Swimming with Whale Sharks in Mexico – Don’t Get Out of the Water!

April 1, 2015 by Kathryn 46 Comments

It’s so easy to fly off to an exotic country like Mexico and spend the entire trip lounging on the beach or sipping cocktails by the pool. While I’m certainly a fan of that relaxing atmosphere myself, there’s a lot to be said for getting away from the hotel or resort and taking part in some of the unique activities the country has to offer. And for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience, there’s simply nothing better than swimming with whale sharks.

Yup, that’s me with the largest fish in the world!

Thanks to Viator, a company that specializes in helping travellers book the best and most original tours and excursions when travelling, I had the chance to take part in a whale shark diving experience with a group of bloggers from around the world, and I couldn’t have been more excited. The idea of actually swimming beside the largest fish in the world out in the open ocean seemed completely magical to me. But I couldn’t help being a little nervous too, especially when our guide started explaining the precautions we needed to take.

Clean from Floor to Ceiling with Ease with the Shark Rocket Vacuum

December 13, 2013 by Kathryn 54 Comments

There is nothing worse than having to drag around a big, hefty vacuum to clean carpets in a house. But having tried a few different vacuums over the years, I also know that lighter stick vacuums often don’t do more than sweep off surface dirt from a carpet. So if you’ve ever longed for a vacuum that has the light and portable design of a stick vacuum and the deep cleaning power of a full-sized vacuum, the Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Upright Vacuum is your dream come true!

This multi-functional upright is the ultimate floor-cleaning machine. It never loses suction and deep cleans as effectively as a top-of-the-line full size upright vacuum. But with the ability to use the vacuum as a handheld unit and the option of using it on both hard floors and carpet, it has enough versatility to make it an essential in any household.

Have Fun with New Animal Puppets from Cate and Levi

June 5, 2013 by Kathryn 2 Comments

shark puppetI absolutely adore the Cate and Levi handmade puppets made of reclaimed wool. Not only are the hand puppets an eco-friendly toy choice for young children, but they are also a unique and beautiful gift since every one is different. Recently, Cate and Levi expanded its collection of animal puppets and we received one of the new animals to review.

My youngest son, who is a huge fan of hand puppets, decided that he wanted the Shark puppet to review. I found the colourful shark rather adorable myself and when the puppet arrived, I was even more impressed. Benjamin fell in love with the shark as soon as I unwrapped it and for the rest of the day, he showed his new friend to everyone that we saw. [Read more…]
