five things – beauty

Today I’m sharing my five things that moms need to put on a simple face quickly.  I just don’t feel ready for the day without at least these basics.  I tend to buy a mix of drug-store products for affordability along with some higher quality brands.   1 | I love this foundation.  I was [...]

Have you heard of the ‘Fancave’?

The old term may have been a ‘Mancave’ (and well, it would be in my house, if we had one) but Pro Am Sports knows from experience that some mamas are bigger sports fans than their hubby is, so it’s now the ‘Fancave’! Love sports or have a fan on your gift list this year?  [...]

wheeling with Heelys

My seven year old, Berlin, had been begging for these wheeled shoes every time we’d spot a child wearing them in the mall.  She was dying to try them. Heelys graciously sent me two pair to try recently, for both of my big girls.  I fit into Nya’s and give them a spin myself! Heelys [...]

Calling All New Moms

my sweet ride

I recently took a business trip to Edmonton and Honda Canada was generous enough to give me a car to drive while in the city.  They delivered an Acura RDX and I was excited to get out of my usual, a Honda Odyssey, and try out a smaller ride. While I’m not actively looking to [...]

inspired to plan a party

Our kids all have birthdays, every year!  While I love to daydream of throwing the most fabulous bash ever, I usually resort to a simple shindig or party at the local community centre so I don’t have to deal with a house-full.  However, that doesn’t stop me from spending days and weeks ogling over beautiful [...]

a little trip

I was recently asked to attend a day of learning in New Jersey, and to visit the Johnson & Johnson’s campus there. I did a bit of research before I travelled and found this story about how J&J had been called out for ‘known carcinogens’ in some of it’s baby products. So I put that in [...]
