The air is feeling crisp and cool these days and I'm itching for movie nights in front of the fireplace, a favourite Winter pastime at our house! We are pretty wimpy when it comes to cold and would hibernate in our cozy house all winter long if we could, but that luxury never, ever comes at the expense of our families safety! Did you know? Ontario recently made installing Carbon Monoxide alarms in homes a mandatory act. We have more than one in our house, just to be sure! Carbon Monoxide … [Read more...]

For awhile now I've been known as the girl with the big head. Who can blame them really, see me over there on the right? I love my cartoon bobblehead and the staff over at Things Engraved noticed it too. See, they are pretty fond of bobbleheads themselves and let me know that they could make that cartoon bobblehead picture come to life! Okay, yeah, I did question whether or not I needed a bobblehead doll of myself, but the fun of it all was simply too hard to pass up! When I jumped onto … [Read more...]

A floor cleaner that can vacuum up dirt AND steam clean my floors at the same time? Now that's impressive! It also seemed a little too good to be true and I'll admit, I was skeptical before I tried out the new BISSELL Symphony. As a busy mom to three boys and a chocolate lab, we had our share of dirty floors, but I wasn't sure one cleaner would be able to do the job of two. I was excited to put it to the test though, because being able to do two jobs at once is a huge time saver and … [Read more...]

When my husband and I moved into our house, it was 11 years ago and we were newly married. Life was sweet and we eagerly got started on our master bedroom. We picked a gold colour that looked bright and sunny during the day and soft and golden during the evening and painted the room as a team. It was an exciting time and we enjoyed transforming each room in our new home, to make it 'ours'. Fast forward to today and that same yellow paint is still on our walls, even though the … [Read more...]

Living in a house with three little boys, we've had our share of toilet problems due to too much paper in the toilet. It actually freaks the boys right out and it's not fun for anyone involved, so I was really interested to see how Majesta could help solve that problem! As a plumber, founder of Small Jobs Plumbing - the first female owned and operated plumbing company in Nova Scotia - and mother to an eight-year-old boy, nobody knows clogs better than Tammy Buchanan! And while you might not … [Read more...]
