Completion of Our #KitchenReno and Painting with Para Paints

I am glad we completed our mostly DIY #KitchenReno project. We fixed the vent, tiled the floor, transformed the cabinets with Rust-Oleum, organized the drawers in the kitchen with Rev-A-Shelf, installed the Delta Touch2O Technology Faucet, and chose quartz for the countertops. I chose the coin silver grey from Para paints for the kitchen wall, and two different shades of white for the ceiling and trims.

Lipikar Supports Children and Families Contest, Coupons and Giveaway

My son’s doctor introduced me to Lipikar Baume AP+ when he was an infant with eczema. We tried many lotions before trying Lipikar, and for all of the other lotions he reacted with redness on his skin, prickly heat like tendencies, and itchy skin. From the time we started using Lipikar Baume AP+ a few years ago, we had to continually use it despite the season. We applied the cream generously everyday to avoid the eczema from coming back. If we neglect to put it on thinking it is all gone, then it would come back, so we have been using it consistently.

Win Your Own HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower


We love this Hotel Spa Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower. There are seven luxurious settings. We can use it either as an Overhead or Handheld shower. I like the lightweight, extra-large 4.25" chrome face of this hand shower. The 7 Settings include Power Rain, Pulsating Massage, Hydrating Mist, Mist/Massage, Rain/Mist and Water-saving Economy Rain and Pause modes. There is also a 3-zone Precision SpiralFlo Dial with Rub-clean Jets and Click-action Lever. 

Ask Questions from Experts at the #RBCFirstHome Chat

When buying a new home, we all have lots of questions. During this process, asking experts before making final decisions are helpful. I am glad that there will be a #RBCFirstHome chat on February 17th from 8:30 pm to 9:30pm ET where RBC has invited a Lawyer, Realtor, Design, Home Builders, Home Experts and Mortgage experts to help answer our questions.

Loving and Finding Our Own Paths

I encourage my children to forge their own paths. I think it is important for me as a parent to have an open mind and give lots of exposure to life experiences. I think it is also important for me to teach my children my values and beliefs, so they are aware of it when they make their own choices.

Touch2O Technology in Our Kitchen

We trust Delta products and love the ease of installing their accessories, hand shower, and the Touch2O Technology faucet. Our experience with the fabulous Touch2O Technology in our bathroom geared us towards the same type of luxury in the kitchen when we were planning on our #KitchenReno. Once you get used to the features of the Touch2O Technology, I am sure you too will not be able to think of any other type of faucet.

Bring Home the Comic Adventure Big Hero 6

We loved watching Big Hero 6 in the theatre, and we are super excited that this Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” will be on Blu-ray and DVD February 24th. Disney's “Big Hero 6” introduces us to Baymax, a lovable robot who will change the world. Baymax (voice of Scott Adsit) and Hiro Hamada (voice of Ryan Potter) will make our heart soar as they learn about teamwork and becoming more than you thought you could be in this in a comic adventure, which is fun for the whole family.

Cool Things You Can Buy and Sell on UsedEverywhere.com

I have items from my childhood that I am not sure I am ready to part with. I have saved them because they carry sentiments, however sometimes it is hard to save everything I want because I do not like clutter! I remember the days when there were garage sales in the neighbourhood, and nowadays with the fast paced digital driven world we seldom see this.
