    Information for First Time Homebuyers When my husband and I were first married, we were both VERY eager to get out of our basement apartment that we were renting and into our first home. Immediately after our wedding, my hubby we sat down and figured out our financial situation and we started to look for a house. We had NO idea what we were doing or how we should start and our first search within our price range led us to a run down house in a terrible neighbourhood. I walked away crying and thinking that we would … Continue reading →

I Need Some Shaving Tips!

I am in a wedding this weekend and I am the Matron of Honour. We are wearing shortish black dresses which means that I am not able to hide my legs. I’ve been using an amazing self tanner to give my legs a sun kissed glow instead of looking like white sticks. My next hurdle will be to shave without cutting myself. The last thing I want is to have a gouge out of one of my ankles, which I have been known to have. What are your secret shaving tips? One of my tips, which seems SO simple, but … Continue reading →

Do you write a blog? Do you host giveaways on your blog? If the answer is YES to both of these questions, you may wonder how to go about promoting your giveaways. There are many places online to promote giveaways. I find Twitter to be one of the most effective ways to share giveaways. Word travels fast, and it can reach large audiences depending on how many followers you have. As well, if one of your entries is to “tweet” about your giveaway, it will reach so many people. I host a regularly updated Giveaway Listings on my blog. It … Continue reading →

Making Time for Play! It’s Important!

Routines change once school is back in session! But, that doesn’t mean that play goes out the window! Especially for little children, play is a crucial part of their day. My daughter just started grade one this fall and she is missing Kindergarten like crazy because grade one is so work focused and no play time is allowed. This is not always the case in every grade one classroom and in my opinion it shouldn’t be. Play is important and people can learn through play in many different ways! To compensate for the fact that my daughter hasn’t received that … Continue reading →

Our Finally Diaper Free Event is coming to a close with one more day left! I am happy to report that my son is wearing underpants instead of diapers 95% of the time now. He is staying dry almost 100% during the day, with the odd accident. We are still working on #2, but at least now he is aware that it is coming and he asks for a diaper. Potty Training is a process. For some it is a short time of transition and for others it takes a little bit longer. Every child is different and that is … Continue reading →

Guest Post by @DidYouKnowCanada: Potty Training Twins

Leave a comment

This post is part of #FDF (Finally Diaper Free), an event all about Potty Training co-hosted by The Knit Wit. As a Mom of twin boys I always tried to tell myself I was never too concerned about potty training. I was on the “it will happen when it happens” side I said, besides, changing a diaper is easier than spending hours in the bathroom with the 2 of them. We did everything we were suppose to – had the potty out all the time, they (still) follow us to the bathroom, tried rewards, tried down playing it, tried no … Continue reading →
