Earlier this spring my husband and I whipped up our first batch of wings from scratch when we made Tandoori Chicken Wings. We vowed this was the way to go and we've been trying out new and delicious flavours ever since. Our newest creation? Sweet Mango Barbecue Chicken Wings! YUM!!!! I love a saucy wing! The wings were barbecued to perfection with a crispy skin and juicy meat, and this Sweet Mango Barbecue sauce really topped it off creating that sticky … [Read more...]

And just when I was starting to think 40 sounded old, Proctor and Gamble announces they are celebrating 100 years in Canada! That's a pretty great milestone! It all started in 1915 when P&G became incorporated in Canada and started out with employing 75 workers. Today, almost 5 billion times a day, P&G brands touch the lives of people around the world. And P&G people work to make sure those brands live up to their promise to make everyday life just a little bit better, now and … [Read more...]

I remember the days when my son used to cry when it was time to come inside. He could spend hours on the swings or digging in the sandbox, and there would be full on tears when we suggested it was time to head indoors. But as time went on and my boys got older, it became harder and harder to get them to go outside, so it's no surprise to me that nine out of ten children don’t get enough exercise each day. Canadian Tire is committed to changing this epidemic of inactivity this summer! The … [Read more...]

When BFF, Jenn (MomVsTheBoys) ask me to literally take the Trudeau Salad Spinner and accessories for a spin; I was more than thrilled! I fell in love with the look of Trudeau when she first posted her chocolate chip muffin recipe using the Trudeau muffin pan. It's bright colour was such a nice change to the metallic look of the standard pans - I'm a sucker for bright colours. When she dropped off the spinner and I saw bright green, I was instantly happy! Cooking should be fun and … [Read more...]

I went through a lot of changes when I became a mom, sure, we all do right? Stretch marks, chronic fatique, never peeing alone....so many changes. But for me, once I had my first child, I suddenly morphed into someone extremely frugal! The days of using up my disposable income at the mall or beauty counter were long gone and so were the days of receiving a biweekly paycheque. I didn't like going from independent and working for my own money, to stay at home mom on a maternity leave wage income … [Read more...]
