Canada 150

Entertain me and close your eyes for a moment after reading this question: When you think of summer, what comes to mind? For me, I think about a warm sunny day, the beach and of course a delicious picnic. With July 1st quickly approaching and the big celebration for Canada 150, why not consider putting together a picnic for the family? Of course, what is a picnic without a special treat like these Canada Day Sugar Cookies? The kids and I stocked up on fun Canada Day items at Sears Canada on the weekend.

She was SO excited to see if she had missed anything the day before as she had lost her tv privileges. I made the decision that throughout the Olympics, provided they were … Continue reading →

First, and lately of greatest importance for me while shopping with a stroller, is accessibility – the store is easily accessed from the parking lot at the Distillery and not only is the store itself stroller friendly with ample space to maneuver, but outside there is even … Continue reading →
