Create a New Best Friend with an Amazing Promotion from Build-a-Bear Workshop on National Teddy Bear Day-Giveaway

September 6, 2017 by Kathryn 112 Comments

My boys have always loved their special stuffed animal friends. From the giant duck my middle child found at a second-hand shop to the tiny husky puppy my oldest has had since he was a baby, their stuffies have been there through the years to cuddle them when they’re sad, talk to them when they’re angry and help them feel secure when they’re scared.

But there’s no stuffed animal friend quite as special as one that you make yourself. And that’s why Build-a-Bear Workshop has long been a favourite destination for children of all ages in search of an extra special new best friend.

Celebrate International Women’s Day with 4 Inspiring Documentaries from Netflix

March 21, 2017 by Kathryn 15 Comments

As the only women in a house full of males, I often think about how lucky I am to have a husband that truly understands the importance of feminism, and I also wonder how I can best teach my boys that same respect for women. Since International Women’s Day just passed, finding ways to celebrate how far we’ve come in forwarding women’s rights and investigating what we can do better is on the forefront of many people’s minds. If you’re looking for some inspiration, these four documentaries on Netflix are a great place to start!

Miss Representation

I had the chance to see an exclusive premier of this movie when it first debuted and it has a powerful message about the destructive representation of women by the entertainment and media industries. Seeing the way that the media’s portrayal of women influences the way women are perceived by society had me inspired to find ways to change the narrative and ensure women are seen as the strong, complex and unique individuals they truly are.

Stock Up on Children’s Clothing at the Souris Mini Boxing Day Sale

December 25, 2015 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

I’m a bit of a fashion lover and to my delight, both my boys have inherited that trait from me. But actually shopping for clothes just isn’t much fun for me or the kids. Dragging them through a crowded store to try on shirts and pants isn’t something any of us get excited about. Luckily, online boutiques mean that shopping can be a pleasure instead of a pain!

Souris Mini, a Quebec-based children’s clothing boutique, had everything I wanted in a kid’s clothing store. The selection was fabulous. The sizes were ideal for my boys. The fashions were trendy. And the prices were reasonable. Personally, the cuddly Nordic pajamas were a favourite with me, so both boys now have a pair on the way! [Read more…]

Maple Leaf Cupcakes Make an Easy and Delicious Canada Day Treat

June 29, 2015 by Kathryn 41 Comments

I love cooking up special treats for special occasions, and with Canada Day coming up so quickly, I couldn’t resist making something tasty to celebrate our country! The Kraft Canada website is always a go-to resource for me when I want delicious Canada Day recipes and its Jell-O based Flag Cake is a treat I’ve made many years in the past. But this year I decided to switch things up a bit and make cupcakes instead! To keep with the theme, I used Red Velvet cake mix and a tasty cream cheese frosting.

Treat Dad to a Perfect Shave on Father’s Day with a Crabtree & Evelyn Gift Set-Giveaway

June 18, 2015 by Kathryn 176 Comments

If there’s one thing that almost any man can use, it’s good shaving products. And with Father’s Day coming up this weekend, Crabtree & Evelyn has some fabulous products to help you give Dad a gift he’ll love. The company sent me the Crabtree & Evelyn Duo Gift Set to check out and I knew at a glance that it would be the perfect gift for any guy that loves a clean shave.

I received the Indian Sandalwood Duo set to review and as with all Crabtree & Evelyn products, the gorgeous presentation was immediately appealing to me. The gift box contains Shave Cream, After Shave Balm and a vintage inspired tube key, perfect for getting a perfect shave every time. Even better, the set is available in either Indian Sandalwood, Moroccan Myrrh or the award-winning West Indian Lime scent! Since my man tends to favour classic, woodsy scents, Indian Sandalwood was my favourite choice!
