Literacy on Demand {Techie Tuesday}

By | | , ,
1 Comment

Literacy and Technology go together hand in hand in this day and age. Last summer, as September approached, my wife (and your lovely hostess here) was more than a little bit panicked. You see, three years earlier, when our daughter was heading into JK (that’s junior kindergarten, or “pre-K” for some of you) she was already working with a fairly substantial list of sight words; not to mention her printed words were far above what was expected of a four year old. Our son? Not so much. Despite her best efforts, my wife could never engage him in literacy-building activities … Continue reading →

Last year, I attended the BabyTime Show and had an incredible time! My niece had just been born and I was in “baby mode” all over again. The truth is, I have a thing with babies! I LOVE them! Many years ago, I dreamt of becoming what I called a “baby nurse”. I now wonder if I might go after a dream of becoming a doula. I know that I can get my baby fix right now, though, by attending the BabyTime Show! This show is perfect for expectant parents, new parents and even parents of toddlers and preschoolers. There … Continue reading →

Planning meals is something that many of us struggle with. When you combine the challenge of meal planning with lack of time to do the proper grocery shopping to enusre you have all of the ingredients, meal planning can be a dreaded disaster! I don’t know about in your family, but in our house, dinner meals are often decided at the last minute and it is sometimes a challenge to come up with meal ideas with what we have in the house. You had better believe that I am NOT going to run out to the grocery store after school, … Continue reading →

Almonds PLUS Dairy = Amoré Beverage {#GIVEAWAY}

Leave a comment

Amoré is the rich nutty flavour of almonds mixed with the creaminess of dairy, a perfect combination! I love the nutty flavour of almonds in a beverage, and with the added dairy in the Amoré beverage, you receive 50% more calcium than with regular milk. This is definitely an added bonus! I use almond milk in my coffee, in smoothies and in oatmeal. I will admit that I sometimes miss the creaminess that regular milk provides, but no more when I use Amoré. Amoré Almonds + Dairy is a good source of: Vitamin E, biotin, phosphorus and zinc Amoré comes … Continue reading →

My hubby is Italian so bread and lunch meat (specifically salami) are staples in our house! BUT, not just any bread! The bread that I buy for hubby has to be the freshest of the fresh and always white! When hubby and I were first dating, we would often go on picnics and fresh white bread, salami and cantelope were always a must to included in the basket! This is why this recipe below really caught my eye! You can just see the fresh, thickly sliced Italian-style Villaggio bread calling your name, can’t you?! Are you dreaming of the smell … Continue reading →

When my first daughter was born, I was set on doing it all myself, and this included home-made baby food. Now that I have two under 3, my time is in short supply and I can use all the help I can get. Thank goodness there is Mother Hen Organics, with simple and gourmet options for baby right at my fingertips. I love that Mother Hen makes natural organic baby food. To be honest, I wish I had found them the first time around. Mother Hen (La Mère Poule) is a Canadian success story. Almost 20 years ago, in a … Continue reading →
