There are all kinds of ways of protecting your family, but one of the most overlooked is insurance. As an entrepreneur, insurance isn’t something that I receive as a work benefit so finding the best plan for my family is especially important to me. When I know we’re properly protected, it means relaxing, having fun and enjoying the sunny days of summer so much easier!

That’s why I’m excited about the upcoming #InsuranceThatFits Twitter chat with TD Insurance! Come join in the fun on July 15 at 1pm EST to talk about summer activities and finding the best protection for your family. There will be plenty of great conversation and the chance to learn about difference insurance options for you! [Read more…]

Come Join the #BoironFamily Twitter Party on Sept. 2 at 9pm EST

August 28, 2014 by Kathryn 3 Comments

I quickly learned when my oldest son started Kindergarten that back-to-school means back to germs for most families, as kids pass viruses and bacteria around their classes. My boys are hearty kids for the most part and rarely get very sick but I still want to do my best to make sure that they stay that way!

Boiron Canada products are the perfect solution for that since the homeopathic remedies are gentle, yet effective. And to help you stay healthy during the new school season, the company is hosting a fabulous #BoironFamily Twitter party on September 2 at 9pm EST! [Read more…]

Enter the Love Your Lentils Recipe Contest and Come Join in the #LoveLentils Twitter Party May 14, 8pm EST

May 6, 2013 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

As a former vegetarian, I love the taste and the health benefits of lentils. They are a great meat alternative since they’re packed with protein and they’re also full of fibre, something that most Canadians are seriously lacking in their diet. Best of all, they are one of the top crops here in my own home province of Saskatchewan. That’s why I was so excited to hear about the new Love Your Lentils recipe contest!

There are three different ways to enter. If you’re a blogger, create your own original lentil recipe and submit it on the Love Your Lentils site. If you’re a home cook, whip up one of Canadian chef Michael Smith’s recipes and add your own unique twist. And if cooking just isn’t your thing, head to the Love Your Lentils site and vote for your favourite recipe. There are three grand prizes up for grabs: one for bloggers, one for home cooks and one for voters! [Read more…]
