7 Accessories Every Woman Needs in Her Beach Bag

September 16, 2017 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Oh, the beach. It is one of those places that we all dream of spending a warm, sunny day enjoying – maybe with a book or drink (or both) in hand – but sometimes the reality can be a little jarring. Especially if you find yourself without the necessary accessories. We all know that every beach outing requires sunscreen and a good bathing suit, but there are a few things that we sometimes don’t think about until it is too late. So, before you head off to the beach next time, make sure that you grab these seven accessories to throw in your beach bag.

A Great Beach Bag

First and foremost, if you need to fill your bag with the right beach necessities, you need the right beach bag. This bag needs to be large enough to meet all of your needs, have tons of pockets and compartments that can keep precious items away from the sand, be durable and sun resistant, and still look super cute and stylish. Thankfully, there are tons of companies that have this formula all figured out, so finding the right bag shouldn’t be too much of an effort. Check out Swim Wear Galore beach bags and find the perfect bag for all your beach days. [Read more…]

Build and Race with Modarri Model Car Sets from Borgfeldt Canada-Giveaway

July 10, 2015 by Kathryn 86 Comments

My oldest son has always had a love of cars. And while he doesn’t quite invent as many fanciful racing stories as he once did, he still will often spend hours driving his favourite cars around the house. In fact, one of the few things that Zackary loves even more than cars is building sets. And that’s why I knew he would appreciate the Modarri model building sets offered by Borgfeldt Canada as soon as I saw them.

These sets come in a variety of fun colours and styles sure to please any future racer. We received the Modarri 3-Pack to review and my boys couldn’t wait to sit down and start building. While the sets are recommended for ages eight and up, I knew my nine-year-old would be happy to help his little brother build a car too, which made it a great activity for the two of them to do together.

Playing in the Water is More Fun with Snappy Towels-Giveaway

June 22, 2015 by Kathryn 127 Comments

With summer vacation less than a week away, I’m already planning fun activities my boys and I can enjoy during the next few months. And since Saskatchewan summers are pretty hot, that’s sure to include lots of time playing in the water! Spending the day at the beach, visiting the local splash park and even just running through the sprinkler in the back yard are all favourite pastimes for my boys and for me in the summer!

Since the whole family loves to get wet, having a good set of towels for drying off after fun in the water is always a good thing! This summer, I had the chance to review some stylish and fun new towels that provide added functionality for kids and adults alike. Snappy Towels are the hottest new summer accessory this year for all kinds of reasons!

Top Three Ways to Spend Time Outside with Your Baby this Summer #MomTrust

May 27, 2014 by Kathryn 31 Comments

Maybe it’s because I live in a province that’s known for harsh winter weather, but as far as I’m concerned, there is nothing more wonderful than being outside once warm weather has arrived in Saskatchewan. In fact, for the last two weekends I’ve been in the back yard relaxing in a lawn chair reading almost from dawn until dusk!

While my boys are usually outside with me as well, they spend those sunshine-filled hours playing on the swing set, jumping on the trampoline or running through the sprinkler. But even when they were younger, I found plenty of ways to have fun outside with them. This month, the Playtex Mom Trust asked me to share a few of my favourite outdoor activities with infants and toddlers. If you have a baby in the house, these are my top three ways to have fun outside with your baby this summer!

Get Walking

Not only is walking great exercise, it’s a chance for your little one to see more of the world around him. Even a simple walk around the block exposes a baby to new sights, sounds and smells that help expand his knowledge of the world. I used to make a daily trip to the post office each day pushing my baby in the stroller, with occasional longer walks to run errands or visit the park. He loved relaxing in his seat in the shade as we walked! [Read more…]

Breakfast is Quick and Delicious with the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker-Giveaway

October 1, 2013 by Kathryn 235 Comments

Breakfast has always been my favourite meal of the day. From simple cereal to a large breakfast buffet, it’s always such satisfying food and I love finding new and fun ways of making breakfast exciting. Now while I mostly prefer home cooked meals, I have to admit that my boys and I love indulging in the occasional fast food breakfast too. Those yummy breakfast sandwiches are just such a treat!

Now, Hamilton Beach has released a new appliance that will let anyone enjoy customized breakfast sandwiches that are quicker, cheaper and healthier than anything at a fast food restaurant. The new Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker prepares hot and fresh breakfast sandwiches in just five minutes and I was so excited when I received one of the new Breakfast Sandwich Makers to test out.
