Back to School Shopping with Walmart

August 12, 2016 by Kathryn 25 Comments

The first day of school. It’s fun, exciting and most of all, a chance for my boys to show off their newest fashions! I love clothes and it’s a love that I’ve passed on to both of my boys. While they’re more than willing to show off the latest looks, they also want comfort for those active recess games they play with their friends. Luckily for me, Walmart has plenty of great clothing that feels as great as it looks!

Personally, I’m a huge fan of the Athletic Works line. Featuring soft, light and comfortable fabrics and exclusive DRI-MORE moisture-wicking technology, these clothes keep kids comfortable through everything from a quick game of tag in the morning to an hour-long game of soccer at lunch. So I headed to Walmart on a mission to find the best recess clothes for my two boys. And as usual, Walmart didn’t disappoint!

I started by looking for clothes for Benjamin, a boy that hates having clothing that’s constricting in any way, yet loves fun, fresh fashion he can show off to his friends. His outfit began with a simple pair of black Athletic Works track pants with a crisp white stripe to liven them up. He loved them because they have such light and comfortable fabric with a simple elastic waistband, while I liked their bold simplicity.

Make Easy Chicken with Mushroom Cream Sauce for Dinner and Eat

November 6, 2014 by Kathryn 38 Comments

I shop at Walmart for all kinds of things, from clothing to toys to furniture to electronics. But one of the sections of the store that’s impressed me more and more lately is the grocery section. I used to make a separate trip to a grocery store every time I went to Regina to shop, but lately I just haven’t needed to do that. I can get all the food my family needs at Walmart!

And that even includes fresh, Canadian protein choices like chicken, Angus beef, pork and salmon. Recently Walmart Canada sent me a gift card so that I could grab some fresh, delicious meat for my family and see for myself how delicious it is to eat fresh with Walmart. Of course, I was only too happy to oblige. [Read more…]

Believe it or not, summer is almost over and kids will soon be heading back to school. And this year, my youngest son will be in Kindergarten, which means both boys will be attending full days of school for the first time! While Benjamin will only attend every other day, having both boys in school all day is going to be a big change for me. But even with two long lists of school supplies to purchase, back-to-school won’t be too hard on my budget thanks to all the great deals currently available at Walmart Canada!

Recently I received a $50 gift card so that I could do some back to school shopping and see for myself what kind of deals the store is offering. And there are tons of them! From packages of Crayola crayons for just twenty-five cents to exercise books for just five cents, there are so many great deals that will have kids and parents both excited about heading back to school.

Raise Awareness for Clean Water and Join in the P&G #CleanWater Photo Challenge

July 18, 2014 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Clean water is something we often take for granted here in Canada, but considering a lack of clean water causes more deaths that AIDS and malaria combined in developing countries, we really should be thinking a lot more about how lucky we are to have safe water to drink. A few months ago I shared information about the partnership with P&G and Walmart Canada to provide one day of clean drinking water to developing countries for every P&G product sold in month of April, and even had the chance to interview Jason Priestley about his participation in the program.

Now, to help reach the goal of providing 25 billion litres of safe drinking water to others, P&G and Walmart are once again teaming up to support #cleanwater by providing one day of safe drinking water for every P&G product sold at Walmart Canada stores or at Walmart.ca between now and July 31, 2014. And P&G is celebrating the movement with a fun photo challenge that could win you some amazing prizes! [Read more…]

Do More Knowing Your Child is Safe with the Levana Oma Movement Monitor-Giveaway

May 19, 2014 by Kathryn

When I gave birth to my oldest son, I had my first experience with the sleepless nights I had heard so much about from other parents. But while part of that sleeplessness was a result of my newborn baby waking up to feed, another part of it was simple mother’s worry as I checked on my precious son to make sure that he was still safe and healthy. There is no sleep more peaceful than that of a newborn baby but every mother experiences that twinge of anxiety while her little one sleeps, and it was that anxiety that had me checking on my son over and over again while he slept to make sure he was still breathing as he slept so peacefully.

Now, Levana, a company that specializes in producing the very best baby monitors for today’s busy parents, has a solution to help a new mother breathe easier and do more knowing her baby is safe. The Oma Movement Monitor is designed to sense the regular rise and fall of a baby’s abdomen while sleeping and sound an alarm after fifteen seconds of no abdominal movement. It’s compact, easy to use and the perfect way to set a mother’s anxious mind at ease.

Give Back in April with the P&G #CleanWater Challenge-Giveaway #PGMom

April 15, 2014 by Kathryn 134 Comments

It’s amazing how easy it is to take clean water for granted when it’s something that has always been a part of our lives. Growing up in North America has given me the understanding that when I turn on a tap, I can drink the water that comes out without any concern. But I did a lot of travelling in my youth and I know from exploring places like Cuba and South Africa that clean water is a luxury in many parts of the world, not a right.

In fact, approximately one billion people do not have clean drinking water, many of whom are children in the developing world. As a result, thousands of children die every day. The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program helps provide clean drinking water to these people through a water purifying technology developed by P&G. One small P&G purification packet quickly turns 10 litres of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water. Nearly 7 billion litres of clean drinking water have been provided by humanitarian organizations across the globe using P&G packets, helping to save an estimated 39,000 lives in more than 75 countries.

This month, P&G is doing even more to ensure that clean water is available to those that need it by teaming up with Walmart Canada! Until April 30, P&G will donate one day of clean water through the Children’s Safe Drinking Water program for every P&G product sold in Walmart Canada stores or online at Walmart.ca! Just by shopping for the products you love and use anyways, you can help ensure that children in developing countries have fresh, clean drinking water. [Read more…]

Gearing Up for Spring with the Walmart Canada #GeorgeKids Quality Guarantee

March 28, 2014 by Kathryn 5 Comments

As a mother, there is absolutely nothing more frustrating to me than buying clothes for my boys only to have the clothes wear out while they still fit. Kids grow so fast that buying plenty of clothing is expected, but when I replace jeans and t-shirts, I want it to be because they’re too small, not because the fabric has ripped or worn through!

That’s why I was thrilled about taking part in the Walmart Canada George Kids challenge. With just $50 to spend, I was given the task of buying a spring outfit for each of my boys from the George Kids line. I was excited about the mission because George Kids offers amazing prices on kid’s clothes. But the best thing about George Kids clothing is its Quality Guarantee. If the clothing wears out before your kids outgrow it, Walmart will replace it free of charge! [Read more…]
