Congratulations to tumyii and Athena (tinatchick) the winners of this giveaway! The “What to Expect” book series is one of the most popular and trusted book series out there for pregnant women.

So many of my pregnant friends or friends that had already had babies told me this was the pregnancy bible. Pregnancy bible it was!

Recently, we took my daughter off of all lactose because we thought that she might have a lactose intolerance or sensitivity. During the month of having my daughter off lactose, we gained a true appreciation for people with allergies and sensitivities. For those of you who have Gluten sensitivities (that would be 14% of all Canadians), you will be happy to know that a new cereal by General Mills has hit grocery store shelves this June! CHEX cereal has two new GLUTEN FREE varieties: Honey Nut and Rice Chex. We have sampled both varieties in our house and both kids … Continue reading →

Strawberries are in season and this year, they are really yummy! It must be the cooler weather we have been having here in Ontario. Yesterday, I took the kids strawberry picking.

I’ve stored my strawberries in my new Glass Rubbermaid containers (unwashed, in layers in between paper towels) – a review will be coming shortly on these wonderful containers (along with a giveaway!) and now, we’re using the strawberries up.
