You’ll Be a #WoodsExplorer With These 6 Hiking Essentials in Your Backpack-Giveaway

August 25, 2015 by Kathryn 3 Comments

One of my favourite things about camping with my boys is getting in touch with nature and while we do that in some ways even just relaxing at our campsite, I like to take it one step further with nature hikes. Discovering the area’s wildlife and native plants is fascinating, and my boys get plenty of exercise at the same time. Family fun that encourages learning and good health is a winning combination in my opinion!

To ensure that we make the most of our hiking excursions, proper preparation is a must. And for me, that means a Woods Hybrid 40L Daypack filled with my six hiking essentials! These are the must-have products that go into my backpack before heading out on a hike.

Plenty of Water

Taking water on a hike is obviously a must since proper hydration is so important. But it’s all too easy to underestimate the amount of water that’s needed for a hike. One cup (250ml) of water per person, per hour is the minimum amount that I ever take on a hike. For a one-hour hike with my boys, carrying a 1 to 2 litre bottle, depending on the weather, ensures we’ll all have an appropriate amount, plus a bit extra. [Read more…]

Surprise a Special Guy with Saddleback Leather this Father’s Day

May 27, 2015 by Kathryn 22 Comments

Father’s Day is just a few short weeks away now and if you’re searching for the perfect surprise for a husband, father or any other important man in your life, a gift from Saddleback Leather is sure to be a hit. I discovered this small company with a cult following about a year ago and I’ve been in love with the high-quality leather goods ever since. So recently I decided to splurge on the Saddleback Leather Simple Backpack in Dark Coffee Brown.

This backpack comes in two different sizes and three different leather colours. Personally, I can’t resist the rich look of the Dark Coffee Brown; it’s classic yet still has personality. The backpack itself features two small pockets on either side in addition to the large main compartment for added organization. And the large bag is perfectly sized so that it can be carried as a personal item when flying!

Tech Gear Travels Safely and Stylishly with STM Bags-Giveaway

September 12, 2013 by Kathryn 118 Comments

In today’s technologically advanced age, I know that a lot of people manage to travel and still do the work that they need to do using a smartphone or tablet. But as much as I love my phone, I simply can’t leave on a work trip or vacation without my laptop. In fact, if I had to choose between my laptop and my smartphone when travelling, the laptop would win every time.

Because of that, it’s important to me that I have a high-quality laptop bag that will protect my most important piece of technology when travelling without weighing me down or limiting what else I can pack. STM is renowned for making top-quality laptop, tablet and smartphone cases and bags, and recently I got the chance to review one of the company’s bags for myself to see just how fabulous an STM bag is for an on-the-go traveller like me.

Tote Family Gear with New Our Family World Sling Backpacks-Giveaway #HelpFamilies

July 7, 2013 by Kathryn 79 Comments

I love having a bag hanging near the door that I can grab whenever I need to carry something extra like library books or a few snacks and drinks. But it can be hard to find a good multipurpose bag for general family use. Backpacks are too bulky, purses are too small, and messenger bags can’t stand up to the wear and tear of a child. Recently, my fellow Canadian blogger Olfa from Our Family World introduced a line of bags that looked perfect for my needs and I was delighted when I was given the chance to review one of them for myself.

our family world sling backpackThese sling backpacks are a wonderful choice for multipurpose use because they’re comfortable to wear, have a reasonable capacity and are durable enough to hold up to regular use while still looking sleek. I chose the Racer Urban Sling Backpack to review and at just sixteen inches high with a lightweight triangular design, it was just the right size for all the general uses I had planned for it.

One of the reasons I was most excited to receive this bag is because it was such a perfect size for holding the few groceries I run out to buy every few days. I generally ride my bike to the local store and so using a regular reusable grocery bag for my purchases doesn’t work very well. The sling bag was the perfect solution since I could clip it over my body and carry my purchases back comfortably on my back. [Read more…]
