Back to School Challenge #WalmartFrugalHeroes
I love a good challenge, so when Walmart Canada handed my family a $100 gift card and a challenge to stock up the pantry with all the back to school lunch essentials, it was game on! Shopping Tip #1 - leave the kids at home! They are a sure way to blow your budget, especially with three little boys asking for everything they want, but don't really need! This year my youngest starts his educational journey and begins Junior Kindergarten (sniff,,,sniff) so while we have three boys who will … [Read more...]
The Pocket Mommy
It's back-to-school time, and for people who have little ones just starting school (or even in elementary school who are nervous!)

In fact, we saw almost a 50/50 split of children visiting with parents and children visiting with grandparents. This is truly a place to bring the young and old together and we even overheard one set of grandparents telling the staff how they … [Read more...]
New from OXY! Emergency Acne Vanishing Treatment Wipes
Irony was hard at work last week when my nephew arrived at our doorstep to stay with us, so did a package of goodies from OXY. Perfect timing! OXY has been synonymous with teenage skin care for years, in fact as a teen I used OXY products many times myself. As a mom to all boys, I like that OXY isn't marketed to girls with pink potions and fluffy commercials. Boys need a healthy skin care routine as well, and OXY's black packaging makes a cool looking grab for boys! What's new at OXY?? NEW! … [Read more...]
