Winning Goal!

I am still smiling ear to ear since last night! Why, you ask? Well my son is in a new soccer division U7 (boys ages 6-7) and we have a really strong team. There are a lot of older boys on the team that are REALLY good! Last night was a great game and no goal for either team all the way to the last minute and guess what?!? My son got right in there, took the ball and got the winning goal! This isn't his first goal in his soccer career but it...

Claritin Rapid Dissolve (G!veaway)

Do you suffer from allergies? I did have any allergies as a child but I remember my mother and brother with bad seasonal allergies. I did not envy them one bit - sneezing, itching eyes, running nose it looked horrible. About a year and a half a go I had a horrible time while working in this one building. I had horrible headaches and stuffy nose and just tons of face pain. I also had a lot of problems with my left ear. When I finally had enough...

Sweet & Sour Chicken Packs #BBQ #LMDConnector

With soccer in full swing (four nights a week for us with both kids) and the heat wave we had last week it is really nice to have something quick and easy for dinner but also healthy and tasty. I love things that can be prepped for the most part ahead of time and then slow cooked, BBQ or thrown in the oven.I headed over to the Life Made Delicious website to see what I could throw on the BBQ and what I found was quick easy and yummy! Sweet and Sour...

W!n a $50 Body Shop Gift Card from Coupons.ca

My daughter and I have started little spa days where we will pull out mommy's natural and non toxic beauty products and nail polish to enjoy a little mommy/daughter time together. I decided...

Strawberry Picking Fun + Recipes

My family loves picking fruit. Each year we try very hard to get out and do some strawberry and apple picking. This activity started out to be a fun family outing which then turned into an expected family outing. The kids usually start asking way too early about getting out to pick strawberries. We missed out last year as the season was early and we were very busy but this summer I was very determined to make it out with the kids at least once.Last...

Grilling with @VHSauces #Grill2Thrill #BBQ #Summer

We love to BBQ and I am always looking for quick and easy tasty recipes for the grill. What kind of sauce do you like to reach for when it is time to BBQ? We were recently asked to check out some of the VH sauces and try a new recipe on the grill. Did you know that VH has 26 flavors of sauces to choose from including their international selections?!? We tried out the Tandoori cooking sauce from their India line. After drooling over all the tasty...

Walmart Mom of the Year! #MOTY

To be honest with you I don't know what I would do without my mother. She truly is my best friend, someone I can go to when I am sad, mad, happy and excited. Becoming a mom was truly something I looked forward to since I was a kid, not really knowing how much work and love really goes into becoming a mom. Becoming a mother myself, I have aimed to be just like my own mother - caring, supportive and compassionate and always being there for her children. With the sleepless nights, the running back and forth to Dr. appointments with my son, sharing all the milestones, the ups and downs with my children I wouldn't trade it for the world. Mother's...

Birthday Parties on a Budget

Now that my kids are school aged it seems that they have been invited to tons of parties between the both of them. Speaking of parties, they have two in the month of July! This can get quite costly especially if you have more than two parties in a month. I know my friend D who has 4 kids and I have talked about this a few times this past school year. Some of the things we have talked about were - What is a reasonable amount to spend on a child's...

Visitors

A few weeks ago I spotted a very pretty but very big Robin in our front yard, or at least I thought it was a few weeks ago. She was just hanging out in our front tree when I spotted her. I was telling my husband about her the other day saying I wonder if she had her babies near our house as it had been awhile since I saw her last. Guess what? The other day my son and I found one of her babies in our front yard. He/she was trying to fly but can't...

Adventures of Miss Molly

Molly is now 3 months old! In the last month I have really noticed her growing and have had a lot of comments from friends and neighbors on how big she has gotten. It has been an easy transition for her and our family. She loves to snuggle with us; this may have gotten out of hand when someone – I won’t name any names…hubby...let her sleep in our bed and now she always wants to be in our bed. Molly will cuddle up with the kids on the couch or even on my feet when I am at the kitchen table. Molly and I would like to thank our friends at Iams for sending Molly a nice little surprise welcome package – a new dog food scoop, a green bone that attaches...

Home Coffee Solutions

Coffeeeeee, let's talk about coffee today. I love coffee and if you have been reading my blog for awhile you have likely seen a post or two about coffee. What is your favorite drink - coffee, tea? Are you a flavored coffee drinker? I drink at least one coffee a day or more. I try to not drink more than two but with working overnights, sometimes I have two in a night. I love flavored coffee with caramel and vanilla being top on my list...

Eccosave Mobile Car Wash #Toronto

With summer here and all the extra activities happening I know you are likely busier than ever. I know we are! All the extra driving to and from sports, camp and other summer activities adds tons of dust and mud to our vehicles. How would a waterless car wash that uses eco-friendly, non- toxic products?  Would it be even better if it could come to you while you are at work or home taking care of other things? If you live in the Toronto area...

Died-and-Gone-to-Heaven Chocolate Layer Cake

Just last weekend we celebrate our sons 6th birthday! I was flipping through some of my recipe books looking for chocolate cake recipes as he said he would like a round chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Nothing fancy this year maybe some candles and sprinkles but it had to be a chocolate cake. The first book I pulled out was The Looneyspoons Collection that we recently reviewed and there was a great looking to die for chocolate cake called Died-and-Gone-to-Heaven...

BEARPAW Flip Flop Review

Finally summer has arrived! I know I have said this a few times but I have been waiting for the sun, heat and beach time with my kids! It is finally here and I am excited to put on my flip flops and head to the beach. From the time it gets warm enough until it is just too cold for my toes I love flip flops (expect at work of course but I do wear them to and from work, haha). Flip flops are so easy to slip on my feet and stay cool. They are great at the beach as they are easy to rinse off after your feet are full of sand. Have you seen the wedge flip flops? We can be very stylish in flip flops all summer lon...

This past weekend we celebrated our sons 6th birthday with a little gathering of his friends, lots of free play, presents, snacks and a chocolate cake.

We did bring out the BIG bunny as everyone wanted to see him and pet him. I am really...
