As a #KinderMom, one of the perks that I get to share with you is fun giveaways. Now that it’s November, it means it’s time to get ready for the holidays. So Kinder Canada has a holiday-themed giveaway that you do not want to miss out on. No matter what your holiday celebrations look like, […]
The time we forgot our clothes for our week-long vacation
“We did it!” I proudly exclaimed to my husband. Albeit, the term “we” is often used inappropriately in our home. The majority of the time (i.e. 99% of the time), it actually just means “I” or from my husband John’s point of view, “you” (as in me, Maya)….I digress. Miraculously, I managed to pack my […]
Worst Holiday Gifts.Think you can beat this list?
Christmas is just a few days away and while most of us have made a wishlist, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll actually receive gifts that we want. I know the worst gift I ever received was $100 cash for my birthday…from my HUSBAND! So there you go Rob Ford, not all women want cash […]
Raincoast Books; Children Books Giveaway (Canada)
While I love doing toy reviews, I think children book reviews top my list. There is something special about children books. Perhaps it is because my oldest son absolutely love books or it is the way kids seem to get lost in their imaginary world while reading or listening to a story. More importantly, it […]
Holiday Wish List in Pictures & Sears Contest; Win Up to $10K in Prizes #SearsMom
While the holidays are only a few short weeks away, gift planning actually started a few months ago at our house when the Sears Wish Book arrived at our door. While the Wish Book helps most people to get in the mindset for the holidays, it helped us figure out what to get my son […]
Boomerang Kids $100 Gift Card Giveaway (Canada)
The holidays are fast approaching (yikes) and if you have kids to buy for, I’m sure your list is never-ending. However, that might also mean that you’re spending more than you’d really like. While I believe in consumerism as a great driver of our economy, I also like to think of myself as a savvy […]

Hot Wheels Roto-Arm Revolution Giveaway (Canada) #UnwishList
Our house often resembels a mini ‘Toys R Us’… or at least a toy store where a hurricane recently went through. Luckily, we have tons of storage bins to put everything in for a quick clean-up. Not surprisingly in our house of boys, almost a third of the bins are filled with vehicles. This year, […]
The Holidays at Our House; Also Known as Chrismukkah #SearsMom
While my husband and I are raising our kids Jewish (I’m Jewish, John isn’t), things aren’t always so straight forward. That’s why when it comes to the winter holidays, we celebrate both! Hanukkah with my family and Christmas with John’s. Enter Christmukka (Christmas meets Hanukkah)! Basically, it’s the best of both worlds, especially for my […]
Hanukkah Arts and Crafts Activities In a Box
Tomorrow night we light the first light of the Hanukkia. This year, more than ever, I want to make Hanukkah extra special at our house. Mostly because my oldest son is three years old and he’s starting to understand the meaning of holidays and living in Canada, he’s surrounded with Christmas all around him. Unfortunately, […]
