It's no secret that I am obsessed with Twitter.  I pretty much live on there! In fact, Twitter is responsible for giving me pretty much 90% of my blog opps and even side jobs. I kid you not.

Why do I love Twitter so much? It enables me to meet and get to know so many fabulous people. I'm all about the relationships made and cultivated. Engaging is my thing. I'm as chatty in person as I am online. What you see is what you get.

This is how Kathy and Kim Originals and I met!  A group of tweeps, gathered together by my friend, @Dogpaddling would get together (on Twitter) and watch various TV shows. The commentary would be hilarious and I often think it would be so funny to get us all in one room watching together! I wonder if we'd actually be talking or tweeting? Hmm!

Anyway, Twitter has enabled me to cross paths with some pretty amazing people. Every week, I'd tweet with my tweeps and joke around on Twitter while we watched our favourite shows. I quickly fell in love with the ladies at @KathyandKimOrig. If you haven't already tweeted with them, you must do so now!

I was surprised when Kathy and Kim Originals recently approached me to work with them on something exciting! They asked me to review two of their poly mugs. The funny thing is that I have been following them for a while now and often find myself perusing their site! I have been thinking that I'd like to get the loot bag combo for Little One's friends at her next birthday. Yes, I do realize her birthday is in November, and I am in absolutely no rush for her to turn 5 yet. *gasp* FIVE!!!

I'm just really excited about all the products on the Kathy and Kim Originals website!

What kid (okay, and big kid...aka: ME!) doesn't love to have personalized items?! I'm a sucker for personalized anything! This is what we got:

 
Aren't they adorable?

The funny thing is that the image on Little One's mug bears a striking  resemblance to the real life Little One. She was so excited to receive her mug and yelled, "HEY!!! THAT'S ME!!!!"

What I love about the mugs is that they are SHATTERPROOF! You can customize and personalize your items. They make the perfect gift for everyone on your list! I know what I'm ordering for Little One's Junior Kindergarten teacher!

LOVE:

• shatterproof - Little One drops things on the floor quite often, so it's good to know that this will not shatter into a zillion pieces if Little One happens to drop her cup.
• size - The perfect size and weight for a wee one!
• personalized - You and your little ones can create your own special items the way you want by selecting from KKO's selctions (and there are lots of options in colours and designs)!
• Canadian - The company is owned and operated by two Canadian women.
• May be art of a Green living initiative - Little One loves toting her mug with her. I love that she's learning the idea of reduce-reuse/recycle. She always brings her own cup or thermos with her instead of using disposables.
• BPA/H free - The mugs are FDA approved.
• Unique - Great way to express yourself.

Disclosure - I received products to facilitate this honest review. All opinions on this blog are honest and my own.

One thing you may know about me is that when I love a company, brand, store, or product, I am a very vocal supporter.  Oh, and if I'm not overly pleased, I'll voice my honest opinions. Always in a respectful and tactful way, of course!

I must tell you that one of my absolute favourite places to shop is SnuggleBugz.ca!  I won't even tell you how many amazing items I've bought from their online store! All I can say is "Thank goodness I don't work there", because I can foresee all my paycheques going to buying fabulous, practical, stylish, top quality products for my child. Not that it's a bad thing! In fact, that's a great thing!  Oh. The spending all my money part...not so great!

Two very cool products we were recently given the opportunity to test out are:
The Boon Scrubble Bath Toy Squirt Set and the Boon Whale Pod Bath Toy Scoop.

Bath time is part of our bedtime routine. After supper, Little One chills out, then has a bath, gets into her pajamas, brushes her teeth, reads a bedtime story (or two...or three!).  Bath time is a very important part of our routine.

If you have kids who aren't keen on batch time, the Boon Scrubble Bath Toy Squirt Set and the Boon Whale Pod Bath Toy Scoop are perfect for getting them wanting to take a bath! I don't know about your kids, but Little One loves being in the bath! She tells us that she wants to "go swimming" in the tub!


What I love about the Boon Pod Toy Scoops is that they are really well made and are so functional and practical! I love that you can scoop up all the toys in one or two quick swoops (or let your little ones clean up their own bath toys by swooping with the Boon Pod Toy Scoop themselves)!

Another feature I love is that there are holes that allow the toys to drain and air dry when stored in the pod scoop! No mildew! Hooray! Nothing is worse than having to throw away bath toys because they get all mildew-infested inside!

I also love the built-in shelf where you can place bottles of bubble bath, baby wash, shampoo, etc. So handy!

Here's a video for your viewing pleasure:

I'm also going to go a step further and say I love the whale pod because it matches my bathroom decor. My bathroom colours are cerulean and white!

As for the Scrubble Bath Toy Squirt Set? As far as bath toys go, these are among Little One's favourites. She can squirt water from them, get all sudsy and use them like scrubber or a loofah! I love that she thinks they're used for cleaning the bathtub! Ha! She goes to town scrubbing my bathtub and shower walls! That makes Mama happy!

We've always been huge Boon fans. We love their products and own quite a few! Of course, you already know how we feel about SnuggleBugz!

Do you want to have your own Boon Whale Pod Bath Toy Scoop and Boon Scrubble Bath Toy Squirt Set?

Giveaway open to residents of Canada. Ends March 15, 2013 at 12am EST.

This Giveaway is now over. The winner is...Jennifer Grace1! Congratulations!

Disclosure - I received the above products to facilitate this honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog are honest and my own.

Are you dreaming about lazing on a tropical beach, listening to the waves crash on the shore? It's Winter in Canada, folks! Many of us love the outdoors and activities that Winter brings, right? Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, skating, hockey, sledding, snow fort building, snow angel making, and snow ball fights! Right?

As fun as all of the above are, we all know that unforgiving Winter conditions (Brrr! Freezing temperatures, windchill, and yikes...harshness on our hair with dryness of air from furnace or electric heaters!!!) all make our skin dry and itchy, and make our hair frizzy and uncooperative. Tell me you love the way you get static from removing your tuque?

To conquer the cold, P&G would like to share the following:


The Issue: Kinky, curly, wavy and unruly frizz

The Cause: Some hair types, like curly and coarse tresses, are just naturally prone to frizz, but more often than not, frizz is a sign of damaged hair. The combination of outdoor air and indoor heating can do a number on your strands, causing frizz, fly-aways and dryness.

The Solution: Moisture. Start by using a shampoo and conditioner designed to fight frizz.  Don’t be afraid to skip washing daily - it’s unnecessary and hard on hair.  Try to air-dry your hair when possible to help reduce split ends from heat damage.  And always use heat-protecting products before heat-styling to help protect your hair from high temperatures and unnecessary breakage.

Product to try: Herbal Essences None of your Frizzness Shampoo and Conditioner’s serum-infused formula moisturizes hair with the right amount of conditioning ingredients for lusciously soft and shiny hair.  $4.49* each


The Issue: Delicate hair

The Cause: Blow-drying and heat-styling tools can contribute to more breakage during the winter. Blistery snowy weather also tends to wet and freeze hair in the cold leading to additional breakage.

The Solution: To help avoid winter breakage, it’s important to get regular trims every eight weeks. Split ends split upwards, so the less one trims, the more breakage they will experience. It’s also important to practise a good at-home daily hair routine in between cuts to avoid breakage and keep hair moisturized. Protect hair against damage from the cold outdoors and styling heat by applying a moisturizing mist that’s designed for daily use.

Product to try: Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Moisture Mist strengthens dry fragile hair against damage and preps it for styling.  Try the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal line (Shampoo, Conditioner and Silky Moisture Whip) for added damage control. $5.99* each


Conquer the cold with a great giveaway from P&G!


One lucky reader will be able to conquer the cold with the seven products below valued at $44!

It's Winter. It's just after the Holidays. It's cold and flu time. It's "let's play with all my friends who are all sick and have runny noses" time for my Little One. This ultimately means it's Boogie Wipes time.

Before I begin, let me just say that I was a little apprehensive before we first tried Boogie Wipes. Curious, intrigued, fascinated...but, apprehensive.

Why?

Well, I've been trying to go as waste-free as possible and use reusable everything. Ummm...with boogies though, who really wants to use washcloths and throw them in the wash all the time? They're filled with boogies!!!

If you're a parent of a baby, toddler, or young child who is sick, you know how much boogie content tthey're capable of producing! Uhhhnn-huhhhnnn! That's a lot of boogies, right? Plus, the thought of me carrying around boogie-filled washcloths in a resealable plastic bag so I could wash them when we returned from running errands just grosses me out.

Another reason I was a little hesitant to purchase some right away was that I wondered just how much better Boogie Wipes were than tissue. Weren't Boogie Wipes just a better version of diaper wipes? Boy, was I wrong!

I had heard other parents chatting about Boogie Wipes in passing (in conversations at various social gatherings, on blogs, on Twitter, on Facebook...everywhere).

We were given the opportunity to test out Boogie Wipes and I am so thrilled!

Perfect timing too, because Little One seems to have on and off bouts with boogie infestation. Yes, her nose is where boogies reside. Habitat for boogies.

My 4 year old daughter thinks the Fun Facts on the Boogie Wipes site are fun and interesting.  She's also now obsessed with the Gross Facts page! Yes, I'm that Mom! The one who visits company websites and reads everything about the products before buying them.

 Julie Pickens and Mindee Doney developed the first ever saline nose wipe called Boogie Wipes® as a solution for their kids’ sore, red, runny noses.

The saline wipes are gentle on sensitive little stuffy noses AND they smell great! I know, that is an odd observation, but they really do smell good! Little One LOVES Boogie Wipes, and I have to actually tell her she doesn't need to use them ALL the time!

Want to know more about Boogie Wipes? Click here. You'll find great information and all sorts of fun things on the site!

I recently noticed that the Toys 'R Us closest to us sells Boogie Wipes. So happy! Usually, Little One won't let me go near her with a tissue to blow her nose. Now, she wants to blog her nose with her Boogie Wipes.

FOR TEACHERS:
I thought this was worth sharing: http://www.savethesleeve.com/for_teachers.html
Boogie Wipes for the classroom sounds like a great way to teach kids/students to prevent the spread of germs and pledge to practice healthy habits.

Connect with Boogie Wipes on Twitter and Facebook.

You're probably thinking, "Why is that Christine offering us a P&G Holiday Survival Kit for after the Holidays?"

Right?

I know you're wondering!

If you're anything like me, you'll be exhausted after all the build up for the holidays, the visiting, prepping, cooking, cleaning, eating, visiting, cooking, cleaning, eating (repeat three or four times). You'll say that you love the holidays because you get to spend time with your beloved family and friends. You'll rehash favourite memories, make new memories, tell stories of yesteryear. Maybe you'll embarrass a friend or family member. Maybe you'll be the object of those embarrassing "Remember when?" moments. All in all, you will relish your time with your loved ones because the holidays are largely about being able to be with those most near and dear to your heart.

Then you'll be excited when it's time for everyone to go back to their normal lives and routines, because by gosh, the holidays are exhausting. Fun, but exhausting.

The truth is, for us, the celebrating doesn't really end after Christmas. I actually consider January as still the holidays. We still have friends and family events - New Year's, birthdays, etc.

{ Some items I find that save me during the holidays are }

Venus & Olay Razor and Satin Care with a Touch of Olay Shave Gel
Okay, I have a confession. I'm Asian (not that you hadn't realized that already) and many Asians aren't very hairy. My confession is that I only have to shave my legs once every few months. How is that possible? Like I said. I'm Asian. I can go the entire Winter or Summer and never have to shave. This said, I absolutely love, love, love the Venus & Olay Razer and the Satin Care with a touch of Olay Shave Gel. It makes the shaving process an enjoyable, easy, and fun one. Yes, I do get excited about shaving my legs! Who doesn't love silky, smooth legs?

CoverGirl LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara and CoverGirl Blast Flipstick
As I mentioned already, I'm Asian. This means I've been blessed with puny, skimpy, barely there lashes. I'm not-so-quiet about how envious I am about my husband's and daughter's lashes! They both have incredibly long, beautiful lashes. No fair!  CoverGirl LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara is great because it gives good coverage and lasts 24 hours. You know, for all the partying you're going to be doing and for all the photo opps you'll be having! The CoverGirl Blast Flipstick is also one of my favourites. I love the dual tones to mix things up or add new depth and go from a daytime to nighttime look.

Secret Outlast Deodorant
Crazy busy getting things ready for your parties or entertaining the troops? Keep your cool with 48 hours of odour protection, designed to outlast your day. My Momma always said "Never forget to wear deodorant". True story.

Tide to Go
So handy to keep a Tide to Go pen handy in your purse in case of spills. Trust me. I'm the girl who spills things on my shirt. ALL. THE. TIME. Never fails.

Duracell Batteries
What's worse than getting your kid a gift that they really wanted so badly that they were willing to sell they're younger brother for (errrr...I mean do their  homework without prompting and clean up their room, the bathroom, the living room without so much as a peep from Mom) and only to discover that batteries are not included?! DOH!! Said in my best Homer Simpson voice. So many holiday gadgets and toys require batteries. Having a good stockpile of Duracell products on hand is key. I mean, c'mon. "Here, little Jimmy! Do you like your new toy? Awww...too bad you can't play with it. We don't have batteries".

What do you think of my favourite Holiday Survival Kit items? You want some of your own? Today is your lucky day! Giveaway open to residents of Canada.
  Holiday Survival giveaway pack includes one of each: Pantene Moisture Mask, Venus & Olay razor and Satin Care with a Touch of Olay Shave Gel, Herbal Essences Set Me Up Heat Protection Spray, CoverGirl LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara, CoverGirl Blast Flipstick, Secret Outlast deodorant, Tide to Go and Duracell.  Valued at $65*

Disclosure - As a #PGMom, I receive special perks. Despite my affiliation, all the thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog are honest and my own.

Nobody likes an icy and slippery driveway, walkway, pavement or set of steps in the Winter.  I remember a few years ago, when Little One was a newborn, Hubby was walking from the van to the house and slipped on a patch of ice. Everything happened in slow motion right before my eyes. I saw Hubby's feet go out from right under him (his feet did that super fast shuffle that you only see cartoon characters do on TV when they slip on a banana peel). I saw Little One's car seat carrier fly up in the air and out of Hubby's arms and land on the ice, overturned.

Of course, instead of asking if Hubby was okay, I instinctively yelled, "OH, MY GOSH! THE BABY!!! IS THE BABY OKAY?!?!?!"

To be honest, the baby was the only thing I was worried about. Sure, Hubby had a hard fall and injured himself, and I think I may have startled the baby more than anything else.

In all fairness, Hubby wasn't the only one who slipped on ice while carrying the baby. Two winters ago, I was trying to get from the van to the house while clutching onto the baby, my purse, my diaper bag, and two grocery bags. You know, doing the "crazy mama juggle". It was so icy, that I slipped and landed on my behind! I held Little One tightly and dropped everything else. I ended up with a sprained ankle and a bruised ego (okay, and a bruised bum too).

After those incidents, I made sure we always de-iced our walkway.

Now, the problem with road salt is it gets in between our dog's paws and hurts him. It's also messy, not good for the environment, plants, animals, etc. Plus, it always seems to get dragged into the house with everyone's boots (or when the dog comes in)! I can't stand the damage salt does to everything. For example: the salt used to melt the ice in the Winter always ruins my boots, shoes, the bottom of my pants, and it gets all over my van! I can't stand that white salt stain. It's so impossible to get out!

Recently, I was given the opportunity to try out a new and innovative product called EcoTraction.

What is EcoTraction?

It's the smarter alternative to road salt. Made from naturally-occurring volcanic mineral, EcoTraction is eco-friendly, kid-friendly, and pet-friendly.

Simply sprinkle EcoTraction on ice and snow for instant traction and grip! This is also perfect to give to my Mother-in-law and my parents.  I worry about them in the Winter with slipping and falling. Serious damage can be done.

We only had one day recently when it snowed and we had a bit of ice. It didn't last too long, but I made sure to bust out the EcoTraction to see how it would fare. It did a great job, but I am (don't be mad at me!) looking forward to the next snow/ice so I can try EcoTraction out a bit more!

The fact that EcoTraction granules can be swept into the lawn and garden in the Spring after the snow melts and be able to help our lawn grow and thrive is a a big selling point for me. That and the fact that it's safe for our child and pets to be around!

There's an interesting tidbit about EcoTraction that I'd like to share with  you. I am a die hard Dragons' Den fan, so this bit of trivia is of particular interest to me. When EcoTraction founder, Mark Watson's dog died from licking harmful road salts, he developed an all-natural, eco-friendly substance (since there was a lack of options for alternatives). When he presented the product to Dragons' Den for investment, all five dragons went in on the deal! How cool is that? Can I tell you  how much I love Brett Wilson? LOVE!


For other EcoTraction videos, check out them out on YouTube. You can also connect with EcoTraction Twitter and on Facebook.

Exciting Announcement!
Did you know that EcoTraction is a PTPA Award Winner? It's been Parent Tested, Parent Approved and has earned the PTPA Seal of Approval! Knowing that parents like myself have tested and approved and that PTPA endorses this product gives me confidence in this product.

Where to Buy:
You can purchase EcoTraction at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Shoppers Drug Mart, Home Hardware, and other retailers. To find a retailer near you, visit store locations/retailers here.

WIN IT!

When you live in the country, pie baking is not simply an art.  It's a way of life.  Farm wives must know how to bake a good pie.  Why?  There are tons (and I mean tons!) of bake sales, fundraisers, pie sales, community dinners and other events that require the donation of a pie or two.

One of the first things I was asked by a lovely lady in her 90s when I first moved to the Island was, "Can you bake a pie?"

I'm not kidding.  Being able to have the perfect crust and filling that is not from a can is a must around these parts!

I won't lie. I can make a stellar pie. My pie fillings are perfected to a science.  It's just the crust part I have problems challenges with.  First off, my hands are too hot. For perfect pastry dough, you need cool hands. Second of all, I just cannot seem to get the crust right. Ever.

This is why I prefer baking cupcakes, cakes, and cheesecakes instead of fiddling with pie shells!




I  love this Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake.  It's one of my biggest crowd pleasers.  I could have sworn I got the recipe from Emeril Lagasse's website, but can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet.
I don't really eat sweets, but my husband has a sweet tooth.  This is one of his favourites.  Plus, who doesn't love Emeril, right? The man cooks with such gusto, it's hard not to get drawn in!
Emeril Lagasse is a chef, restaurateur, TV personality and bestselling cookbook author. You already knew that though, right? 

Speaking of Emeril (and my need to learn how to bake the perfect pie for all those bake sales and fundraisers we seem to always have on the Island), I've got my eye on this beauty...



How perfect is that for creating individual sized pies, tarts, and other goodies?  This would be great for all my bake sale needs!  Definitely on my list of Must-Haves!

Emeril's Mini Pie and Cupcake Maker bakes individual treats in minutes.

• You can bake 4 individual pies or cakes in 8 to 10  minutes.  
• The non-stick baking surface makes removal and clean up quick and easy.
• The Ready Light signals when pre-heating is complete and ready to use.
• Includes pastry cutter to make customized pie crusts for the tops and bottoms.

Many of you know a few things about me:

• I'm a Mom to a very sweet little girl who is starting JK on Wednesday
• I LOVE hosting dinner parties
• I LOVE cooking and baking
• I LOVE talking food and all things Food Network Canada related
• I'm a huge President's Choice fan
• I'm addicted to Recipe to Riches (Dana McCauley fan here!)
• I'm married to a beef farmer
• I LOVE chatting all things Canadian Beef (they represent the over 83,000 farming families across Canada! How could I not love chatting about them?)
• I'm also an Ambassador for #Love CDNBeef and #SCCTO

With Little One being our first (and only...for now) child, I always fretted over whether or not we were giving her enough stimulation or too much stimulation.  Were we reading enough to her?  Were we singing enough to her?   I am the first to admit that I was one of those moms that worried about everything.

This is why when shopping for toys for Little One, I always wanted to make sure of a few things:

• Safety
• Durability
• Materials used (ties in with safety)
• Age appropriateness 
• Educational aspect
• Does the toy help with Little One's development

One of the first things I noticed when I moved to beautiful Manitoulin Island was that the nights are really dark here.  I mean really, really dark!  With no street lights, stop lights, or light pollution we have in the city, this was a welcomed treat for me.

Moving to the Island enabled me to experience the night sky as it was meant to be experienced.  With the constellations visible, the Milky Way, shooting stars, meteor showers, and even the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), this was indeed Heaven to me.  I sometimes still cannot believe that I get  to experience and soak in so much beauty any time I want to!

People from all over the world flock to Manitoulin Island to appreciate the dark skies. (Below) Photo of the Milky Way viewed from Gordon's Park Eco-Resort on Manitoulin Island. Photo source: Northern Ontario Canada: Rainbow Country.
The dark skies are absolutely breathtaking.

The only thing that concerned me with no lights on the streets at night was the danger factor. I sometimes think, "What if I'm walking from our farm to my mother-in-law's farm at night and passing cars don't see me?" or "What if we're out walking in the evening with Little One and cars don't see us as we're walking?"

It scares me.  The country roads can be pretty dangerous in the dark if you're a pedestrian. I noticed that many people (especially teenagers) don't dress with light clothing or have reflective markings on their jackets.  If they carried a flashlight, that might make things easier for drivers to see them, but most of the time people just wear BLACK. Dark jeans, dark shirts, jackets, and hoodies make it so difficult for visibility.

I was recently introduced to a fabulous company who understands this dilemma.


Safees wants you to been seen and be safe.
Their pedestrian reflectors shine brightly when hit by light from oncoming headlights. Drivers can see that someone is in front of them and know that they need to slow down and pay attention. Dusk, dark, dawn, twilight, rain, and fog are when many accidents occur. Accidents often happen because motorists do not see pedestrians, cyclists, etc. With Safees, they can.

We were given a few Safees reflectors to try out. Little One is quite partial to cats and I really love owls. Safees has a variety of cute designs to choose from.

Needless to say, for a Mom who lives in the countryside where the rural roads are really dark at night, Safees are a must have item for my family.  Whether you live in the countryside or in the city, I firmly believe that Safees are a must have for your loved ones.  My motto is "Always better safe than sorry".
