December 19, 2019 by Kathryn 5 Comments

One of the hardest things about shopping for my boys in their tween and teen years is finding gifts that they’ll actually use that don’t involve sitting in front of the television. They both love their video games, but I don’t want games to be the only gifts they receive!

Luckily, this year I’ve found the perfect gift that the entire family will be able to enjoy! The ArmoGear Laser Battle System is a complete laser tag set that contains four guns, four target vests and tons of fun features for the most epic laser tag battles ever…right at home!

Spreading Holiday Cheer with the Mac Wagon from MacSports

December 13, 2019 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I love the chance to spread a little extra cheer at Christmas. And since I enjoy cooking, that usually means sharing cookie tins full of my favourite Christmas cookies, candies and squares.

Delivering all those tins can take some work, but this year MacSports helped me get the job done by sending me their handy Mac Wagon!

Living in an acreage subdivision means a wagon like this is always going to come in handy, whether I’m using it to haul gardening equipment or gather up the boys’ outdoor toys. But for the moment, the wagon is coming in even handier as a way to deliver treats to our friends and neighbours!

Wondering what makes the Mac Wagon such a great choice for everything from outdoor landscaping to running errands? It starts with the wagon’s portability! When I want to take the wagon with me in the car to use later, I simply fold it up into a compact rectangle and put on the included cover.

Getting the wagon ready to use is as simple as taking off the cover, unfolding the wagon and extending the handle. Then I just loaded up the wagon and headed out to spread some Christmas cheer!

I was very impressed by how easy the Mac Wagon was to steer! I was easily able to negotiate down our chip-sealed gravel roads, over dirt driveways and through snowy patches without getting stuck or having issues steering!

The Mac Wagon makes a great gift for families that love traveling, visiting the beach or even just spending time outdoors. And people with limited space will love how compact it is to store! Use coupon code MAC10KAT to save 10% on your purchase of any Mac Sports wagon.

So far this holiday season, our Mac Sports wagon has come in handy for all kinds of other activities, from picking up fruit orders at a fundraising drive to bringing in book donations for my oldest son’s annual school book swap. If you’ve got a busy family that’s always on the go, this wagon is sure to make your life a little bit easier!

Showing Off Holiday Style with Shinesty Matching Christmas Outfits

I love Christmas. I love the decorations, the food, the activities and surprising my family with the presents. And now, thanks to Shinesty, I also love the clothes!

Last year I was introduced to Shinesty for the first time when the company sent my family matching Christmas outfits in its stylish Navy Nordic print. I loved having matching Christmas suits for my three boys’ first picture with Santa!

This year, the company again offered me the chance to review its fun and quirky Christmas clothing. And when I saw the Christmas Tree Camo print, I had to have it! [Read more…]

Support Breast Cancer Research with a Stylish Carpet One Welcome Mat

October 21, 2019 by Kathryn 61 Comments

Just a month after my mom’s 60th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. My grandmother had passed away from the same disease when I was a child, so my mom’s diagnosis was a tough time for all her children and grandchildren.

After a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation treatment, she’s now looking and feeling great again. But far too many women aren’t so lucky. In fact, a fellow blogger I’ve chatted with since I first started my website recently passed away after her breast cancer reappeared for a third time.

That’s why I’m passionate about supporting breast cancer awareness and research, and I love it when companies join in the fight as well and find unique ways to contribute! Carpet One Floor & Home is one of those companies; for years now they’ve created a unique set of Welcome-a-Cure welcome mats each October that support the Breast Cancer Research Fund. [Read more…]
