Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!


My children and I loved watching Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day! This Disney’s heartwarming comedy will have the entire family laughing out loud. The movie is based on the best-selling book, and it is about the exploits of Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life and wonders if bad things only happen to him. But he discovers he’s not alone when his dad, mom, and siblings live through their own terrible and hilarious day. It will tickle everyone’s funny bone, and warm their hearts as they discover how even on rotten days, families can grow closer.

Share the Love

Share the love with your family and friends by giving them these cute and thoughtful Hallmark items. This Hug-Lovin' Hippo Techno Plush is a hug-hungry hippo that dances and sings telling the world how much she loves hugs. 

TaoTronics® Products for Our Home and Lifestyle

I really enjoy having useful devices in my home, in the car and when we travel. There are many technology devices that make everyday activities convenient. This TaoTronics' Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight has become useful for us, as I have placed it in the entrance to our home, so I have a light source when I walk in. I like that the energy saving LED light is bright, and has a white light instead of a dull light.

TaoTronics® Products Our Vehicle and Travel

This Air Vent Mount Car Smartphone Holder from TaoTronics® is a good alternative to suction cup enabled car accessory holders. Having the phone “at our fingertips” attached to the car air vent is very useful. I like that it holds our phone securely without scratching it using two padded expandable arms. The way this holder is designed enables it to fits most phones with different charging inputs. Another advantage of this holder is that it can be turned 360 degrees making it easy to view your phone at a comfortable angle as well as to use larger screened phones in landscape mode.

Win Your Own Childproofing Coverplug


The Coverplug™ is a durable, molded, and paintable plastic panel that plugs right into an electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. I really like this innovative outlet cover, which is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and does not require tools for installation or removal. The specially designed plastic that is used can be easily paintable to match our wall color.

Designer Cure Pink Ribbon Mat

We can gift our doorway with style and heart, with a Welcome a Cure Pink Ribbon Mat, that helps raise money for Breast Cancer research. Carpet One has partnered with 12 interior design experts who have added their flare for color and home fashion to the mix of beautifully designed and durable indoor-outdoor mats.

Learning How to Care For Our Body with Natural Ingredients

It is important to take time to love ourselves and feel good. I enjoyed reading and going through DK's Natural Beauty book written by Susan Curtis, Fran Johnson, Pat Thomas, and Justine Jenkins. The book has lots of tips and techniques that we can use, and it encourages using easy to find, gentle products such as herbs, plants, and other kitchen ingredients to care for our skin and body.

Revolutionary Way To Clean Laundry

Everyone has to do laundry… and Crystal Wash is something that saves us money, and it is better for the environment. It has clinically demonstrated to be as effective as detergent and allows us to do 1,000 loads of laundry without using detergents, chemicals, dyes or perfumes. I am looking forward to using Crystal Wash, which sounds like an efficient and natural way to do laundry.

Our Cabinet Transformation Using Rust-Oleum

After transforming the cabinets with Rust-Oleum
We have used Rust-Oleum about three years ago to transform our front porch, and love the results. Due to our trust in their products my husband and I undertook a DIY project during the holidays using the Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformation kit. Using this kit to transform the kitchen cupboards to our preferred colour is less costly compared to changing the entire cupboards or doing messy demolitions.

We love watching this power sport with bikes, and the freestyle show of the trucks doing neat tricks. Here are some pictures of this years roaring trucks...
