Whether you can afford to spend a little or a lot, the only gift-giving rule for Mother’s Day is that you put a little thought into mom’s prezzie. Trust me — she doesn’t care if a diamond tennis bracelet appears wrapped up in a little blue box (though I doubt she’d turn it away…). She cares…
Special occasions call for Impressa (sponsored post)
Picture it: you’re at the beach wearing your cutest bathingsuit when your pollen-sensitive sniffer catches wind of something that makes you erupt in sneezes that come out in such quick succession and with such force it’s shocking they aren’t little ninja throwing stars. One sneeze, you can manage. But three? Four? Crossing your legs — even if…
Hasbro’s #DreamBigPrincess Princess-A-Month: Rapunzel
Once upon a time, Hasbro came to me and asked if Miss Q would like to participate in its Princess A Month campaign for the balance of 2016. It meant that every month, from April to December, Miss Q would receive a themed “princess package.” My kids are spoiled already, folks. Madly spoiled. Miss Q doesn’t…
phil & ted’s Dash stroller
The first stroller we ever owned, way back in 2008 when The K Man was born, was a phil & ted’s. Back then, I think there was only one model. It was what many of my friends had and suited our needs well enough but its rear axel posed problems for Big B and his long stride;…
Ste. Anne’s Skin Nourishment skin care
For anyone who’s had a Ste. Anne’s Spa facial, you know your skin ends up feeling like velvet for days. Unfortunately, unless you live close enough to make driving or taking the train to Ste. Anne’s doable, chances are you may never get to experience a luxurious facial at the spa itself. The good news…
The Breakup That Landed my Family at Pearle Vision (sponsored post)
I’ve been going to the same optician for 10 years. The problem is that 10 years ago, I lived in Toronto. Now, I live nearly an hour east of the city — and that’s without traffic. I love wearing glasses, but I don’t typically love the eye exams required to get them. In my experience, they’re…
UPPAbaby MESA infant car seat (guest review)
My name is Ashley and I live in Courtice, Ontario. My husband and I just welcomed our first child to the world — a beautiful baby girl who is our pride and joy. We are truly blessed. She is a very happy little girl who only fusses when extremely tired; other than that, she’ll let…
Souris Mini spring summer 2016 collection
Although it kills me to see my littles grow out of their clothes, because it means they’re getting bigger faster than I’d like, it does mean that I get to go shopping. And we all know how much I heart shopping, right? I also love checking out new brands, and was thrilled when Souris Mini —…
Wintering at Hockley Valley Resort
Our winter lovin’ continued this past weekend with a jaunt to Hockley Valley Resort, which is in a town called Mono in Ontario. (Yes, like mononucleosis but way, way better.) About an hour north of Toronto, Hockley Valley is one of those weekend retreats you hear about growing up in the GTA. I don’t know what…
Free winter activities & deals at Mont-Tremblant
Well, the time has come. The time has come to write my last Tremblant post of the 2016 ski season. And it’s a sad moment. For me, anyway. Because this is the place that turned winter around for me. It’s because of Tremblant that I’ve welcomed this year’s snowfall. It’s because of Tremblant that my…
