Straws and Connectors Encourage Developmental Skills

I favour S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) education, as I believe it has lots of developmental benefits for our children and it helps them to gain wider perspectives. It is important for parents and educators to encourage children to understand basic concepts of these subjects, so they can make inquiries, explore and learn. Giving appropriate tools for exploration and play has direct impact on a child's development in a variety of levels such as cognitive, physical, literacy, numeracy, and emotional growth.

Pharmacy and Dietitian Services Offered at Select Loblaws Stores

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Loblaws Companies Inc. All opinions are 100% mine.

Both the Loblaws Dietitians and the Loblaws Pharmacy team can help us with our nutrition concerns on a variety of topics. When I spoke with a Loblaws store pharmacist, I found out that the pharmacists and dietitians at the Loblaws store work closely together to offer education/ information programs to help us achieve our health goals.

Origami is a fun craft to do when you have instructions that are easy to follow. It is less frustrating for beginners when the instructions are simple, clear, and build on the skills.

Making Our Own Unique Cereal with Mixit

Couple of years ago we had the opportunity to try Mixit cereal, and have really enjoyed the uniqueness of this service. We are glad the service by this family owned company, and the quality of the ingredients in the product remains to be best, while additions to the options have increased. We like how easy and quick it is to personalize and order the cereal with our preferred combination of ingredients from Mixit. The cereal blends are perfect to enjoy for breakfast with milk, or to prepare a quick and healthy dessert by serving it along yogurt and fresh fruit.
