Disclosure: This post is sponsored by TD and the TD Common Ground Project Memories of when I was a kid mainly consists of outdoor play. Behind the area that I lived in, there was a massive green space that didn't have a traditional playground yet was full of so much nature, it forced us kids to use our imagination. We'd build forts pretend we built a new town, hunt through nature for 'food' to play restaurant, and ... read more
TD Common Ground Project
This year marks Canada's 150th year since Confederation, and I love all the initiatives and programs being held to celebrate. Indeed, we have one beautiful country in which we are proud of, so it makes my heart happy to see so much extra care being taken this year to make Canada even greater. One such initiative that I've learned about recently that centres around recognizing Canada’s historical milestone, is the TD ... read more
There’s a Canadian Doctor in your Pocket named Akira
Whether it's for the kids or myself, the moment I realize that I need a doctor's advice can be compared to a moment of doom. Clouds appear and sorrowful music plays - not necessarily for the ailment, but for the process in getting that advice! It's happened before and you know it'll happen again - it's something to dread. Seeking advice from a medical professional usually leads to a ... read more
Back to School Shopping with RetailMeNot.ca
This time in the year comes with a lot of 'new stuff'. From supplies to backpacks, clothes to footwear - there's plenty of shopping to be done! In fact, I think this time of year comes with with the Christmas season when it comes to spending. That is, when you factor in activity fees, school fees and all the extra expenses that come up. The best advice I can give, since most purchases are unavoidable, is to save ... read more
Clear Out Clutter – Glad #Donate4Good Program
I did quite a bit of organizing and decluttering in the springtime, yet it's a never-ending job isn't it? Just recently I went to get a pair of sandals from the front closet, and a literal mountain of shoes fell out. With five people in our family {4 of which are girls}, I realized that we each have about 7 pairs of shoes in the rotation right now, and this is only for the summer season! Deciding that the madness ... read more
The Benefits of PC Mobile
After working on an article last week for an hour straight, I had a sudden instinct to hit that almighty 'save' button. Not 5 seconds later, my computer went blank and I heard beeping throughout the house, the tell-tale sign that our power had gone out and was switching back on. I sat starting at my screen for a bit and watched the beginning steps of the re-start. I immediately flew off my office chair ... read more
Best of the Moncton Area – Travel New Brunswick #LetsGoNB
The first leg of our recent New Brunswick family trip was spent in Moncton. We flew into the small airport after a long weather delay in Calgary, and we immediately felt more relaxed. I quite enjoy flying into small airport for the ease in getting out and on our way. It was only a short drive to our hotel, the Delta Beauséjour Hotel. A charming and friendly hotel, our family of five very much enjoyed ... read more
TLC Needed in my Mom Cave
In our home, the last rooms that were updated were the basement family room {new paint and a re-arrangement}, and my oldests room {massive overhaul and it looks fantastic}. My husband has plans to makeover the garage {his space}, and I would like to do something with the twins room since it's looking very outdated as well. Yet there's one room in the house that I really need to do something about - even ... read more
Clam Digging in Prince Edward Island
If someone told me that I'd one day be clam digging on the shores of Prince Edward Island, I'd most likely laugh. Yet there I was, rubber boots on and trudging in the iconic-red mud, whole-heartedly looking for that perfectly sized shellfish. The chance to go clam digging is possible thanks to Experience PEI, the Island's leading maker of memories and experiences for travellers. Clam digging is just one of ... read more
Let’s Go! New Brunswick Retreat #LetsGoNB
Our Canada is a vast country that offers so much from coast, to coast, to coast. Living in Western Canada all my life, I've explored 'my side' of the country many times over, and still manage to jaw-drop at the beauty of each exploration. Yet when it comes to the provinces on the very east coast, my experience isn't as impressive. When taking family vacations, we've always ventured afar to other countries, always ... read more
Exploring the Beauty of Prince Edward Island
I think we've all heard from someone (if not from many), that 'Prince Edward Island is Beautiful.' Since I'd never before visited our smallest Canadian province on the east coast, I had always wondered - how so? How is PEI beautiful? Simply because of the landscape? What does 'a beautiful place' truly mean? Recently I had a wonderful opportunity to visit Prince Edward Island for the first time, and indeed I agree ... read more
Celebrating Canada with Maplelea
Canada Day is a pretty big deal around here. BIG DEAL. It's one of my favourite days of the year, and we always do something super fun to celebrate. I'm very patriotic, so each year we take in fun activities around town {or wherever we might be at the time}, complete with stick on tattoos, fireworks, and more.The whole day makes me giddy and I cannot wait for Canada Day 2015! Know who else makes Canada Day a big ... read more
Saving Big at RetailMeNot.ca
I'm like most people and love a great sale. Yet, I take this a step farther since I rarely buy anything at full price. In fact, one good friend of mine makes a creaking sound when I get out my wallet. True story. The thing is, I know there are sales out there and when you save a little here and there - it adds up fast! Yet I know all too well how hard it is sometimes to find that deal. You could ... read more
CanadaStays Celebrates the Summer of the Staycation
What are your summer plans? Us, we always stick closer to home during the summer months, and take in local activities and attractions. We might visit other provinces within Canada, but we rarely leave the country. After all, we Canadians have such a long and bitter winter, yet our summer weather is simply amazing. Many times over the season I'm reminded just how beautiful our country is, and one of my goals is to ... read more
