Holiday Décor with Ferrero Rocher

By | | ,
2 Comments

I love decorating for the holidays. Come mid-November, if I haven’t begun the decoration people start questioning me…”Is there something wrong??” See, I have always enjoyed the pure joy that the holiday season brings, and decorating is just the beginning of the holiday cheer. For me, those seasonal decorations include just a few basic colors. White (lights), red (ribbons) and gold (accents) for glimmer. Traditional mixed with a little bit of hip is my Christmas style. When it comes to our traditional treats, Ferrero Rocher has a permanent spot on our shopping list. We always keep them in stock over … Continue reading →

As a devout meal-planner and someone who loves to cook, finding new recipes to keep my family menu interesting is really important. In recent months I’ve turned to Pinterest to collect recipes because I don’t have any one cookbook that can provide me with healthy, easy and a variety of recipes that I want. I have hundreds of meal ideas pinned to various boards on Pinterest, but because my collection has become so vast it is getting very difficult to comb through them and find recipes. When I was given the opportunity to review a cookbook and choose which book … Continue reading →

It is no secret at all that I am a lover of coffee. I LOVE my coffee so much that it has become a bit of a problem. Not only do I love the taste of coffee, but I also love the routine of sipping on a hot drink all.day.long. When I received the opportunity to review a Moulinex Kettle, I was extremely excited because this kettle has temperature settings in order to brew the PERFECT cup of tea! I will admit that I had to do a little bit of reading, as I really never knew that different teas … Continue reading →

We are a family on the go. The number of ‘home days’ since the baby was born 9 months ago – I can count those on one hand. We are also a family of cracker lovers, which is something I try to curb (I mean, how many of us have kids who would eat Goldfish 4 meals a day?). That said, we needed something just as easy (and healthier) to take with us on the go. Enter Love Child Organics with their line of tasty and nutritious organic purees in squeezable, BPA-free pouches. Meet Love Child Organics, a different type … Continue reading →

Almonds PLUS Dairy = Amoré Beverage {#GIVEAWAY}

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 →
