Top Tips For Keeping Kids Entertained On A Shoestring Budget

March 22, 2018 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Keeping kids entertained at the best of times can be a struggle. With their interests changing and their concentration moving from one activity to another, ensuring that you have plenty on hand ready to keep them focused when it’s needed is a must – but what do you do when things are getting tough financially? While there may be a short term loan available if you find yourself in a financial emergency, keeping children entertained doesn’t have to be a costly affair. Here are a few top tips for keeping the kids entertained on a shoestring budget.

Make-Believe Games

A child’s imagination is their greatest tool and when things get boring, it can definitely make for some incredible entertainment. Of course, they tend to lose themselves in their own imaginations a lot of the time, no adult help needed. But when they want to spend time with you, the imaginative play doesn’t have to stop. Conquer kingdoms, fight dragons, play doctor or frankly anything that you or they can come up with. I promise you that they’ll love spending a bit of playtime with you no matter what adventure you’re embarking on. [Read more…]

Get FREE Coffee Now and Your Favourite All Day Breakfast Food at McDonald’s Canada

February 28, 2017 by Kathryn 23 Comments

It’s been just over a week now since the debut of the McDonald’s All Day Breakfast and I have to say that I couldn’t be enjoying it more. To me, the Sausage McMuffin is a perfect light lunch or snack, and now I can enjoy one any time I want! And personally, McDonald’s Hash Browns have always been my favourite side, so I’m pretty happy that I can now get one instead of fries or a salad with my meals at lunch or dinner! McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets with a Hash Brown for the win!

Now, this week, McDonald’s Canada is making a good thing even better with seven days of FREE coffee! Until Sunday, March 5, get a free small coffee any time of day, no purchase required! As a big fan of McDonald’s Premium Roast blend, I already get to enjoy free coffee fairly often thanks to the company’s coffee rewards. I just collect the stickers on my drinks to earn a free medium hot beverage after seven purchases. But that doesn’t mean I’m not excited about getting treated to free coffee this week too!

Get Kids Excited About Exploring Outside with the New Ecokeepers Program from EnviroKidz

September 16, 2016 by Kathryn 126 Comments

I’ve always felt that one of the best learning opportunities we can give our children is simply stepping outside and exploring the world around us. Growing up in a small town, my boys had many chances to learn about nature, walk the streets without fear and enjoy the exercise and education the outdoors has to offer. Now, living in a city, the options for outdoor play are a little more limited. And that means it’s time for me to get creative!

EnviroKidz, maker of delicious organic cereal and snacks for kids, is passionate about encouraging learning through outdoor exploration. And recently the company launched a new initiative to help inspire kids to learn about the earth: the Ecokeepers Program. The program is free for camps and schools and helps kids develop a connection to nature by combining outdoor activities with the fun of geocaching (searching for treasure boxes using GPS coordinates)! The Ecokeepers kits include Explorer Guides, parent literature, geocaches for kids to hide and the now peanut-free EnviroKidz Granola Bars for energy! Interested? Make sure to visit the Ecokeepers website for full program details and to apply! [Read more…]

Get the Best Rate on Your Mortgage, Insurance, Credit Cards and More with RateSupermarket.ca

September 1, 2016 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

So far, 2016 has been a year of change, adventure and fun at every turn. And those are all themes that are going to be continuing for the rest of the year too. With my upcoming wedding on October 1, a honeymoon in Ireland, a move to a new city later in October and the purchase of a new house, we’ll be busy every minute for quite a few months…and loving every minute of it!

Knowing we’ll need to purchase a house soon, I’m already starting to look into the many details involved in the process. From finding a good lawyer to draw up the paperwork to investigating the current prices in the markets we’re looking at, being prepared gives me the confidence that we’re making the best choice for our family’s future. And a big part of that process is making sure that we have the best mortgage available.
