I’ve been on the lookout lately for interesting celebrity quotes to share, and I love this one from Jessica Biel in Hello Canada, when asked in what ways motherhood has changed her (she and husband Justin Timberlake are parents of two-year-old son Silas): I think becoming a mother has changed everything. When you […] Read more…
Sarah Richardson is no stranger to television. As a super-successful Canadian designer, she has been the host, co-creator and co-producer of eight HGTV series, including the brand-new Sarah Off The Grid, premiering Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV Canada. The six part series finds Sarah tackling her biggest challenge yet: an off-the-grid dream home […] Read more…
It’s back-to-school time, and parents and kids are abuzz with preparations: stocking up on school supplies, choosing new outfits, and even dreaming about Pinterest-perfect lunchboxes.

It’s not always easy to convince our loved ones to join us though…so if you’re anything like me, you have to go to a bag of persuasive tricks, whether for your kids or your significant other!

As the daughters of a blogger, my girls tend to get excited when parcels show up on our doorstep…because quite often it means they are going to be reviewing products! This time, however, I was excited too…because moms (and teachers!) also deserve some back-to-school goodies, and they arrived in a box from Canadian Tire! First […] Read more…

Research shows that more than half of younger Canadians experience at least one episode of low back pain by […] Read more…
I will admit: I rarely think to shop for kids’ clothes at sports stores. Running shoes, definitely. Clothing? Hasn’t really occurred to me.
