry about her constantly breaking out of her swaddle and waking up. My daughter is now almost two (where has the time gone?) and has been in regular pajamas for a while now. I still rave about the Zippy and have been following Zipadeezip Slumber Sacks on Facebook. It is through their Facebook page that I found out about … Continue reading →

Sears Pure NRG

My daughter and I enjoy doing things together. We go on walks, we do crafts, we bake, we have tea and we shop! It is amazing how much of a kick my daughter gets when we do similar things, share things together or better yet have “matchers” when it comes to our outfits. The Sears Canada Pure NRG athletic clothing line that has launched this fall, offers comfortable outfits for both women and girls. As soon as my daughter discovered that we would be receiving outfits, she was racing home after school every day to check the mail! I honestly … Continue reading →

Morning Makeup Routine Giveaway

What is your morning makeup routine? Do you have one? When it comes to “makeup must haves”, mine are very simple. I need to wash my face, put on some cream, throw on a light coating of makeup to hide skin imperfections, toss on a bit of powder and I’m ready for the day. Those are my minimum requirements if I am leaving the house. I will admit, like any busy Mom, that there definitely are mornings where I am at the bus stop without the makeup, but you had better believe that as soon as I come home I … Continue reading →

Easy Peach Crisp

Earlier this week, I published my Simple Apple Crisp Recipe for you to try out. Peach crisp is another wonderfully easy dessert to make. All it takes is a bit of labour to peel the peaches and it can be thrown together in a matter of minutes after that. There is no trick to baking it, other than burning it (just keep your eye on your oven after 20 minutes have passed), there really is NOTHING that you can do wrong with this dish. So if you aren’t a baker and would like to try a dessert, this would be … Continue reading →

Pringles Tortillas Giveaway

I’ve always been a huge fan of Pringles chips! They make a wonderful guilty pleasure snack. I love the way they come stacked in a can. I love the way they taste AND I love the way they are sturdier than other chips which makes them great for dipping. However, Pringles has now come out with Tortilla Chips and the big debate is: Do you need to dip them? Traditionally tortilla chips are for dipping, but I have to say that I have not needed to dip these chips as they are full of delicious flavour all on their own. … Continue reading →
