The title might fool you into thinking that I'm pointing fingers here. OK, maybe I am. Yet, that finger needs to point at myself too, since I'm guilty as well. I was recently introduced into this hilarious {yet truthful} video from Canon and it struck a cord {x2}. You know, the kind of realization that makes you scream 'YES!". Give the video a watch and let the truth soak in ... Hi, I'm Tammi and I love ... read more
How to Create a Gallery Wall with the Canon PIXMA PRO Printer
For years I have wanted to create a beautiful gallery wall in our living room. I have the perfect wall picked out, and many times I've stared at it and have tried to inspire myself to finally create it. I have all of my favourite photos chosen, and even have the largest framed photo as the focal point, waiting in my office. So what's holding me back? Creating a gallery wall looks complicated to me. ... read more

New Deck Reveal!
Guess where I'm sitting this very minute? It's been a long 3 weeks since deck demolition and the start of our backyard renovation. Actually, it's been almost torturous thanks to contractor 'issues'. I found it tough to have 3 kids, and no backyard to play in when they are entirely used to spending so much time out there. We've had to get creative each day: lemonade stands out front, bike riding ... read more
Backyard Renovation: Deck is Demolished!
Months ago we started the process of a backyard renovation in the form of a new deck, a long overdue task which we had discussed for years. First we had to decide exactly what we wanted, interview contractors, choose the one to do it, and then wait for mother nature to agree with us. That last part was the worst of all, as luck would have it, rain came down for weeks {I'm sure you've heard all about the ... read more
Home Office: Operation Awesome Desk, Success!
For the longest time, our office was basically in the storage/spare room, in the basement of our house. In that room sat our first computer desk, plain with a wood top and metal legs that had sharp edges. I recall cursing at this desk more than loving it, since I continually would cut myself on the metal. How we put up with that thing as long as we did, I'll never know. Yet within the last year I re-arranged ... read more
The Brick Warehouse, My Shopping Spree
Last month I told you about a great contest happening at The Brick Warehouse. They are looking for design tips, and sharing yours could land you a $2500 shopping spree. I also told you that I am Augusts' Design Tip Winner! Since then, I have been busy browsing The Brick website as well as in store. I had an idea of what I wanted to get, yet when I got to the store I was easily swayed by other things that I would love to ... read more
Delta In2ition Shower Head Review
Have you seen the commercial for the Delta In2ition Shower Head Review on TV? It's a pretty good one, if you haven't seen this commercial yet, take a peek. When I read up on the features of the Delta In2ition Shower Head review, I knew it would be one that I'd love. My husband on the other hand, was skeptical, "I like our shower Head...this one looks the same to me....what if you take away the one I like and I ... read more
Delta Faucet with Touch2O Technology!
Something you need to know about: Delta Faucet with Touch2O Technology. Here's why: One reason why I love my kitchen automatic soap dispenser is because I don't have to touch anything to get soap on my hands. I don't like a dirty soap bottle or dish. Guess what? I hate having to turn on the kitchen faucet with hands covered in food/dirt/meat blood either! Delta Faucet has a fantastic and beautiful solution ... read more
FastTrack Garage Organization System by Rubbermaid
In a previous Rubbermaid Shed Review post I told you that I was in the process of also doing a Rubbermaid Garage Makeover, a little organizing thanks to the Rubbermaid FastTrack Garage Organization System. After many long months of my garage being in utter and total chaos {no exaggeration there}, it is finally complete and ready for the big unveiling. I will explain in a bit why it took so long to complete this ... read more
Rubbermaid Roughneck Shed
Before getting to work on my garage makeover with Rubbermaid, I had to get my Rubbermaid Roughneck Shed set up, and all the yard equipment and gardening supplies out of the way. This project in itself took a while to start, thanks a lovely Alberta Spring snowstorm followed by weeks of rain. So, keep in mind that doing outdoor projects like these may depend on your weather and cooperation by Mother Nature. Once the sun ... read more

Since that time, we have been busy working with Rubbermaid on the plans to organize our garage. After all, I had to decide what was in there, where the problem areas were, and what Rubbermaid ... read more
Garage Makeover, Are You In Need of One?
