  • Best Buy and VIVA offer great deals on Kenneth Cole luggage

    •

    I love to travel, but I don’t love dealing with luggage. I have bought a lot of different suitcases over the last few years, and I’ve learned one thing… cheaper is not better. My first set was a major deal that I thought I just couldn’t pass up. The zipper…

  • Our new washroom is in the home stretch #DIY

    •

    It’s amazing what a coat of paint can do. If you remember how our bathroom looked a few weeks ago, you will know that it was just drywalled. Since then we sanded, primed and painted. The paint we chose was Behr Premium Plus Interior Satin Enamel. It paints on smoothly…

  • Home Decorating for Dummies?

    •

    This has been the year of changes and repairs in my house. We repainted a lot of the house, built a bathroom and we are making lists of what is going to happen next. I’m pretty good at choosing colours and flooring, but when it comes to decorating I get…

  • Choosing her first pair of glasses

    •

    Like I mentioned before, I started wearing glasses when I was around 11 years old and I had no idea that I had poor vision prior to that. This taught me that it is important to get regular eye exams, especially for children. I started taking my three youngest children…

  • Eye exams for children, because you don’t know what they can’t see

    •

    I was given my first pair of glasses when I was around 11 years old. I didn’t need a really strong prescription, but the difference in how clear things were with them on was amazing to me. I remember studying the leaves on the trees and the stars at night…

  • No Son, you may not play Call of Duty

    •

    Last night I went to bed and found a note on my pillow. It was a heartfelt note from my son asking permission to play M rated video games. For those of you who aren’t raising video game crazy kids, M stands for Mature and means the games are intended…

  • I’m adding Aruba to the Travel Bucket List

    •

    This post brought to you by Aruba Tourism Authority. All opinions are 100% mine. I’m always looking for a new place to visit, and I think I’ve found a great option: Aruba . When I think of Aruba, I immediately think of the beaches. I imagine sunbathing on beautiful sandy beaches…

  • My Fitness Journey

    •

    I was thin for the first thirty years of my life, and overweight for the last ten years. What I have never been is strong and fit. I used to equate being thin with being healthy, but that really isn’t the case. When I was thin I didn’t eat any…
