Being a family travel writer for Canadian Family means that we get to visit some pretty awesome places. We’ve created so many memories this summer that it’s hard to choose a favourite, but ask my kids and Horseshoe Resort would be at the top of their list. We spent an amazing couple of days checking out…
Ontario Chiropractic Association giveaway
Do you remember the massages you used to get before you had kids? Those leisurely Swedish ones that involved gentle caresses designed to soothe the stresses of your overworked shoulders? Ahhhh… And then — children. At least the kind that come into your life the way of labour and back-breaking delivery. I had a taste…
Take a load off with OxiClean (sponsored post)
Although most of my clothes-washing is done with detergents that fall on the “crunchy” scale, there’s one brand that’s been in my laundry arsenal for years: OxiClean. We’ve found that Baby OxiClean is able to get out stains like no other product. I tend to save all of my stain-ridden clothing until there’s a massive…
Belly Bandit, B.D.A. & Mother Tucker
Remember when you first heard the word “girdle”? It sounded so old, constrictive and…ich. Thankfully, the People Who Do Marketing came up with the terms “shapewear” and “compression garments” and those of us who have a pound or two more than we should, post-partum mommies and anyone who has a couple of body bumps they…
Canada’s Wonderland
The first memory I have of Canada’s Wonderland is being there in pastel purple shorts with suspenders that buttoned onto them; I was missing one front tooth. It was 1981 and the park had just opened. My cousins were visiting from out of town and we took them there. I remember screaming like a baby…
Wordless Wednesday: Alice Through the Looking Glass
#OneNewThing from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (sponsored post)
Breast cancer has touched my life. I’m sure it’s touched yours, too, in some way. My aunt had a very tough battle with breast cancer several years ago. She bravely faced a double mastectomy and ended up with permanent alopecia from the cancer treatments. And she remains a beautiful woman, made more beautiful by her courage….
NuuNest app (guest review)

Schick Intuition Advanced Moisture women’s razor (mini-review)
THE PRODUCT The Schick Intuition Advanced Moisture razor for women, about $12 for the starter kit. THE GOOD I really appreciate that some razors, like the Schick Intuition Advanced Moisture and the Gillette Venus & Olay razor, now come with handy holders that attach to your shower wall with a suction cup. It makes getting them…
It’s a car-seat safety Twitter party! #CMRCarSeatSafety
As you know, I’m a sucker for baby gear. On top of that, though, I’m a stickler for safety. Car seats and car-seat safety is a hot-button topic and I’m a passionate advocate for extended rear-facing and keeping kids in a five-point harness as long as possible. (Just because they can move into a booster seat…
