LITERACY IS SO IMPORTANT! This post is part of YummyMummyClub.ca’s support of the TD Summer Reading Club program and other TD Children’s Literacy initiatives. From the time I found out I was pregnant, one of the very first things that I made sure to do was to read to my babies! My husband and I chose one favourite book, Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney and we read it to my tummy almost every day. At the time, I was a Kindergarten teacher and children’s literacy was such a passion of mine (it still is!). We have … Continue reading →

OxiClean MaxForce Pure Whites #GIVEAWAY

We received an OxiClean MaxForce Pure Whites basket full of stain fighting power just in time for the kids’ soccer season to begin. It was purely a coincidence that the package came with a soccer ball, but it certainly did help to give me the visual of the muddy and grassy stains that I would be fighting this summer. Luckily, my son’s uniform is dark green, but my daughter’s is light blue – the perfect colour to show lots of stains! I almost fell over when the winning team got dragged through the mud by their coach on the very … Continue reading →

In case you missed my review of the Google Nexus 7, a brief caveat: I am fully versed and immersed in the iPhone/iPad world. On top of that, I am also an electrical engineer. (In other words, if you came here looking for a mommyblogger’s thoughts on the handset in question, uh, there’s a back button somewhere on your browser that you might want to try out, like, now.) The Huawei Ascend Y210 is a smartphone running Android Gingerbread (2.3.6), running on the Telus network here in Canada, and available at Walmart for $80 without contract. The detailed specifications are: … Continue reading →

I received a pair of Skechers GOwalk shoes at the beginning of the summer and I have to say, they are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes that I own! Skechers GOwalk shoes are comfortable, LIGHT and stylish! I have climbed up a 400 ft rock (ok following a path and stairs, NOT up the face of the rock, but still…) in these shoes, I have walked to the school bus and I have shopped. They are a great pair of shoes for any purpose. I have VERY picky feet. You will never find me in a pair … Continue reading →
