Holiday Gift Ideas from @Hallmark_Canada

Last night, my family ordered pizza for dinner and while we waited for it to come, we put up our Christmas tree! This is one of my most favourite times of the year, when we decorate for Christmas! It allows us the opportunity to be thankful for our family, it gives us time to share memories and is a wonderful chance to spend some good quality time with my family. As a Press Pause member for Hallmark, I have the wonderful opportunity to share many great products that you can find in select Hallmark Stores. We received a huge box … Continue reading

There’s a Baby in the Family This Christmas!

I am SO excited for the Holidays this year. Don’t get me wrong, I always get excited for the Holidays, but this year there is that added bit of excitement because I have a baby neice who will be 3 months old. Christmas is always extra special with little ones around! Side Note:I remember my daughter’s First Christmas! She was 9 months old and while visiting with my inlaws, she crawled over to the diaper bag and signed (baby sign language) the sign for poo. Sure enough, she had a poopy diaper, but let me tell you that what she … Continue reading

“All I Want for Christmas is Lego Star Wars”

Ok – you know the song “All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth” – that was the song I was singing when I typed in that blog post title! And it’s not me that really is singing those words, it’s my four year old son and…my husband because this year, I have two guys in my house who have asked for Lego Stars Wars for Christmas!

A Unique Spin on an Advent Calendar from @Loose_Button

I absolutely LOVE the anticipation of the upcoming Holiday Season! I get giddy just like my children do. One thing that I always look forward to is our family tradition of using an Advent Calendar to count down the days leading up to Christmas Day. My kids and hubby all enjoy Lego Advent Calendars and while they are super fun (on a kid level), I’ve got something that appeals to me on a “woman” level, a whole lot more…. Loose Button has come up with an Advent Calendar that is filled with beauty, skin care and fragrance products from Lancôme, … Continue reading

Unique, Fun and Practical Stocking Stuffers for Kids

As my hubby and I were wrapping the kids’ stockings this year, it occurred to me that children don’t require much to be happy. One of the items that we put in the kids’ stockings this year are those individual hot chocolate packets. We bought them 90% off at the end of the Christmas Season last year and I tucked them away for this year’s stockings. I am frugal and if I can get a good deal on something, I will! Unfortunately, I didn’t store them well and one of them got punctured. I found some bubble wrap to wrap … Continue reading

Book Review: Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story

Many children get very wrapped up in the whole notion that they will be receiving gifts during that holidays and they sometimes forget the importance of giving. In my family, we try very hard to stress the importance of giving by talking about it and by also giving to others who are in need through toy donations, food banks and various charities. The book Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving: A Christmas Story by Howard Binkow and Susan F. Cornelison is a wonderful story about a bunny rabbit named Howard who forgets about the importance of giving. Howard … Continue reading
