Twitter Party hosted by Canadian mom blogger, Tammi Roy of My Organized Chaos
Did I lock the doors? What time was that appointment tomorrow? I need to sign that permission form. Am I getting a cold? Did that cheque go through yet? Is that sale on towels still on? Did I switch the laundry? Wait, did I even put in the laundry? I forgot to fix that button!…
Tax season is upon us once again. If this time of year leaves you with a feeling of doom, you’re not alone. According to TD Canada, 28% of Canadians have negative feelings about tax season. Thing is, tax time can be a positive thing, since it’s a great opportunity to reassess your finances and revaluate your budget…
Let the holiday shopping begin! My kids have been busy making their lists and checking them 5 times, and of course I have some great ideas of my own too. Have you started your holiday shopping, and are looking for ideas for toys to buy for your kids? Come to the #MGAHoliday Twitter Party on…
This year brings upon many things: Crunchy leaves, darker hours, dropping temperatures – and flu season. I remember one year when I had the flu so bad that I missed not only my birthday but the end of year celebration as well. I do not want that to happen again! I’m co-hosting a fun and informative…
With the happy announcement that a new little bundle of joy will be joining my side of the family, I can’t help but reminisce on my own kids as babies. The snuggles and love, sighs as they fall asleep, carrying around a car seat, snacks being tossed from a high chair, many bottles to wash,…
One show/series that my oldest daughter is very much into right now, is Project Mc2. This series is a Netflix original, and a draw-you-in spy miniseries for tweens. Project Mc2 follows four science-loving young girls who use their know-how to become secret agents. As a parent I find it interesting that the show focuses on…
Have you noticed that I’ve been sharing plenty of mouthwatering recipes using Reese Spread as an ingredient, on social media? I’m excited to have partnered with the brand, and cannot wait to showcase a few of my own recipes very soon – you’ll want to get your tastebuds ready! In the meantime…. I hope you can…
While myself and my family do travel a lot {and love doing so, obviously}, it’s been a few years since we’ve went on a cruise. Before our very first sail, I wasn’t sure it would be ‘the thing’ for us, yet turns out cruising is a complete blast for us all. Not only is it…
With each new upcoming season, my question is always – where do we go? I’m always on the hunt for the next travel adventure whether it’s a weekend jaunt close to home, a relaxing stay in the mountains, or an extended stay to somewhere warm and luxurious. Your next few months might include day trips to…
You’re trying to eat as healthy as possible, I know. I am too. Yet are you, like myself, so tired of all those rumours and myths out there? It’s hard to stay on track when there’s so many distractions trying to lead you off your path, with huge signs that scream ‘x isn’t good for…
If you pause the holiday craze for a moment, you’ll notice that there’s so much giving all around you. I know what you are thinking – ‘Tammi, of course there’s giving. I spend a fortune on gifts‘! Yet, that’s not what I mean here. Let me clarify … This season: Give smiles. Give warmth. Give…
It never fails: the snow falls, the temps drop, the days are shorter – and I’m found cuddled at the computer searching for a vacation. Each.and.every.year. When I should be making Christmas lists and checking them twice, I’m instead wrapped in a blanket and daydreaming about warmer climates. Yet, tackling holiday travel isn’t for the…
My kids were very young when they started taking interest in money, and at the beginning that was mainly due to it’s attractive shininess and fun coloured paper. You can’t blame the curiosity! Yet, this was the first opportunity I took, to start teaching my kids about money and it’s value. Since then, the financial-teachings…
This time of year is all about the comfort foods, ones that pick you up when the weather and the schedule tries to bring you down. For myself, the foods I crave most are those quick and easy treats that I enjoyed as a child. Yep, I’m looking at you, peanut butter! Perhaps your days end screams for a Double…
Home is where the heart is; it’s filled with those we love, along with the things in life that we love. We all have those possessions that we’ve worked hard for, and thus, pretty proud to own. That being said, we do protect what we treasure most in life. Join us on Monday, August…
Nostalgia hits us at the most unexpected of times. Just last week I was looking for swimming goggles in our storage area, when I stumbled upon a box of old photos. My search was immediately abandoned and instead I sat for a couple hours, taking many trips down memory lane. A simple question from the girls…
The 2016 Rio summer Olympics is just over a year away, and Canada’s Olympic team is preparing before they take the #RoadtoRio. I can’t imagine the excitement and hard work {in training} involved in prepping for the Olympics. We watch as much as we can each time and I’m always amazed by the abilities. Do you know any Canadian…
Think of all the occasions and events that immediately make you stress about ‘what to wear’. It’s a fact that first impressions are crucial, and with that, professional attire does make a difference when it comes to confidence. Yet what about those that simply cannot afford to dress up in professional clothing to look their best, for…
