Animals and Wildlife DK books and giveaway

We love Smithsonian guides because they are a well of knowledge. It is always interesting to read about and get to know the wonders of nature. The Smithsonian Animal book is updated and revised with photos and descriptions of over 2,000 species and habitats from around the world.

Fun Board Games to Encourage Learning

I believe playing board games with our children is a fun way for us to get involved in teaching lifelong skills such as problem solving, team playing, communication skills, and help in the development of cognitive thinking. It is so much easier to shop for these toys for children in all ages right from the comfort of our home through Amazon.ca.

Healthy School and After-School Snacks and Giveaway

I always plan on what healthy school snacks I can prepare at home, and keep it ready for my children to enjoy after school. I also try to make sure the snacks they have are nutritious. Although, I love to make a different snack everyday, our on-the-go schedules don't give me time for this. On these days, I love the convenience of having delicious Hans Dairy snacks in the fridge. The Indian style rice pudding, lassi, and yogurt from Hans Dairy is one of our favourites; we can enjoy as is or by adding fresh fruits and berries.  

Celebrate Nerf Fest by Winning

We have been celebrating Nerf Fest this September with fabulous new Nerf toys. Our favourite is the Nerf Nitro FlashFury Chaos. This fun toy allows children to create awesome stunts by firing foam cars from blasters.

Add Birthday Fun with Netflix Shows

I am familiar with the overwhelming feelings and pressure associated with planning parties, especially when it is for close family. Although over the years, I have learned our dear ones especially our children just want to feel special, and no matter what we do it will make them feel happy. My home baked cakes, and handmade cards were way more appreciated than anything store bought!

Camping and Exploring Algonquin Provincial Park in the 2017 Ford FLEX

This summer we drove the 2017 Ford FLEX, full size crossover utility vehicle to explore Algonquin Provincial Park. There are plenty of trails, natural beauty, and educational opportunities to explore between the vast Algonquin park from the East Gate to West Gate. 

The Excitement of Machine Embroidery

Machine embroidery is a fun way to add unique touches to our sewing and home décor projects. I found that once we figure out how to setup the machine by switching the embroidery foot, inserting the panel, and embroidery hoop, it becomes simple as pressing a button and changing the thread.

Getting Ready for School and Rearranging Our Workspace

It is very important for children and adults alike to setup a separate space to either do homework or office work without distractions. We have a dedicated room to study, work, and practice our creative flow. We spruced up our creative corner by adding a couple of office and school furniture from Canadian Tire. The CANVAS brand Blair office chair and the Clara desk go well together and bring a whole different, refreshing feel to the room.
