The saying goes that good things come in small packages. This was definitely true when Big B proposed and when we picked up the key to our first home. For women who live with light to moderate bladder leakage, Poise® Impressa delivers big protection in a very small, discreet package. And it’s what you can’t…
Jurassic Park in Concert
Imagine watching a movie, known for its iconic musical score, in a theatre setting — with a full orchestra. That’s exactly what’s happening when Jurassic Park in Concert comes to the SONY Centre for the Performing Arts on December 28 and 29, 2017. Tickets range from $49 to $99 apiece, but you and three guests can join…
How to pack using only carry-on bags
I haven’t always been a master packer. When I was 24 and moved to the UK, I took so much luggage that I had (a lot of) trouble carrying it all by myself from one airport to the next. As a “backpacker” for the next three years, I quickly learned how to pack using only…

My favourite beauty products of 2017
OK, OK — the title is a little misleading. Many of these products are ones I’ve been using for much longer than the last year. In fact, I’ve been using one in particular (the eye cream) on and off since I was 22 — also known as two decades. But since I wrote a fave…
Casper Mattress review
Until about three months ago, we’d slept in a California king-sized bed for close to 14 years. When we decided to switch to a king, it was a dream to partner with the best bed-in-a-box company to write this Casper mattress review. The brand had everything we needed — right down to the bed frame…
Master bedroom makeover on a budget
When we decided to move from a California king-sized mattress to a standard king Casper Mattress, we took the opportunity to redo our master bedroom. But I didn’t want to spend upwards of $10,000 — which isn’t even a little bit hard to do these days to totally outfit a single room from start to finish….
The importance of anti-cyberbullying tools (sponsored post)
Can we talk about bullying for a minute? Like, real bullying. Not kids being mean or rude or mildly inappropriate — which, don’t get me wrong, all SUCK. I’m talking about the kind of behaviour that systematically breaks down someone’s very being and leads to serious and sometimes long-term anxiety, depression, social isolation, substance abuse….
How lemonade turned into Lemon Aid (sponsored post)
I have been able to do some fantastic things for others thanks to this blog. From donating baby gear to those in need to providing dozens of holiday gift donations every year to giving away thousands of dollars’ worth of products month after month — it has been a philanthropic dynamo. So when Sunlight dish…
Which PlanetBox should I choose?
We have been ardent fans of PlanetBox for three years now. And while the initial investment might make some parents take pause, we are living proof that even kids who are hard on their lunch boxes can’t ruin a PlanetBox. There are three different versions of the PlanetBox and a series of accessories — and…
