Kids See Free Program at Loblaw Optical Centres

With our children back to school, I am sure we all remembered to get them all the necessities they need for the school year. This is also the time for us, as parents to think about our children's eyesight. If we are unaware that our children are having a hard time seeing the blackboard or reading it might impact their learning. During my recent visit to the Loblaw Optical Centre, I learned a few ways we can recognize if our children need glasses.

Fundy Trail Parkway and Scenic Caves

The Scenic Caves are must visit, while in the Saint John and St. Martins area. Being able to go into the caves and admiring its depth and the amazing power of how the water has changed the landscape is a beautiful and a humbling experience.

Visiting the City of Saint John, New Brunswick

Going from a stay at a small town like Saint Andrews to the city of Saint John is a different experience, and a wonderful way to explore the Fundy coastline. We loved our stay at Hilton Saint John located by the wharf. We enjoyed the excitement of the city during the day and night.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Monster Musical

Disney’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey's Monster Musical is on DVD. Children will enjoy the spooktacular full-length adventures in the episodes, and think about what their favourite costumes are. There are two exciting episodes about searching for pirate treasure with Captain Mickey, and delightful fun down on the farm. The DVD includes nearly 2-hours of adventure plus a cute Exclusive Trick-Or-Treat Mini Tote. I love that the episodes teach children about the importance of being safe especially when they go Trick-Or-Treat.

R3VOLVED Made with 100% Recycled Items

Plastic pollution kills nearly half a million marine mammals every year, and this is a concern we need to unite to stop from happening. I avoid buying plastic bottled water because it is still water that is not healthy for us, and the water bottles fill many landfills. I am glad companies like R3VOLVED is recycling plastic bottles to create planet-friendly products useful for school, home, and office.

Explore: Saint Andrews By the Sea

We loved our stay at Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, which is a beautiful small coastal community. It is a wonderful place to relax and feel the slow pace of life that we are loosing in our fast paced city life. We enjoyed the atmosphere, as we strolled along the streets of Saint Andrews and checked out the stores, restaurants, and attractions.
