Dermatologists recommended daily essentials for our skin

We like using this Lipikar Huile replenishing cleansing oil because it is an anti-irritant body wash, which is free of colourant, alcohol, soap and paraben.  We like moistening our skin using this cleansing oil during a shower, as it lathers quickly and doesn't have a strong fragrance. We can also pour 2 to 3 capfuls into the bath, gently rinse and pat dry. 

I use this La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra cream for the face because the product does not have preservatives, paraben, fragrance or alcohol. This cream is used for intense soothing care, as it gives immediate and long lasting relief. I am sensitive to creams especially if it is for the face, so I avoid using creams that feel greasy or have a heavy texture. I like using this cream lightly once a day in the morning, as I don't feel greasy after applying the cream.

Smart, Sleek Brother Printer that will help our workspace

A survey done by Vision Critical and Brother Canada in April 2013 among a sample of 1000 randomly selected Canadian adults, that work from home has revealed style and appeal to be a top priority for the home office. I agree having a functional, productive, comfortable, stylish workspace environment is important to get the work done.

93% of people in the survey agreed having the right office equipment and technology is an important part of becoming productive.

HGTV host Samantha Plynn has commented that the sleek design of this Business Smart Inkjet all-in-one Brother Printer is stylish and would be perfect for a small modern home office, as it doesn't give up our workspace. I think having this type of printer from the Brother Business Smart Series helps us to get our work done in a productive, professional and efficient manner. 82% of Canadians who did the survey agreed that a printer is an important  piece of equipment to have in the home office.

Supporting a Good Cause with Ultimate Lovable Labels Camp Pack

I label all my children's belongings that they take to school and camp, so the items don't get lost. I have been using Lovable Labels to personalize my daughter's belongings for the past year and we really like them. My daughter had chosen this design and likes pasting these labels on her bags, clothing, shoes, utensils etc. Since our experience with the labels are positive, I thought these labels would also benefit my son who just started school this year. When I showed my son over 20 Lovable Label designs, he quickly chose the Dino-Myte design; after all he is a big dinosaur fan. I like their durable labels that withstand the dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer.

Digital books that children will enjoy learning from

On Beyond Bugs is an educational digital book about insects from The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library series. I recommend this fun, fact-filled app that will benefit our children.

Kidobi has pre-screened online educational and entertaining videos for our children

In this generation of information technology, many children spend more time in front of screens than on any other activity, while they are awake. We know children learn from what they watch, and while some content is safe and educational, other content that isn’t age-appropriate can be harmful for them.  It is important for us as parents to be aware of the type of content our children watch and provide them with a fun environment where they can use technology to learn and grow.

Edible tea party invitation from my children using their easy-bake oven

My daughter and son like pretend playing, and occasionally invite my husband and I to their pretend tea parties since they were little. When we join them, they get very excited.

For the first time during one of their tea parties, my husband and I were treated with milk and edible cookies my children made using their easy-bake oven. We enjoyed this party very much and loved how both our children were excited to make something special for us in their own little oven.
