I’m a mommy of two boys who love to play in the dirt and at the beach. My five year old son is particularly interested in all things gardening. He helps me plant flowers and vegetables. My little guy, who is turning two this month, loves to play in the sand, be it in our sand table or at the beach. I was lucky enough to be given the chance to review Green Toys Watering Can and Green Toys Dig & Discover Set. When the toys arrived at our home, my boys immediately wanted … [Read more...]

I have a confession, I do not have a green thumb. It's true. Not even a light shade of green. But it doesn't stop me from trying. Hubs and I had been talking one night about how we just love fresh herbs and wouldn't it be nice to have access to those fresh herbs whenever we liked. Knowing about this thumb of mine, we didn't even entertain the thought of starting an herb garden, but all that changed when I opened my inbox a couple days later and saw an invitation from Pefferlaw to try out … [Read more...]

The gardens on the other hand were glorious! I am a HUGE fan of Spring flowers and we had bulbs a plenty! Tons of tulips graced … [Read more...]

Partnering up with Ethel Gloves couldn't have come at a better time. My old gloves for the garden had large holes and had seen way better days. I not only wanted a new pair, but needed something new that could protect my hands and look a whole lot better. Ethel Gloves can be defined in 3 words: Fashion, Function & Protection. FASHION: These are not your husband's workgloves. These are made for women! They come in an array of stylish colours and designs that make it hard to choose … [Read more...]

Remember Hairy? who was actually bald when you met him! You can read my post on how to make him here. I've been meaning to post some shots of his new 'do for ya.

We've had a chance to cut their hair twice now and they are due for another any day. Middle Man took a real liking to them one day and started to carry them … [Read more...]
