Drink Better Live Better a Lifestyle Change We Plan to Make

My family and I are joining other Canadian families in the movement to make healthy hydration choices, to #DrinkBetterLiveBetter. Water is in the core of our existence and has the most essential nutrients needed for life. Drinking water regularly can help our overall wellbeing. What we drink is just as important as what we eat, so making this lifestyle change has lots of benefits.

Shows We Plan to Watch on Netflix

We like shows that everyone in our family can enjoy watching together without feeling uncomfortable with the content that comes up. I am hoping Netflix will continue to update the selection with more nature shows, and movies and shows that we can watch, and learn about how wonderful our world is and about important things that could benefit us and those around us.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean day products
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Products are now available in Canada. I like these aromatherapeutic cleaning products because they are powerful against dirt and grime, and are made with naturally-derived ingredients that are gentle both in our home and to the environment.

We enjoyed driving the Soul Red Metallic Mazda3 that has an impressive exterior and interior design. We like the smooth design and safety features of the Mazda3 and feel it is a wonderful everyday vehicle. 

Sewing a Crotchet Hook Case

Sewing a Crotchet Hook Case
I recently invested in a set of crotchet hooks, and really like how comfortable this set of crotchet hooks are. I use these hooks for variety of projects, and wanted to make sure I keep the hooks in one place. Since these hooks did not come with a case, I stitched a crotchet hook case using felt.

During our visit to the Fallsview Waterpark, we enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton on the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This modern 4-diamond hotel within the Falls Avenue Resort gives the best view of both the American and Horseshoe falls that we have ever seen from a hotel at Niagara Falls!

During winter we miss fresh flowers from our garden, so any activity that adds some colour is a choice for my children and I. This is a fun activity that children will enjoy doing needs...

New Year’s Eve Entertaining Kit at Loblaws

New Year's Eve is a landmark occasion where everyone celebrates, whether you are hosting a cocktail party for long-time friends or giving little ones their first taste of the festivities. For some families, New Year's Eve is a mad dash to the finish line, as parents find themselves pulling together last minute celebrations while juggling the day-to-day demands of family life.
