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 →

I have always enjoyed Pur Minerals products so when I found out that this line had eye shadows, I was super excited! 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 →

5 Tips for a Successful First Year of School small

This post is a part of Summer Sanity, a series of posts for parents to gain ideas and inspiration for how to keep their children happy, active, educated and having fun during the long summer months. I found the idea to do photo writing from a fun site called Imagination Soup. With my son starting school for the very first time, I was trying to come up with an idea to help him identify with his new school. I decided to change up the photo writing idea slightly and take him through a walk through of his experience of going … 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 →

It’s back! Let’s Get Healthy Together! This summer has been quite the challenge for me as far as staying on my “getting healthy” journey! For the most part, I have kept up with walking twice a week, which I am really happy about, but the food, oh the food……that’s where I kind of fell off the “get healthy” band wagon. I am feeling down on myself, frustrated and depressed about this fact and it’s time to stop feeling this way! I have control over how I feel and what I eat and I can make a change! Will you join … Continue reading →

Summer is not over yet! We still have a few beautiful and potentially hot days ahead of us! One of my kids’ favourite activities to play outside is to blow bubbles. The thing is, this can become a very frustrating activity for my 3.5 year old as he just doesn’t have the patience or the control to blow them effectively. It ends up being … Continue reading →
