The LeapFrog #LeapTV is a Holiday Gift that Gets Kids Moving and Learning #LeapFrogMomSquad

November 20, 2015 by Kathryn 7 Comments

My boys love gaming systems and while I understand the appeal (I’m a bit of a gamer myself), I don’t like how long they sometimes spend sitting and staring blankly at the television. As for the games themselves, some have cleverly incorporated educational content into the games, but others provide almost no intellectual benefit. So what’s a mom with two game-crazy kids to do?

Turn to the LeapFrog LeapTV, of course! My boys have had LeapFrog hand-held gaming systems for years now and I’ve seen for myself how effectively the systems combine fun and learning. Now, LeapTV is taking the benefits one step further with a gaming system that’s designed to get kids moving as they play and learn!

Painting Jobs are Easier with the Roll & Stow System-Giveaway

November 18, 2014 by Kathryn 101 Comments

If there’s one thing I’ve gained a lot of experience with in the last few years, it’s home renovations. And painting always seems to be a big part of that. Since buying the house in which I was raised, almost every room has been renovated and painted. The kitchen, bathroom, living room and both boys’ bedrooms are now clean and modern with fresh paint and new flooring.

Having done so much work on the house, I know how messy and frustrating painting can be. In fact, I painted the entire living room by myself and it was a job that took days to complete. The results were fantastic, but there was a lot of mess to clean up afterwards. I couldn’t help but think there had to be a better way and luckily for me, now there is: the Roll & Stow!

It’s Easy to Travel with Baby with the Evenflo JourneyLite Select Travel System-Giveaway

December 30, 2013 by Kathryn 166 Comments

Earlier this year I had to check out the fabulous JourneyLite Select travel system from Evenflo. This travel system has so many great features for parents and their infants and the top one for me was its lightweight design. I still remember how unpleasant it was to tote around the heavy infant car seat that I had for my boys. And the stroller I used was just as bad. My stroller had lots of great features I loved, but folding it up and carrying it around when travelling was horrible!

Evenflo understands that lighter is better when it comes to the baby gear of an on-the-go mom and that’s why the company designed the JourneyLite Select Travel System to be as lightweight as possible for easy transport and maneuvering. But even though the travel system is built to be lightweight, it still boasts great durability and all the features I love such as a multi-position reclining stroller seat and a large canopy and storage bin on the stroller.

Maximize Your Closet’s Potential with the New Rubbermaid Closet Helper System

May 16, 2013 by Kathryn 13 Comments

I think every woman dreams of that huge closet with neat rows of hangers, perfectly positioned shelves and every item of clothing in place. But the reality is that most household closets have a single hang bar and a single shelf above it. Definitely not the best way to maximize space for most people, but who has the time to fully renovate their closet?

That’s why Rubbermaid created the Closet Helper system. This unique tool-free system makes maximizing closet space quick and easy so that anyone can get the organized closet of their dreams! I recently received the Rubbermaid Closet Helper Max Add-On to review and I couldn’t wait to check it out.

Brew Up Your Favourite Beverage Any Time with a Keurig Brewing System from Staples

May 13, 2013 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I love coffee but since I’m the only one in the house that drinks it, I often find myself miscalculating how much I want and then wasting coffee as a result when I make a pot. I have a specialty coffee maker that’s great for creating individual lattes and cappuccinos, but what I really wanted was a way to make a single cup of good coffee so I could have one when I wanted without wasting.

Recently, Staples Canada came to my rescue by giving me the chance to review the Keurig Elite Single Serve Brewing System. This single-serve coffee maker brews a variety of tasty beverages ranging from coffee to tea to hot chocolate. I was excited to see how it compared to my other machines and I had it filled and ready to use within an hour of receiving it.
