OXO POP Cereal Dispenser and GreenSaver

I love this OXO POP Cereal Dispenser! It comes in 3 sizes; 2.3L, 3.2L, 4.2L to meet our storage needs. The one handed pop open lid makes this a perfect container to store cereal because of the ease of pouring the cereal through the spout.

Sign up for TAC Sports #MarchBreakCamp

I feel like we just entered the new year, but soon it will be February and before we know it our children will be home for March Break. March Break is a good time to get our children involved in fun activities where they can either learn new skills, or practice existing skills. Last March Break, my children enjoyed their time at Toronto Athletic Camp, so they are excited to join again. If you are planning on enrolling your children for the March Break camp enroll them soon before the spaces are full!

New Year New View with Netflix

Although, I make resolutions throughout the year it is nice to get reminders to start reflecting, and prioritizing what we want to do in the beginning of a new year. I plan to continue doing more crafts, DIY projects, renovations, cooking and baking food from different cuisines, and travelling with my family.

#MonsterJam 2016

monster jam trucks
Monster Jam shows are roaring loud and fun to watch! We love how these full action monster size trucks play on dirt like they are small Hot Wheel toys. This yearly Monster Jam show at Rogers Centre is super fun for everyone in the family. However, this year's show at Rogers Centre wasn't as cool as it was in the previous years. There wasn't as much action, so we were a little disappointed!

Foxglove Flowers Quilled Wall Display

In winter when we don't see much colour in the garden, I like to remember the beautiful and unique flowers. I think projects like this quilled Foxglove flowers make beautiful art work when it is mounted on canvas and displayed on the wall.

Adding a Splash of Colour and Getting Organized

We added Fusion paint to a few things around our home to add a splash of colour and used Washi tape in functional ways in our home to keep us organized.

Quilled Ducks #PaperCraft

Quilling is one of my favourite hobbies. We can make a variety of fun craft or art work with colourful quilled paper, quilling tool, and glue. I think the possibilities are only limited by our imagination.

Soft Boiled Eggs and Ramen Fusion Cookbook Giveaway

With a new year comes many reminders for us to make new resolutions! However, I like making goals and resolutions throughout the year. Incorporating meals from different cuisines is an exciting way to start of 2016, so I explored Ramen dishes from Japanese cuisine. I learned a lot about these dishes from the DK Ramen Fusion Cookbook by Nell Benton and from watching The Mind of a Chef Season 1 Episode 1 on Netflix.

Sparkle Handmade Holiday Cards

It is fun to make our own homemade holiday cards to give our loved ones. To make this Holiday card, I used my Brother ScanNCut to cut out happy holidays and the snowflake. Then I used the Craft Twinkles Writer to frame and add sparkle to the card.

The Keyless Future with Schlage

Schlage keyless deadbolt
The hassle of losing or forgetting house keys or any set of keys can be very cumbersome and nerve wracking. Imagine a life without keys? I think with our busy active lifestyles it is sometimes best not to worry about the simple things such as house keys. This keyless future is currently sitting on my front door! We installed a Schlage Touch Keyless Touchscreen Deadbolt recently and have been surprised and happy about how stylish, easy, practical, and functional it is.
