Cooking : The Good, The Bad and The Surprising

October 7, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant 1 Comment

I have always loved to cook. I assume it is the same with many families but for me it was always a time of togetherness with a side of great adventure. My mother had this spiral notebook which held mystical recipes that she used to turn boring dinners into tasty delights. I remember fondly my excitement at being old enough to use that notebook with my mom, and one day on my … [Read more...]

What I Learned and What I Know, About Gardening…

September 29, 2015 by Deanna Tousignant 1 Comment

Ever since I was a little girl my dad would tell me..."you never want to do anything unless you already know how to do it." This has been a common theme throughout my life. I would always have to read and re-read and study up and explore options and check and check again...before I would even attempt most things. I was never that just try and see kind of kid (or for the most … [Read more...]

Read the Instructions First, Go Anywhere Booster Seat Review

May 26, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I was so excited to review the Go Anywhere Booster Seat. This being my fifth child I have always seen a need for a portable high chair option and never have I found anything convenient enough or portable enough. I was also pretty excited because we are moving soon and the thought of ridding ourselves of that big bulky high chair was glorious! I opened up the package hooked … [Read more...]

Little Little Organics, Organic Cotton Baby Clothes available at beansprout.ca

April 22, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I remember the first days of organic cotton clothing. How I longed for that soft breathable fabric but it was priced far to high and required far too much attention and care (shrinkage was usually the biggest problem). I would never add it to my wardrobe, let alone for my children. I am thrilled to say those days are definitely over. Little Little Organics has developed a line … [Read more...]

All Natural Beauty with Mia Mairu

How excited can a girl get about make-up? Many women I knew loved make-up and had favorite brands and colours. I remember not leaving the house with out my make-up on but that was years ago. The years before I had kids. The years before I was too tired. The years before I knew what was actually in make-up and learned about chemicals and dangers. Now I was a crunchy momma. A … [Read more...]

This is a guest review from my friend Kim. She's a mom to four kids, from highschool age to toddler, and with a little one on the way in the new year.

First my order was here within a week of ordering. When I opened … [Read more...]

Mini Lalaloopsy Doll, revisted.

September 25, 2011 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

A while back I had the chance to check out one of the cute Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls, and it didn't go over all that well with my then three-year old Rainbow.  However, I had a feeling an older kid would appreciate the doll, so I found her a home with my friend Kim's daughter. Now, here is Kim with a guest review  on their experiences with the doll: When I found out for my … [Read more...]
