Turn Memories into Art with Canvas Factory-Giveaway

April 20, 2016 by Kathryn 135 Comments

One of my favourite things about a family vacation is looking through all the great pictures afterwords. While they all bring back special memories, there’s always one or two photos that seem to sum up the entire vacation for me. And there’s no better way to preserve the memories of a great vacation than by having one of those photos transformed into a beautiful piece of wall art!

Recently Canvas Factory gave me the chance to do just that with one of my recent photos, and I immediately started browsing through the pictures from our recent trip to Orlando to see which one I wanted to use. There were a few that I liked, but I eventually decided on a photo of my boys and their Nanny in front of the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was the boys’ first time in Disney World and I knew that was a moment I wanted to remember.

My boys and I have been lucky enough to enjoy some pretty amazing vacations together, and I absolutely love looking back at the pictures and remembering all the fun we’ve had. I’ve started a tradition of picking one favourite photo from each vacation and having it printed and framed to hang on the wall so that I can relive the memories every day.

Inspire Your Child and Make a Difference with Chooze Shoes-Giveaway

February 21, 2013 by Kathryn 94 Comments

My youngest son has been a bit of a footwear aficionado every since he was a baby. From the time he first learned how to put on his shoes, he loved picking out his own footwear for whatever outfit he was wearing that day and he had quite a few pairs to choose from. Now, at three, he’s not quite as picky about his footwear as he once was. But he still gets excited every time he gets a new pair of shoes!

So when Chooze Canada contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing the company’s innovative footwear, I requested a pair in Benjamin’s size so that he could enjoy a new pair of spring shoes. He couldn’t wait for his Chooze Shoes to arrive and when they finally did, he had them out of the box in no time.

Chooze Shoes are a unique new concept in children’s footwear. The sturdy canvas shoes are made with two different types of coordinating fabric so that each shoe is unique. It’s a way of celebrating the originality of every child and inspiring creativity and choice. But the Chooze Shoes difference doesn’t stop there! At the end of each year, Chooze Shoes invests its profits in anti-poverty programs that provide training, support and education to women to help permanently improve their quality of life. [Read more…]
