My guest reviewer, Alaina, is a busy mom and co-founder of purple monster coupons. She told me that her family suffers from dry winter skin and eczema so I put her up to the challenge. I asked her to try out three different Spectro skin-care products and to let me know what she thought of them. […]
My BABY is going to be a Toddler! Cue the Tears…. #SearsMom
January is bitter-sweet for me. One year ago, January 27th, 2013 I welcomed my second son Ryan into this world. In just a few short weeks, he’ll be turning ONE! No longer a baby… but a toddler. Tears are rolling down my cheeks just writing that. For some reason, with my second son, it all […]
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 […]

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 […]
Is the violence in professional hockey impacting our kids?
I’ve written several posts about my son’s love of hockey. In fact, I’ve even compared him to Sidney Crosby. He’s obsessed with hockey in so many ways. He loves playing hockey in our basement, collecting hockey stickers, watching it on television and he even has dreams about hockey (we’ve heard him sleep talk about the […]
