I will never forget seeing E.T. in the movie theatre with my Mom and sister. My Dad had gone away on work and my Mom took us to the movies as a fun treat. I remember LOVING the movie, but I also remember being slightly scared of E.T. himself. The feeling that I had inside my heart at the ending of the movie is one that I will never forget. What a touching movie! I am super excited to have the opportunity to share this amazing movie with my kids on Blu-ray and DVD!Because I was slightly scared at 7 … Continue reading →

I love to bake. Baking is my favourite hobby! Cooking is ok, but I’m much better at baking. Do you know what else I’m good at?! Making a MESS! I am notorious for being a VERY messy baker. I also do not like the clean up part when the baking is all done. Does anyone? This is why, I truly appreciate effective cleaning products to make the job go by faster! I have been introduced to Cascade and Dawn and they sure do the trick! A well known cook book author and Canadian tv personality, David Rocco has taken it … Continue reading →

Does your child love to play on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad? I’ve got a new app for you to try out with them! It’s called i Learn with Boing: Ocean Adventures.

Total Floors® Pet Bissell Vacuum {REV!EW and G!VEAWAY}

For me, if I am able to see a true Before and After shot of how a specific product works, I am often convinced rather quickly whether or not it is something that I am interested in. We have a dark carpet (note to self, NEVER EVER buy another dark carpet again!) in our family room. Our family room is a major traffic place in our house. It sits between our open front hall and our kitchen. As a result, it is a path for crumbs, dirt and debris! I could vacuum every single day and the carpet would only … Continue reading →

Book Review: The Good Woman by Jane Porter

Leave a comment

From the moment I received The Good Woman from Pearson Publishing and read the back cover, I was intrigued. The quintessential oldest child of a large Irish Catholic family, Meg Brennan is responsible, respectable and dependable. Very much the “good woman” she is hard-working, dedicated to her family, and a faithful wife. Taxiing her kids to and from activities, cooking meals and working a full time job, Meg always does what is expected. What more could a forty-ish woman with a successful husband, talented children, and a fulfilling career in the wine industry want out of life? Intimacy and excitement … Continue reading →

Some Good @ScholasticCDA Reads

I absolutely LOVE reading childrens’ books! Getting lost in the story and illustrations of a good childrens’ book, if even for a few minutes, is something that I truly enjoy. Of course, snuggling up with my children and reading a book with them is even better. This is something that we should all try to do once a day with our kids. Reading books to our children, when they are young (and even not so young) is so important to helping to establish an interest in books, literacy skills as well as a good, strong bond with with our children. … Continue reading →

A little while ago, we reviewed The Naked Tank. I gave The Naked Tank to someone dear to me who has just had a baby and within one week of wearing it, she asked me where she could get more! This new Mom has had a bit of a rough start to parenthood and really was in need of some clothing items that were super comfortable. The Naked Tank fit the bill! Every day that I saw her, she would comment on how soft and cozy the material was. She also mentioned that while she needed to let herself “air … Continue reading →
