The start of a new year is always so much fun. It’s a time to plan new adventures, set new goals…and maybe even find a great new show to binge-watch together with the family! If you’ve been on the hunt for some entertainment that kids of all ages will enjoy, look no further than the newest Netflix exclusive, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events!

This darkly humorous rendition of the popular children’s books stars Neil Patrick Harris as the evil Count Olaf and will have school-aged kids booing the villain as they cheer for adorable orphans Klaus, Violet and Sunny. I was impressed by just how well this series was able to offer entertainment suited to both kids and adults. Even if you don’t have kids at home, you’ll want to check it out! [Read more…]

Come Join the #ThisLifeCBC Twitter Chat on December 7 at 9pm EST

December 4, 2015 by Kathryn 3 Comments

It takes a lot for a TV show to impress me. I tend to have a want-it-all attitude when I watch any show; I want to laugh, I want to be touched, I want to connect emotionally with the characters…needless to say, there aren’t many programs that can manage to satisfy my desires! But CBC’s new series This Life has had me hooked since the very first episode, and I know I’m not alone.

The series follows the story of Natalie, a single mother whose terminal cancer diagnosis turns her family’s lives upside down. While her journey and struggle are the focus of the series, the adventures of her siblings, parents and teenage children all provide their own substance and development to the story. It’s impossible to watch an episode and not feel your heart aching for the characters, even as you’re sometimes laughing along too. [Read more…]

October is Fire Prevention Month and it’s such an important time to make sure that your family is protected and prepared in case of a fire. It’s no secret to most people that having working fire alarms in the home is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your family’s safety in an emergency, but many people still tend to forget to check those alarms regularly and replace them periodically when needed.

First Alert, Canada’s most trusted and recognized fire safety brand, wants to ensure that Canadian families stay safe all year, and this month First Alert is making that even easier with the release of the new First Alert ATOM Smoke Alarm this month. The alarm uses micro technology to provide maximum protection in a small and sleek design. In fact, the ATOM Smoke Alarm is no bigger than a votive candle, which means it’s the perfect alarm for discreetly protecting your stylish home without spoiling the look of your décor!

Get a Salon Quality Look at Home with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series-Giveaway

February 23, 2013 by Kathryn 150 Comments

When it comes to beauty, I am pretty darn good at creating great makeup looks, but I’m utterly hopeless with my hair. It’s straight and thick so I have trouble finding styles that last and since I’m usually rushing around with my boys anyways, my hair spends a lot of time in a ponytail. But I do want my hair to look healthy and luxurious even if I’m just wearing it down straight or pulling it into a quick bun, so having high-quality hair products that nourish my hair is important to me.

Insight Editions The Essential Supernatural is a Must-Have Book for Fans of the Series

January 22, 2013 by Kathryn 7 Comments

I don’t watch very much television but there are one or two series that I absolutely love and one of my very favourites is Supernatural. Watching Sam and Dean Winchester battle ghosts, demons and monsters in their never-ending quest to save the world is my guilty pleasure and one I’ve been enjoying for over five years now. Recently I received a press release about a new book from Insight Editions called The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester and I knew at a glance that I wanted that book.

essential supernatural bookInsight Editions very kindly sent me the book to review and I was so excited to flip through it and see what it was like. Within a few pages, I was captivated. This book is so much more than just a recounting of the last seven seasons of my favourite television show. With recaps of each season, character profiles and behind-the-scenes information about the making of the show, it has all kinds of little goodies that fans can recognize and appreciate.

While the gorgeous full colour pages of the book were appealing on their own, it was the multimedia layout of the book that was especially intriguing to me. From a hunter’s manual sewn into the center binding to documents tucked into an envelope at the back of the book to the classic pine tree air freshener that is always hanging from the mirror of the Winchester brothers’ beloved Impala, the fact that the book went beyond text made it all the more enjoyable to read. I found the section of the book dealing on the graphic art of the show to be especially interesting, so having little extras like stickers and postcards featuring some of the specially-created brands and settings from the series was so cool.
