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…
I was a fangirl long before the term existed. The Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High? Read them all and knew the characters as if they were my real-life besties. But The X-Files is where I really got into fandom. Taping and rewatching episodes, pouring over magazines and official and unofficial guides, cos-playing (or, “dressing…
First off, let me say that this post is not sponsored by the Savon de Marseille Industrial Complex, or any of its subsidiaries. I am simply a girl, faced with a magical cube of olive-coloured soap, asking it, “What CAN’T you do?” Read this post to learn just some of the amazing things it can…
Welcome, green and green-aspiring friends to my Myni review! I have been on the Myni cleaning products train since before they were called Myni! If you’ve been following my social media for a while (thank you!), you may know this zero-waste cleaning tablet brand as “Filo.” They recently rebranded to Myni: same cleaning tablets, but…
