I love testing out new laundry detergents! I do most of my wash in cold or warm water. I like how this helps to save energy, as every little bit helps.Arm & Hammer has a Cold Water Laundry Detergent that I have tested out on a week’s worth of laundry. Without adding any additional stain removal additives, our laundry came out clean and smelling fresh! The liquid is easy to pour and I found that it worked effectively on all of our laundry: whites, darks, towels and sheets. I really wish that it didn’t have colour dyes in it, but … Continue reading →

Jamba Juice is a great place to enjoy a healthy breakfast out! They have over 700 locations across North America and are becoming more and more popular in the GTA. I love that their product philosophy includes NO high-fructose corn syrup and NO artificial preservatives!My son and I enjoyed a breakfast of smoothies and Steel-cut Oatmeal one morning when my daughter was at camp. He was feeling rather out of sorts that it wasn’t his turn to go to camp too, so I decided to take him out for a yummy, filling breakfast. We both ordered a smoothie and we … Continue reading →

Todd Parr Books {GUEST POST}

I firmly believe that reading to children is one of the most important things we can do for their development, so when my second son was born last July I was anxious to start reading to him as early as possible. I first picked up Todd Parr’s The Grandma Book about six months ago when my Mom was coming for a visit. I thought it would be a cute story for her to read to my then six-month-old. I had been reading other books to him up until that time but none seemed to hold his interest like this one … Continue reading →

The eye shadow line will be coming out this fall and includes 10 shades from neutral earth tones to trendy pops of bold colour. The Perfect Fit Eye Shadow Trios retail at $26. There was one problem – I’m not very good at putting on makeup, so I lucked out when my teenage niece came for a visit! She did my makeup and I have to say that she did a good job. She said that they go … Continue reading →

I have been checking out the Maplelea Girls brochure for well over a year now so when I was approached by them to review one of their dolls, I was over the moon with excitement! I had a super special doll when I was my daughter’s age that had “real” hair. Her name was Jenny. She had long, straight dark brown hair and I loved dressing her up and playing with her hair. I really wanted my daughter to have a similar experience. There is something special about having that one doll you felt was real and that you had … Continue reading →

Since being introduced to La Roche-Posay products in the spring, I feel like I have found a skin care line that is reliable and has products suiting almost everyone’s needs! I do suffer from oily skin on my face in the typical “t-zone” areas so I tested out the new EFFACLAR MAT moisturizer. This moisturizer has been made to reduce pores and sebum flow and to keep skin matt. Because I know that it is important to moisturize my face regardless of whether it is oily, I have always struggled to find a moisturizer that moisturizes but doesn’t leave my … Continue reading →

Just in time for Back to School, I was asked to take a look at Me in a Tree, a FREE Family Based website that is currently in BETA testing.
