When my husband found out he had heart and other health issues last November, we very quickly reassessed our lifestyle so we could make the necessary changes to help him and the rest of us live better. We weren’t doing terribly badly. Exercise was one thing that was missing in a huge way and I […]

George’s Cream Review & Giveaway
I have to admit that I tend to stick with the creams I know and don’t venture into unknown territory all that much. However, I am also a HUGE supporter of all things Canadian and am happy to try and talk about Canadian products. George’s Creams are one of those. The first thing that I […]
Zoobles for Nintendo DS
When we first spotted the ads for Zoobles on TV, we all said ‘aaah Bakugan for girls!’ This made my daughter happy. She was even happier when she received her first Zooble as a McDonalds toy (ah marketing!). When I told her there was a Zoobles game available to check out for Nintendo […]
Have you Driven a Ford Lately?
I haven’t. Not in a while anyway. Our car before the Chrysler was a Ford Focus Wagon. We bought that due to it working well for a growing family (1 to 2), and was a quick buy after my husbands dear and beloved Honda Civic was trashed while I was the driver. Granted THAT wasn’t […]
Chariot Carriers are the Bomb

I will be TOTALLY honest here….I am not a jogger or a biker…but my kids bike a lot and as […]
Halo SleepSack Swaddle Blanket

Join the Tassimo Club!
My awareness grew of this strange thing called a ‘Tassimo’ as more and more people tweeted about it. “What is this strange thing that people are all a twitter about?” I thought. More and more people were reviewing them, winning them, getting them. As a staunch PLAIN coffee drinker (lattes are as exotic as […]
Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate!
My daughter was HUGELY thrilled when I told her we had been given tickets to see Disney on Ice: Let’s Celebrate on the opening night of their Vancouver run. The show runs to November 28th at the Pacific Coliseum and then out at Abbotsford from December 3 to the 5th. My son (8) was not […]
Milk That Can Last All Day!
When we decided to visit the Greater Vancouver Zoo yesterday, I packed a wack of snacks, including juice boxes and a couple of ‘special’ boxes too… Getting Milk in the mail was cool for the kids. The children in this family are milk junkies so discovering ‘milk-to-go’ was most awesome for them. Now I grew […]
