Create the Perfect Child’s Homework Space with Desks from United Canada

April 8, 2019 by Kathryn 33 Comments

With two school-aged boys in the house (and one just about a year away from high school), I’ve seen my kids bring home a fair bit of homework.

And while I’m almost always willing to lend a hand if they have questions or need an explanation, I also want them to develop healthy study habits working independently. That’s why having a comfortable and functional homework space is so important to me!

Recently, my middle son had been mentioning that he wished he had a desk where he could do his work. And to my delight, United Canada reached out to me shortly after about reviewing a children’s desk and chair set! [Read more…]

With the new school year underway and both my boys now diving into their work, I’m once again looking forward to following their learning throughout the year and helping them succeed any way I can.

Being pregnant again after so many years since my last baby was an interesting experience. Having “been there, done that” before, I had a pretty good idea of how I wanted pregnancy to go. I took my prenatal vitamin, along with an Omega-3 supplement, religiously. I indulged in prenatal massages. I tried my best to stay flexible with light yoga a few times a week.

But with two older boys in the house, a husband with an inconsistent schedule and the inevitable cravings of pregnancy, I had a surprisingly hard time making sure I was eating a healthy diet! Unlike my other two pregnancies, I had intense sugar cravings when carrying Cormac. And heartburn often had me skipping meals as well. [Read more…]

October 26, 2017 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Fall is one of my favourite times to try new fashions. While shorts and sundresses are fun too, the cooler temperatures actually add a bit more versatility to my wardrobe. But with back-to-school expenses and extra-curricular activities to pay for, I don’t want to spend a fortune on clothing either!

That’s where Top Tier Style comes in. The company offers trendy fashions at great prices so I can update my look affordably. This year, Top Tier Style offered to send me a dress and a pair of sunglasses to review. I knew at once that the Strap V-Neck Split Beach Summer Dress and the Black Lens Vintage Steampunk Sunglasses would be the perfect new additions to my wardrobe. [Read more…]
