My family eats Butter Chicken fairly often. It's one of my go-to recipes. I enjoy using a premade sauce like VH's Butter Chicken cooking sauce. It's a quick and simple dinner that my family loves. You just sauté some chicken, add the sauce and simmer for a bit. Cook up some rice and you're done. Given that my family loves to eat Butter Chicken, when I saw this recipe to make … [Read more...]
Lunchtime with Metro {Recipe, Tips & Giveaway!}
We're into the third week of Senior Kindergarten here, and I'm already running out of lunch ideas. And G-Girl only goes every other day. So technically today was only her 7th day of school. How the heck do you people with kids who need to pack a lunch every day do it? Seven whole days and I'm already sick of making lunches? I think … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving with Wholly Guacamole {Recipe}
I've got a confession to make. I don't really do Thanksgiving. I have cooked a turkey exactly once, and while nothing went disastrously wrong I found trying to time everything and feed half a dozen extra people sort of stressful. Thanksgiving for us usually means going to my parents's house for the afternoon and chowing down on my mom's delicious stuffing. This year we're doing … [Read more...]
Oliver’s Labels, Making Back to School Simple
Last year I didn't buy school labels for Rainbow. I had a hard time deciding if she should go into Junior Kindergarten, and our last minute enrolment didn't leave me much time to pre-plan for things you order ahead of time, like labels. It was a bit of a shock for me to find that the school expected us to label EVERYTHING. Water bottle? Cardigans? Running shoes? You've got to … [Read more...]
W is for Wapiti! An Alphabet Songbook & CD Set

W is for Wapiti is a storybook-music CD featuring twenty-four original kids songs, all based around the alphabet. The artwork for the book … [Read more...]
Back to School? Deck out their locker with Command Brand Hooks & Poster Strips
I'm a huge fan of Command brand hooks. I seriously think they are one of the most brilliant inventions ev-ah. I don't remember exactly when they came out, what was it maybe ten years ago? But now I can't imagine life without them. Plastic hooks used to be one of those necessary evils. They were easy to put up, and nice to have in spots like the back of bedroom doors. … [Read more...]
Head Back to School with DUDLEY Backpacks
I had a chance to check out the new dudley backback and they're pretty darn impressive looking. However they are much much too large for my five year old. So while she won't be lugging this bag to kindergarten with her, I am most definitely setting it aside to use in a few years. This bag is seriously made to carry! The lightly padded straps aren't bulky at all, and are nice … [Read more...]
TEMPTATIONS Cat Treats, Kitty Cat Hijack
This is Mr. Mojo. Peacefully resting until he hears the shake-a-shake of TEMPTATIONS treats. I like that TEMPTATIONS contain no artificial flavours and are less then 2 calories a piece. I feel like I can let Mojo have a couple treats a day, without feeling guilty that I'm overfeeding him. My cat is wild about TEMPTATIONS treats. You know that whole shake the bag and your … [Read more...]
Make Life Pure & Simple with Ivory {Review & Giveaway}
I recently had the chance to try out Ivory's line of body washes. Ivory's body washes come in Lavender, Aloe, Waterlilly and Simply Ivory scents. My fav of the bunch is the Lavender, though the Water Lilly is a close second. And I have to say Water Lilly is not a scent I expected to enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised. All of the Ivory body washes have a clean, pleasant, scent. … [Read more...]

Keeping the Dads in Our Life Healthy with Adult Essentials
One of the many reasons I'm crazy about Adult Essentials is the fact that I've finally found vitamins my husband will actually take. For years now I've been buying vitamins for my husband in hopes that he would take them.... and then eventually tossing them away as they expire. I had pretty much given up hope when Adult Essentials came on the scene. As I was writing this … [Read more...]

Celebrate Any Day with Beanitos & Wholly Guacamole
So since I finally found a local source for my Wholly Guacamole addiction, I've been going a little crazy with the guac. I spread it on my sandwiches, I mix it into rice, I dip chicken in it, I mix it into my tuna salad, and yes, I even eat it with chips. I had read a suggestion to try using guacamole as a "healthier" substitute for mayo, and I've been totally loving using … [Read more...]
Headline Shirts
Several times now T-shirt companies have asked me if I'd like to do a review and I've passed because they simply didn't have any designs I liked. Enter Headline Shirts. They make cool t-shirts that look like this: They JUST started offering kids sizes. As in when I picked my shirt it wasn't an option, or I probably would have grabbed something for Rainbow. As … [Read more...]
