Helly Hansen Women's Jackets for Cooler Weather

As the weather gets cooler, I like to wear layers. Depending on where I go the temperature is different, since some places have heaters turned on high, and the other places are much cooler. Due to this reason, I love wearing this lightweight, compact Helly Hansen Verglas Down Insulator. I love that it is compact because it can be folded and fits easily into a bag, which makes it perfect for winter travels.

Both the movie and series will roll out globally through 2017 on Disney Channels and Disney Junior channels. The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar will be on Disney Junior December 1st.

Block Play is Important for Child Development Win Your own Big Building Bag

When I speak with my friends who are parents that have young children, some say that they feel like they are running out of ideas to make playtime fun. In my opinion and practice with my own children, I believe for children to have fun and play it doesn't need to cost a lot of money or require tech gadgets. All we have to do is provide our children with good quality toys that encourages development such as building blocks, a clean safe space, and spend time interacting and playing with them.

Drink in the Box: Healthier, Safer and Better

I like having eco-friendly options that allow my family and I to make healthier, safer, and better choices. Drink in the Box allows us to make this choice! By using Drink in the Box, we can be environmentally conscious and enjoy fresh juice or milk. We can buy large containers of juice and fill this box or make delicious healthier juice at home, instead of buying individual packs of juice that fill landmines and adds extra expense.

Holiday Crafting with Washi Tape

As the holiday season and winter approaches, I get excited about doing crafts! I got a chance to check out Amy Anderson's Washi Tape Crafts: 110 Ways to Decorate Just About Anything book. This is a fabulous book for savvy crafters and non-crafters alike. I love that the book comes with ten rolls of tape (18 feet each) custom-designed patterns made especially for this book so we can get started on the 110 projects that are in this book!

Fusion Mineral Paint: Dresser Project

We are excited to be using the Fusion Mineral Paint to do a variety of projects! Fusion Mineral Paint is an innovative product that is easy to apply, self-leveling, and requires minimal prep work. We like how the end projects have a durable matte finish that lasts for a long time. There are 24 custom-blended colours that we can choose from, which are rich in colour, depth, and hue. The paint is perfect for any of our home décor projects small or large, inside or out. We chose three colours, Upper Canada green, Fort York red, and Champness blue to do a few projects that we are excited about.
