Decluttered: 40 Bags in 40 Days ‪#‎40Bags40Days‬

By Amanda | January 2, 2015 - 5:55 am |February 6, 2015 family, home, organization

These changes are often things like changes for our health and wellbeing, our routines, home decor and organization and more. This year, I will be participating in a “challenge” called 40 Bags in 40 Days because what I have decided to tackle this new year is my home. I have a lot of things, not necessarily valuable things, but “stuff”. My husband and I are opposites in many … Continue reading →

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 →

One of my favourite memories is visiting the Scenic Caves in Collingwood with my mom, brother and sister when I was about 14. I loved everything about it, so much to do and explore it truly was a memorable time.

So for those of you who don’t know, The Scenic Caves are located in Collingwood about 1.5 hours away from Toronto. It is a “self-guided” tour through 13 various caves … Continue reading →
