My family participated in the Glad Fresh Food Challenge which was a commitment to achieve ZERO food wasted over the first two weeks of October. This is a tough challenge for us as we often get a little over-excited in the produce section and end up throwing out rotting fruits and vegetables we just plain …

Now that fall is officially here it is time to start back up with hearty home cooked meals that satisfy both your body and soul. You know, I am not a fan of fall. It’s not my thing. It means cold weather which I do not like. The one thing I do really love about …
I was really excited to be asked to be one of the first Canadians to try a brand new Keurig 2.0 Brewing System. Specifically, I was sent a Keurig 2.0 K500 Brewer to review, although there is also a K400 and a K300 brewer available with slightly different features and price points. I was …
There’s a lot to be gained with meal planning. When done properly you eat healthier food, eliminate take-out and and save at the grocery store all at the same time. However, it can be a daunting project to start and continue if you are working from the ground up. If you need a little …
I have a confession to make. I used to steal baby wipes when nobody was looking to wipe my bum. It usually involved sneaking into the baby’s room to snatch a wipe, racing to the bathroom and then sneaking back into the baby’s room to dispose of the wipe in the diaper bin since you …
Prepping food for cooking can be an arduous and time-consuming task if you do not have the right tools. The very thought of slicing all those potatoes thinly and evenly for scalloped potatoes is daunting. I’m not a chef, and I certainly am not handy with a knife. I was given the opportunity to …
Despite e-mail, instant messengers and unlimited texting, there is just something so special about receiving a hand written card. An invitation, a thank you, a holiday card. One of the many things my mother has taught me over the years is the art of the Thank You letter. Not a thank you e-mail or a …
The end of summer marks the beginning of a new adventure for many kids – college and university! A dorm room offers the chance for students to claim a space and come into their own, often in limited square footage. When I had my own dorm room to decorate I made use of my colour …
As Canadians, we spend close to 90% of our time inside; at home, at work and in recreational environments. Most people, however, are unaware of the effects that poor indoor air quality can have on their health. Worse still, many of us spend hundreds of dollars yearly on so called air freshener products that only …
For almost a year now I have been using a natural memory foam pillow that I have been in love with. The switch from a traditional pillow made such a huge impact in my sleep quality that I can honestly say I will never go back to one. I was asked by ComfyComfy Canada to …
Keira is now successfully day-time potty trained but doing away with diaper means great responsibilities like learning how to wipe herself. She is definitely a girl who can’t help but use more than just a little too much when it comes to toilet paper. The is especially a problem when combined with our low-flow toilets. …
Ava is now nearly 5 months old, and so it is almost time to start thinking about introducing her to real food. With Keira I made most of her baby food with fresh organic fruits and vegetables and meat. I plan to do the same with Ava and now that I have a brand new …
This year my mother has asked me to just take her out for breakfast for mothers day… but on a random day in the week. I also wanted to get her a gift from my girls that she would truly treasure and after seeing a newsletter in my inbox from Posterjack.ca I knew just …

Being heavily pregnant and chasing a toddler around all day does not leave you with a whole lot of time or energy for most cleaning chores. They do have to get done though and I am all for the quick and easy method. Admittedly I am not great at sweeping during the best of …
Coming up with great gift ideas for Dad each year can be a real challenge, especially when shopping for the Dad who seems to already have it all. This year get him something both useful and practical – a Man Cave Safety Pack from First Alert! Some ideas of what you could include in your …
How much would you love to be able to make your own Soda in your own home whenever you want. No trekking off to the store, no lugging home heavy cases of cans of pop? What if I told you this Soda is also free of glucose/fructose and much healthier than the soda …
There is one scent that truly says Christmas for me. No, not Turkey, not gingerbread, not pine. Not even peppermint or cloves. Rather the smell of wood burning in the fireplace. There is just nothing like it. It brings back memories of walking home from Church on Christmas eve and breathing in the cold winter …
We really love BBQ food, from hamburgers to steak to jerk chicken. The problem, living here in Canada, is that come winter it gets a little too cold to be standing around a barbecue. You’d have to be pretty serious about grilling to be willing to stand outside in the middle of a blizzard grilling …
