DISLAIMER: PC is a brand that the PR firm for whom I work represents; I often include its products on my blog because I’m stark raving mad for them! I am in no way obligated to do so and opinions are my own.
Not Yer Granny’s Granola (mini-review)
THE PRODUCT Not Yer Granny’s Granola homemade granola. THE GOOD Made in Canada (about an hour away from us, in Barrie, Ont.) by a couple who look like they’re having an awful lot of fun in this lifetime. Four ridiculously addictive flavours: Maple Me Happy, Pumpkin Pizzazz, Hello Orange and Javanola. And trust me, every…
Garden of Life mind/body rejuvenation challenge: update No. 3
Now that I’m half-way through my mind/body rejuvenation challenge (which you can read more about here, here and here), I have started to notice a bit of a plateau. The weight is no longer dripping off of me like it did the first few weeks and I’m not inching back into my old clothes as quickly….
Garden of Life mind/body rejuvenation challenge: update No. 2
I fell off the wagon this weekend. It happens, right? It started with divine French food full of delicious, fatty goodness on Saturday night and ended with a carb-and-grease overload at Boston Pizza on Sunday.

Wordless Wednesday: Wean Green glass containers
My post-Thanksgiving project: Garden of Life challenge
I’ve been doing a lot of work around the house – from our laundry reno to closet organization – and I’ve been working my buns off into the wee hours just about every night of the week to share information about different products for your family, like this super-fun assignment with Canadian Family. Unfortunately, that…
Healthier snacks from Puritan’s Pride (mini-review)
THE PRODUCTS Sensible Foods’ Crunch Dried Cherry Berry Snacks and Glenny’s Organic Brown Rice Marshmallow Treats (Chocolate). THE GOOD Both products are certified organic. The Marshmallow Treats contain nine whole grains in every bar, which is pretty impressive for something that’s so kid-friendly in terms of taste and presentation. You’ll be able to pronounce every ingredient, and you…
Mott’s Fruitsations + Veggie fruit snacks (sponsored post)
I’m working on a back-to-school post – about backpacks and shoes and pretty clothes for school photos – and all I can think about is food. Almost one year ago, I made my first school lunch. It was a novel feeling and I puffed up my chest in one of those I AM MOM, HEAR…
