New Beginings, Old Faves + Kitchen Essentials from Amazon.ca

I am what you would call an ‘avid’ online shopper. With four kids, two jobs, and an endless to-do list you can bet your bottom dollar that if I am ordering as much online as I can. We’ve all seen the frazzled mother at the grocery store with 2 carts and a whole slew of children throwing random food into carts…I was that mother. So to prevent me from getting to that point I do the smart thing and shop online. Whether it is buying myself some new black yoga pants (these have hidden pockets), new Michael Kors tote, or…

Finding the Perfect Balance with RepHresh™

There is no way to dress up this post and make it pretty. It’s about yeast infections and how products from the RepHresh™ line can help keep them at bay.

Love, Marriage, Baby…and Life Insurance?

Love, Marriage, Baby…and Life Insurance?

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage. Plus, the car, the house, the RESPs, the RRSPs and all the bills that come with growing up and we’re officially adulting, right? I think most of us can agree that paying the bills for something that we have used, purchased or plan to use are a part of life.
