With summer now here, there will be more and more opportunities to get together with friends and family. Due to the schedules being less hectic, it’s a good time to get together for more dinner parties. Going to dinner parties gives you the chance to try new dishes and get new recipes under your belt. It’s rare…
Can you believe this month marks P&G’s 100th anniversary in Canada?! That is a lot of years providing Canadian households with all the essentials! To mark this significant achievement, here’s a look back on some of the major milestones and celebrating the iconic products that Canadians have come to know and love over the past century…
One of my favourite ‘gadgets’ in our house is our high-efficiency washing machine.. I call it a gadget because it’s so much more than the average washer, since it has so many great features which I adore like the overnight wash & dry cycle {hello, washed AND dried clothes in the morning when I need them!}….
March – the first signs of Spring are starting to appear. More sun, higher temps, melting snow and the kids playing in the yard again – for hours! Yet, this also means that the dead brown grass is tracked into the house, and the windows open means more dust all over everything. This time of…
Somewhere in my mid-teens I went from enjoying our Canadian winters, to downright detesting them. We Canadians are surrounded by the white blanket abyss, much hours of darkness, and frigid to downright nasty temperatures – from November right through to April or May. It’s torturous and I’m so done with winter! Yet, I can’t complain…
As a parent, I have many wishes for my girls, and one is to never let their gender get in their way. I want them to always know that they can do and be anything they want to – and that they should be proud to be girls. Recently my oldest was teased by a…
We plan and budget throughout the year, and the holidays go and throw snowballs at us. And let’s face it – with the holiday season looming over us, many Canadians are feeling the inevitable burden of bills and the need to save. In Fact, 1 in 3 (31%) Canadians identify November as being a month…
The holidays are filled with shopping, decorating, cooking, baking, joy sharing and good cheer. Oh, and all those guests that stop by! Yet preparing your home for holiday guests isn’t always something most of us look forward to. Perhaps it’s just a little too much chaos for our liking? With a little help from P&G…
I never had to deal with skin sensitivity at all until one of my twins starting showing signs of it. She suffered from eczema as a baby and suddenly I was thrust into a whole new world. So, with newborn twins at my side, I gathered all the information I could on what aggravates skin sensitivities, doing…
Recently P&G asked if I’d like to attend a Demi Lovato concert and meet the star as well. While my daughter would have been absolutely thrilled at the opportunity – you heard of a little ditty called ‘Let It Go’? She absolutely would! Yet, unfortunately we weren’t abel to go. So, the great team behind #pgmom…
Have you seen the Noseblind commercials for Febreze? I can’t help but chuckle every time I catch one – since they are so true! noseblind [nohz-blihnd], noun; Definition: The gradual acclimation to the smells of one’s home, car, or belongings, in which the affected does not notice them (even though their guests do). Example:…
The only plus side to doing laundry, as I see it – is the smell afterward. I’m a total sucker for a deliciously scented fabric softener. Let’s call it one of life’s simple pleasures, one which makes me smile a little when I catch a whiff throughout the day. I’m sure you’ll agree with…
Did you know that April is Oral Health Month? Just a little tidbit of knowledge for you, yet in reality, dental health should always be upfront and center. After all, your teeth literally are, so they should always be at their best. It’s a fact that the majority of Canadians still use manual toothbrushes, and I…
Ever notice that you DON’T notice less than lovely looking hair, until it’s really bad? Winter havoc, a long time since the last cut, color fading? Been there, many times. Thing is, you can prevent that ‘neglected’ look, with the right type of hair care products. Yet, that doesn’t have to come with the ultra-expensive salon…
I’ve lived here all my life and I’ll never forgive our harsh Canadian winters. It takes a toll on my whole body, from mood to hair and skin. Sure it makes me appreciate the Spring and Summer months more, yet it’s these last couple of months that makes me want to throw in the…
Don’t you just love that adorable little diaper bum? It’s been years since I’ve watched my own littles waddle around in diapers, yet it’s a baby-memory that I’ll always hold dear. Having twins, it used to seem like all I did was feed and change diapers, who knew that one day I’d kind of…
