Monday I had a surprise and very timely delivery of a box, jammed full of goodies from the Kellogg’s Canada new product line. I say the delivery was timely because, like many people, my New Year resolution was to eat healthier, be more active and lose a few pounds. So far I have been doing well, but lately the February blahs have set in and I'm in need of some motivation! … [Read more...]

You investigate and invariably one of the kids, the cat or the dog has an entire roll of toilet tissue unfurled on the bathroom floor...yeah, I've been there too! Have you ever stumbled across a product and thought to yourself...this is so simple and so practical, why didn't I think of it? Well, Control-n-Roll is one of those great … [Read more...]
Because of its harmful effect on the environment, we don't use salt on our driveway or steps. What we have been using is sand, although it provides some traction, it less than satisfactory, tracks through the foyer and foyer rugs and accumulates in the gardens and the lawns. … [Read more...]
We all have women in our lives who put everyone else first. You know who they are, they're always caring for the kids, husbands and friends, as well as, working, volunteering, looking after the home...etc, etc, before they even stop for one3.22222 second to consider themselves.

Use Your Words - A Writing Guide For Mothers by Kate Hopper introduces mothers to the craft of writing. That special moment, the one you know you will never forget, will someday be a fond but very distant memory. Time will have successfully ravished the edges and blurred it with other moments and memories, never again to be clearly captured. Photographs effectively portray an image or a moment frozen in time. What they do not do is capture the intense, absolute heart exploding joy of having … [Read more...]
Sadly, I am well aware that cats and kittens are sometimes euthanized because they don't use their litter box and they void and/or defecate in other places within the home.

I personally feel this is not a route I would ever take, however, I do understand how very problematic this could be, especially for families with young … [Read more...]

So, I was thrilled when Hylunia skin care sent me some samples of their product to review. … [Read more...]
