Photography Inspiration from Canon Canada

I love taking pictures. This hobby of taking photography became more of a passion for me when my children were born, as I wanted to capture the moments and memories that I can later use to tell them stories. I think capturing quality clear images make it more exciting to print, or make albums. I really like this Facebook app from Canon Canada that inspires, and allows us to learn how to take pictures of our children so the pictures look professional.

This Roll and Stow Will Help Us With All Our Painting Projects

Painting is one of the top do-it-yourself projects in Canada because it is inexpensive to do it ourselves. Taking on this project is fairly easy, and fun. I feel every time we do our own painting it also gives us a sense of accomplishment when the project is complete. However, every paint project comes with challenges including paint spills, the inconvenience of temporarily packing up paint supplies when we cannot finish a project in a single day and keeping paint tools organized and neat in a single storage place between paint jobs. This new Canadian made Roll and Stow solves all these problems.

Using Scotch Brand Tapes for Gift Styling and Making Cards

There are endless creative possibilities on how we can use tape. I find the colourful tapes inspire me to make unique items. I have used different coloured tape to make cards, wrap gifts, and for decor. I use different coloured tape to be creative in decorating folders, notebooks, and handmade cards that can be given to family and friends.

Fisher-Price’s Laugh & Learn® Smart Stages™ Vacuum

Fisher-Price’s Laugh and Learn® Smart Stages™ is a brand new toy collection that features an innovative and revolutionary learning technology that grows with the child for up to three years. There are seven toys in this Laugh and Learn® Smart Stages™ collection that promotes learning through play. I believe children learn more when they are having fun, and this has been a reason for me to always buy toys that encourage learning in a fun way. This is one of the things I look for when buying presents for family and friends as well.

Get Creative This Holiday With Crayola

My daughter and I enjoyed using the Crayola Beadola Charm Maker kit to make fun, detailed beads. The kit includes 3 1/4 lb air drying clay bags in grey, pink, and purple, 25 gems, and four bead plates with twenty four bead designs such as hearts, stars and more for us to make imprints on the clay beads. 

Handy Kitchen Tools For Those Who Enjoy Baking

I enjoy baking cakes, cookies and bread at home. It is a big bonus for me to know what goes into the food when I bake at home. Many families these days just like mine enjoy baking everything from bread, sweet treats, and decadent desserts as a way of celebrating, giving comfort and showing love.

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.
