It is now my three-year Aurora-versary. I started using Aurora Heat reusable hand and body warmers in November of 2022. Just as the arrival of pumpkin spice everything signals the arrival of cooler climes, the first time pulling out my Aurora Heat wrist warmers—because my hands are freezing even though the heat is on in…
The information in this review refers specificially to the Canadian model. The Graco SlimFit—officially named the “Graco SlimFit3 LX 3-in-1”— is the latest addition to Graco’s Canadian car seat roster. It is the narrowest seat on the Canadian market, making it a solid choice in many tight seating arrangements. It is compact front-to-back and can…
We finally made a family trip to Silverwood happen this summer! I got a lot of questions from others wondering if it’s a good destination for them or how to make the most out of the park. I am no travel blogger; this was my first time leaving the country since 2013! I hope this…
Now, I am quite partial to the term “geriatric millennial,” but I have noticed that more and more folks are adopting the more flattering, wisdom-implying nomenclature of “Elder millenial.” I just turned 40, making me very much an Elder Millenial, and a proud one at that. I am nostalgic AF since the pandemic, and maybe…
It is peak adulting to be so absolutely enamored with a home appliance that you tell all your friends about it. And then those friends—also in their peak adulting era—buy it and start texting you pictures and videos to express how much they, too, love the appliance. This is my experience with my Tineco iFloor…
I much prefer being too cold than being too hot. When you’re cold, you can add layers to warm yourself up. You can move your body. You can blow hot air into your hands. You can have a hot chocolate. When you’re too hot, once you’re stripped down to your undies you cannot do anything…
Welcome to my Kidamento review! If you’re wondering if the Kidamento Model P Instant Print camera is the right choice for your child, you’re in the right place. Last year for Christmas my daughter desperately wanted an Instax camera. The camera itself is only about $90, but the film works out to roughly a buck…
Period undies always confused me. Wouldn’t you want to change them multiple times a day? But period undies are typically designed to be worn all day, with many brands selling various absorbency levels. That said, even if a pair were absorbent enough for my very heavy flow, I really prefer to freshen up over the…
I am well known as an advocate of French-language education on my blog and social media. I have a Bachelor of Arts in French and a Bachelor of Education in high school second-language education. I also have a Diploma in Translation Studies but I have no idea where it is! Perhaps my biggest qualification is…
Are you looking for easy card games for kids and adults? Games that you can be up and playing in minutes without slogging through a novel-length instruction manual? Games with quick rounds so nobody is getting bored and everyone is engaged? SAME. In theory, I enjoy playing board games and card games. In practice, I…
This is the first time I am working with my daughter, now age 7.5, to make a list of book recommendations. These are her current favourite book series for grade 2! My son started reading to himself in both French and English when he was 6, which sparked a series of blog posts and an…
Ethical Canadian brands are my favourite brands, eh! I have had the pleasure of working with many brands since I launched this modest little blog as a new mom with one little wolf cub. Three more cubs and almost a decade later, I have seen companies launch and fail, and companies launch and truly take…
My daughter loves crafting! I love crafting with her … sometimes. The best craft kits for kids are the ones that their parents do not hate. She has received many crafting kits that drive me insane: too much glitter, too many teeny tiny beads, not enough glue that doesn’t stick anyway, and a finished product…
My son is an intellectual. Forget team sports or laser tag, Cub likes books, animals, video games, superheroes and puzzles. For his 10th birthday, we took his friends to an escape room. Being the oldest of 4, he doesn’t get a ton of one-on-one time with us to play board games, so when he needs…
Technology is great. Love the little computer that fits in my pocket. Big fan of antibiotics and vaccines. But sometimes, we humans, in our quest for bigger, better, newer and more complex goodies, forget that nature does a lot of things better. This is where Aurora Heat comes in. There are a lot of hand…
