There’s Still Time to Sponsor Me for #WalkForSickKids!
If you were thinking about sponsoring my walk in The Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure Walk to benefit SickKids Campaign and helping the Sick Kids raise their target of $2 million, there’s still time! 8 days remain before our big walk with the BLUNTmoms, and we could really use your help trying to make our goal. Even if…
What You Need to Know Before Buying an Older Home #RBCFirstHome
Buying our first home in 2002 was an interesting experience. As first-time buyers, my hubs and I knew squat about buying a house, much less about buying and renovating an older home. A much older home. The object of our focus was a 100-year-old double-walled brick home in downtown Hamilton, converted to a barely-legal duplex with shared utilities, home-run electrical…
Win Tickets to See #MonsterJam in Hamilton April 25-26! #HamOnt #CanWin (ends 4/16)
Everyone’s wound up for Easter to be here. Kidlet’s been bouncing off the walls, which is not especially helpful when I’ve been trying to clean and prep for the big day tomorrow (we have everyone over for Easter). So I admit, I may have (in a fit of exhaustion and over being equally sick of hearing…
3 Ways to Wrap Gifts (and Ditch the Dull Bag)
Somehow the Christmas Paper Wrapping Fairy missed me when she was handing out life skills, and I’ve been struggling into my adult years with trying to wrap a present beautifully correctly without making a disaster of the whole thing. A good wrapping job, for me, involves not having any of the underside of the paper…
Why I Don’t Always Feel Bad About Letting My Child Use a Tablet
Lest you think that I’m some sort of backwards Luddite, I assure you that in this household we have an average of 2.3 computing devices per person, not including gaming consoles and smartphones. And even so, I’m in favour of limited screentime for kids and have butted heads with my son’s schools more than once…
Win The Most Awesomest Adult Onesie PJs EVER #CampAndCabinCozy #Giveaway
I firmly believe that, to survive coexistence with one another, men and women need to have their separate spaces (and the kitchen does not count as the women’s space, by the way). I made the living room, fireplace and all, into my space. Hubs and I built a ginormous bookshelf that took up one wall….
Win Tickets to Disney Live! at Hamilton Place Theatre #DisneyLive
Disney’s coming back to town, and we’re so excited! I wanted to say a whole lot more about this show to pump everybody up, but honestly, I can’t. While I’ve been to the parks a lot over my 35 years of existence, I’ve actually never been to a Disney performance before. We’re going to rectify…
Caloric Cuvee Giveaway – Cause Plain Wine Glasses Are Boring (ends 11/15)
I have been a really busy slacker lately. I’ve owed my friend Renee a posting and a giveaway for her awesome glassware. Custom personal glassware is really in right now, and I have cousins on my husbands side who have people beating down their doors for hand-painted stemware. It’s kind of like your personal use…
