As I get older the list of "things" I want for Christmas becomes shorter and shorter. It's the realization of course that the things we really want in life, can't be bought in a store. Memories, unique experiences, and emotional connection are truly the best gifts we can give each other. I can't recall what anyone gave me from one year to the next, but I can go back through pictures (to date, 64K of them in the cloud) and recall every emotion I felt hugging a child or seeing them respond …
Fisher-Price® Moms Top 10 Toys and a #Giveaway
My girls grew up with Fisher-Price toys and so when I was asked to participate in a survey they were conducting I was only too happy to join in the fun. After all, not only was Fisher-Price a huge part of my daughters' childhood, it was part of mine and my husband's too.

That's why I love Redbox Canada that has all the latest movies at ridiculously affordable prices (hello, $1.25 a movie!). Just in my area alone, I have ten Redbox locations that are …
Summer is Brief, Capture Every Moment #30SummerDays #Giveaway
On the occasion of Canada's 147th birthday, I'm pretty excited to kick-off this giveaway for a Nikon Coolpix S9600. For the month of June Staples Canada challenged me to participate in their #30DaysofSummer photo challenge on Instagram.

Summer in Canada, after all, is …
