Decorate for Halloween with Two Easy DIY Crafts and Earn Double RBC Reward Points at Home Depot

October 14, 2016 by Kathryn 16 Comments

Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays. I love the costumes, the decorations and the fun spooky spirit of the season. So I also love creating DIY décor for the yard to get everyone into the Halloween spirit! This year, we don’t have a whole lot of space to decorate since the front yard of our townhouse is fairly small. So with my RBC Rewards Credit Card in hand, I headed to The Home Depot Canada to stock up on supplies for a few easy decorations for small spaces…giant garbage bag spiders and glowing chicken wire ghosts!

With two times reward points for RBC Rewards Credit Card holders in Saskatchewan and Alberta on all purchases from The Home Depot Canada until the end of October, the timing was perfect for grabbing my supplies. I bought PVC pipe, elbow connecters, black spray paint, glow-in-the-dark spray paint and both one and two-inch chicken fencing. Then I added a cute plastic jack-o-lantern that plugged into the wall as a fun finishing touch! With my supplies in hand, it was time to get creative. [Read more…]

Get Your House Spic and Span with Cleaning Products from Libman-Giveaway

July 2, 2015 by Kathryn 178 Comments

In one month, I will be moving out of my childhood home forever, and I have to say that I feel terribly unprepared. Even though I’ve cleared out a lot of garbage, packed up a lot of treasures and sorted through a lot of clutter, there’s still so much to be done! And once all my belongings are cleared out, there’s the house to clean as well. Luckily, I recently received some handy new cleaning products from Libman that should help to make tidying up a little easier!

The Libman Company has been providing reliable and effective cleaning tools in the United States for over a century and the company’s products are now available at Home Depot Canada too. I received the Wonder Mop, Tornado Mop and Precision Angle Broom with Dustpan to review and with the entire house to clean, I couldn’t wait to put them to the test!

June 6, 2014 by Kathryn 326 Comments

Father’s Day is just over a week away and for a gift that Dad is sure to love, you can’t go wrong shopping at Home Depot! My own dad is a handy type and so even when I was younger, I knew that he’d appreciate some new tools to use around the house. And as an adult, I’ve come to trust in the quality of RYOBI whether I’m buying tools for myself or getting a gift for a loved one.

Home Depot has an incredible selection of tools from my favourite brand. In fact, just this week I was debating buying a RYOBI Trimmer for the back yard while I was picking up flooring at my local Home Depot. And if you’re still desperately searching for that perfect gift for the man in your life, you’re in luck because Home Depot is here to help!

Saving Money and the Environment with LED Lighting Options from Home Depot

March 3, 2014 by Kathryn 46 Comments

As of January, 2014, the Canadian government banned the manufacturing, importing and sale of incandescent light bulbs. The move was made in an attempt to create a more eco-friendly society, but it meant that I had to look at my lighting options and do some upgrading. Home Depot came to my rescue by offering me new lights for my house and I was excited to see if making the switch would have an impact on my house’s power bill. If there’s one thing that’s even better than making an eco-friendly change, it’s making one that saves me money too!

Our house currently had a mix of traditional incandescent light bulbs and CFL bulbs. I don’t like the high power usage of the standard incandescent, but I have to say I absolutely loathe CFL bulbs. They look ugly, they never seem to last as long as they claim, and they contain poisonous mercury. My boys have broken two or three CFL bulbs in the past and it’s always so scary trying to ensure that the bulb gets cleaned up properly.
