Trudeau offers a variety of cleverly designed practical accessories under $50 that are wonderful to give as hostess gifts, or to be placed in the dinner table, which will be appreciated by everyone.

Flavourful Stew made in the Breville Risotto Plus

I made this hearty, flavourful stew in the Breville Risotto Plus cooker. I found it awesome that I can sauté, steam, make rice and risotto, as well as use it as a slow cook all in the same bowl with this Risotto Plus. I really like how the food caramelizes and cooks in the sauté mode, which I can then switch to either rice, steam, or risotto, or slow cook either in high or low setting all using the same bowl without additional work.

Win a Cold & Flu Kit Prize Pack

Fall has arrived which means the cold and flu season is here as well. I am excited to partner with Shoppers Drug Mart to offer one of my readers a chance to win a Cold and Flu Prep Kit to help ward off disease and stay healthy.

Win Your Own Cool GoBuddy+ by Kanex

The GoBuddy+ by Kanex is a handy product to have for the frequent traveler. It is always good to have an extra charger for our device because we never know when we will need it. The GoBuddy+ is a portable charger for our iOS devices and a bottle opener all in one. If you are running out of charge on your phone or misplace your charger this portable charger is compact and lightweight to be attached to your keychain or bag with the included carabiner.

Must Have Travel Products For Our Outdoor Adventures

This iPod or iPhone 5 sleek E-Case with access to the headphone jack allowed me to experience complete functionality even when it was raining outside because of its waterproof protection. The waterproof SealLock zipper guarantees protection from all the elements. This e-case allows the phone to withstand for 30 minutes when it is submersed into 1 meter of water.

Making a Felt Soft Ball Inspired by the DK Gift Boutique Quilting Book

I checked out the Quilting Patchwork and Appliqué book by DK publishing, which covers everything we need to know to successfully do quilting, patchwork, and appliqué. I like that the book leads beginners through all the details that helped me to get confidence to try different projects. This book will also inspire those with experience in quilting, as it has over 100 quilt block patterns to make unique keepsakes. I have done a few patchwork projects before, and have made this rectangle cushion with the same material and this denim cushion with different patchwork designs.

Keeping Our Body Warm with a Baselayer and Hydrated with Platypus

This Platypus Soft Bottle is perfect to take with us anywhere we go to keep us hydrated. This awesome Platypus Soft Bottle has a dual-valve Hyperflow cap that allows us to easily bite to drink, and control the flow of the water. I like that we don't have to bite the valve hard, and even if anyone bites the bottle it does not get bite marks even when it is bitten on. If we do bite it hard, it could cut off the flow of the water. The travel valve shuts down when we twist it, so the water does not leak when the bottle is under pressure.

Colouring with Crayola

Children who enjoy colouring will really like the fun of using the Mess Free Color Wonder paint on Crayola Color Wonder Paper. This Mess Free Color Wonder gives a magic of colour without the mess. The six gel paint colours come with a brush and can only be used on Color Wonder Paper. 

Montreal Science Centre

The family friendly Montreal Science Centre is a fun place to explore. We got a chance to see the Cave of Lascaux exhibit during our visit, as well as explore other fun features of the Science Centre in Montreal.

My family is big on snacks, and enjoy it all the time. During the school days, I prepare healthy snacks for my children to take to school and enjoy during their recess break. We also like to have snacks in the evening right after school before having dinner. I find preparing healthy snacks and having them accessible to my children to enjoy as they wish is important to me because this way they get the amount of servings they need much easily than at meal times.
