Ever since we tried a few Lemongrass House products, we have been loving it because of their unique natural fragrances. Recently, we tried a few other products and love these as well. These handmade fresh products from Thailand do not use any type of artificial colour or preservatives, chemicals or parabens which makes it perfect for every skin type.
We love Game Nights. It is the best way to pass time and connect with family and friends especially during cold evenings of winter or long days in the summer. We were very excited to unbox some new Hasbro games like the Peeping Pup, Monopoly, Jenga, Scrabble, and Tiny Pong (Tiny Pong will be available in the market in June).
Camping is a lot of fun because it breaks our everyday routine. However, if you haven't gone camping before it can be intimidating! We became comfortable with car camping and investing in camping gear only after our session with Ontario Parks Learn to Camp few years ago. Since then we have gone on numerous camping trips at different Ontario Parks to enjoy the beauty of nature and to connect with each other.
We built a new wooden fence in our garden last summer using treated green wood, which has a bright refreshing feel. We gave the new fence boards time to dry out over the summer before applying a clear coat sealer to protect the wood from moisture. We used RESTORE® 12x Clear Coat Transparent Stain and Sealer. We went with the clear finish because we liked the original colour of the fence boards. This sealer can be tinted into six different colours.
Stikbots are easy-to-pose figures with suction cup hands and feet, which can stick to almost any flat surface. With the free Stikbot Studio app, available on iOS and Android, children can snap individual photos and stitch them together to make a film. The app has built-in music and sound effect options.
On our recent post about TAC sports camp we mentioned that they have partnered with LSA (Lifetime Skills Academy) to offer STEM themed programs, which will help our children exercise their creativity and develop a variety of skills.
My children have been part of Toronto Athletic Camp (TAC) for a few years now, and they have loved their enriching positive summer camp experiences! TAC has seven convenient locations in the GTA, check their website for details on the programs offered at each of the locations.
Mother's day coincides with spring when our gardens are starting to bloom and everything has that beautiful feeling of starting fresh! The collection of Hallmark products for Mother's day reminds me of this feeling.
The Big Ideas series from DK is available in a variety of topics such as religion, economics, psychology, philosophy, sociology, ecology and more. It explains hard to grasp ideas in simple ways with pictures, info-graphs, timelines, definitions, and creative typography. The format of the Big Ideas Simply Explained series is easy to navigate to learn about the different concepts on each of the topics.
We enjoy books that are not only fun to read, but also educational. DK findout! books are an excellent way for children to get interested in topics that will be useful for their common knowledge. We like that DK is introducing topics that children will come across in their curriculum and beyond. The vibrant pictures, simple explanations, and facts make it easy to remember the main points of each topic.
