New Netflix Series’ for Kids Provide Action-Packed Summer Fun #StreamTeam

June 28, 2016 by Kathryn 1 Comment

As far as I’m concerned, summer should be all about having fun, from active days spent swimming, running and playing outside to lazy days relaxing indoors and watching a favourite show. Today is my boys’ last day of school for the year and I’m already anticipating all the fun we’re going to have over the next two months together!

As usual, part of that fun will include some family television time with Netflix! The company has so many fun exclusive shows for kids, including the brand new Voltron: Legendary Defender series! My space-loving boys were immediately caught up in the story of the five space explorers that discovered Voltron and then learned to control the massive weapon to defend the universe. As usual, DreamWorks has put together a thrill ride of adventure and laughs that the entire family will enjoy watching. [Read more…]

3 Easy Ways to Share Your Childhood with Your Kids #StreamTeam

February 22, 2016 by Kathryn 1 Comment

One of my favourite things about being a parent is getting to share some of my own childhood with my boys. From food to activities to television shows, it’s such a great feeling seeing my boys get excited about the same things that used to fill my heart with happiness at their age. Looking for ways to share a few special moments with your kids? These are my top three ways to let my kids see what I loved most as a child!

Grandma’s Special Dinners

When I was young, my mom had a few meals that were only made on special occasions. Her famous Shrimp Curry Crepes, luscious Spinach Lasagna, Chocolate Chip Meringues…we knew that our favourite dishes were pretty much only going to be served when we made a special request on our birthdays or other occasions. Now, I share those foods and memories with my boys by occasionally whipping up some of the same meals for our own dinners! And in a slight rebellion, I usually do it on an ordinary day instead of a special occasion…to make that ordinary day special! [Read more…]

Easy DIY Home Office Organization Makeover with HP

May 5, 2015 by Kathryn 403 Comments

Last week I shared an easy and fun kitchen organization project I created using nothing but my HP Stream 11 laptop, labels printed on my HP Envy 5530 printer and some cute mason jars.

I loved the way these simple labels not only helped me organize my kitchen but also added some personality to my décor! That’s why I decided to turn on my laptop once more and do a little more spring cleaning…this time in my home office!

My office has a tendency to get pretty disorganized, especially with all the papers and calendars I use, so my goal was to tidy it up while also making it a pretty and inspiring space.

I decided the first thing I would do is make my own file boxes by cutting old cereal boxes and covering them with fun printed paper. To keep with my spring theme, I found some flower images I liked, printed them out and then glued the pictures onto the boxes. A quick coat of spray varnish for durability and my file organizers were ready!

Ring in the Holidays with Festive New SodaStream Ocean Spray Flavours-Giveaway

November 21, 2013 by Kathryn 155 Comments

I love making tasty, healthier sparkling beverages with my Soda Stream machine and because I have it, I don’t buy soda very often. There’s just no need when I can enjoy all different types of beverages right at home that taste better and have less sugar than anything I can buy in a store. Now, SodaStream has introduced a brand new set of cranberry flavours from Ocean Spray just in time for the holidays!

Make Quick and Customizable Holiday Beverages with Soda Stream

December 20, 2012 by Kathryn 3 Comments

I am really not a fan of soda. I dislike it not only because it’s full of sugar and caffeine, but also because it results in the production of a large number of wasteful plastic bottles. And while I don’t mind drinking soda water, I find myself getting annoyed by the idea that I’m basically paying for carbonation. That’s why the idea of a Soda Stream system always intrigued me. Recently I got to test out the Soda Stream Genesis Starter Kit and I couldn’t wait to see how it worked.

soda stream genesis starter kitThe Soda Stream has been offering an eco-friendly alternative to store-bought soda for the last decade. My initial thought about the device was that while it did eliminate the wasteful plastic bottles, using it would still mean I was giving my kids a drink that wasn’t especially healthy when using the machine to make soda. So I was thrilled to learn that Soda Stream syrups contain less sugar and caffeine than store-bought soda brands. And the system even offers flavourings for water that are completely free of calories and sugar! [Read more…]
