About Me: I am 26 yearso old, a stay at home mother and a writer at heart. I lovew watching movies, reading books, playing video games and playing with my children. I am married and have two beautiful daughters the oldest of which is with me in my profile picture. I am always trying to learn things and I love to give advice (When asked)
I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and although they are out of diapers now, they used to have diaper rashes just like any other child. I tried a number of different products in my quest to keep their bottoms dry and comfortable. I used so many in fact that I started to wonder if there were any diaper creams that actually did what they were supposed to. I found that most of the creams would wipe off my children's bottoms after a few minutes of walking or crawling in their diapers. By the time they actuall...
This is what I call a ‘Must Have' for everyone with a kitchen and/or bathroom that they hate cleaning. I have a glass top stove that means that the burners are hidden. Great for cooking, not so well for cleaning. The glass surface scratches easily, this posed a big problem for me. If anything spilled and/or burned on the surface of the stove, it was next to impossible to clean without the aid of an abrasive. My mom recommended that I try Vim. She has a lot of Marble surfaces in her house, those too scratch easily...
I used to buy Kando wipes to help my children feel more grown up in the bathroom. Since then I have recently tried a different product. I was at the store getting ready to purchase my usual children's bathroom wipes when I came across something different and a little cheaper. Since it was from a brand name that I trust, I decided that it couldn't hurt to try it. I am very glad that I did. I purchased Teddy's Choice "On my Own" flushable wipes. They come in refill packages and you get 2 packs, each wit...
Over the years I have purchased more than a few men's deodorant sticks for my husband. We are always trying to find a deodorant stick that will stop his sweating and make him smell great at the same time. Unfortunately for the most part, doing that is easier said then done. Most of the deodorants that we have tried only cover up the smell of the body odor. If that isn't bad enough, the fact that he has to re-apply it several times a day, was more than enough to make us try to find a better brand. Most deodorant sti...

"Always - Ultra Thin pads review"
Mother Nature has been "kind" enough to bring women a "gift" that comes to us monthly. The menstruation cycle is something that most women are familiar with. Having your period is never fun, having a pad on that doesn't work, is even worse. I used to be one of those women that believed that the bigger the pad, the better the coverage. I was wrong, big time. I have watched a few commercials advertizing for different products, but I have always believed that they are all pretty much the same.
Hilroy Subject Notebook.I am currently doing home schooling. I am taking a freelance writer's course and as such, I take more notes than you would imagine. I had a very large storage and organization issue. I had so many pages of notes that I was loosing track of them faster than I could finish them.I finally decided that I would have to do something about the problem. I was at my local Real Canadian Super Store searching for a solution to my problems. I was browsing the stationary isle, when I came across ...
I have very sensitive skin. Because of that fact, it can sometimes be very difficult to find a soap that is gentle enough to use on my skin, but tough on dirt and grime. My husband and I normally purchase Ivory brand hand and body soap but on our last shopping trip, we decided to try something different. We came across a promotional offer for Irish Spring deodorant soap. There were eight bars, 90g in size, in a package and it cost less than $3 dollars. We decided that because it was such a good deal, what could it hurt? So...
Most floor cleaners can leave a waxy, stick residue behind. This cleaner however, does not. In fact the only thing that this cleaner leaves behind is a shinny, clean floor. Some floor cleaners can also be very costly; this one again, wasn't like other cleaners. This floor cleaner only cost $6.00 for a 940ml bottle. This floor cleaner is oil-free, which means that it leaves your floors shinny, and not slippery. Overall I have to say that Armstron Ceramic and Linoleum floor cleaner, is by far the best floor cleaner that ...
My husband and I normally use Pepto Bismol when we suffer from heartburn. This past weekend we decided to try something different. Instead of the regular name brand we normally buy, I decided to purchase Life Brand Bismuth. This brand is sugar free which is always a plus, and it still comes in Cherry flavor. Once my husband used this product, I decided to ask him a few questions about it. Firstly my husband told me that he actually preferred the taste of this product versus our old brand. Secondly he told me that this prod...
I have two daughters, one is three years old and the other is two years old. Neither one of them is very fond of brushing their hair. The fact that they are constantly running, jumping and playing together, can often mean a mess of tangles to deal with before bed and in the morning. Before it was a big task, I would have to chase them around the house, trying to catch them every time they saw me coming with the hair brush. I was at my mother's house one day and I ended up giving them a bath. When my mother saw the trou...

"Colgate Kids"
I had a hard time getting my children to brush their teeth. Most of the toothpastes available did not appeal to my daughters. Some of the so called "Children's" toothpastes, actually burned their mouths when then used them. Thankfully I have finally found a brand of toothpaste that works great, that tastes good, and prevents cavities. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first after all I personally, don't like the idea of using flavored toothpastes. Once my two daughters tried the Colgate kid...
There are a lot of dish soaps on the market today that can leave your skin feeling tight and dry. I have ecema and after washing a sink full of dishes, my hands are usually left feeling tight, dry and itchy. I have tried a lot of different dish soaps, in hopes that I would find one that does its job without destroying my hands in the process. Finally, I have. I recently purchased President's Choice relaxing aromatherapy dish soap. This dish soap boasts of soothing essences of Bergamot, Lavender and Jasmine. Unlike most...
I have very dry skin and because of that, I find myself buying a lot of lotions. I really need a cream that will provide long lasting skin moisture. It is for that reason why I never waste my money buying creams that don't work. I also dislike heavy unnatural fragrances'; these types of creams are usually hard on my skin. I ended up coming across the Healing Garden moisture body lotion. This is a relaxing therapy that was green tea as a major ingredient. As I read the bottle, this is what it says: Infused with peon...

"Chicken Soup anyone?"
I have read more than my far share of books, all of which posses their own unique qualities. I do have a few favorites however, which tend to stand out more than the other. I prefer reading fantasy and fiction books. I guess you could say that they give me a short escape from reality. I do read non-fiction books as well and one of my favorite books in that genre is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. This was one of my favorite books that I had the pleasure of reading as I was growing through my teen years. I know that ther...

"Game review"
My husband and I decided to rent a video game this weekend. We wanted a game that we could play with my sister, so it had to be a multi-player game. We finally came across the perfect game, Game Party 2 for Wii. This game actually contains a few different games, inside of one. You can choose to play a variety of games including: puck bowling, horse shoes, lawn darts, football, bean bag toss, ping cup, shuffle board, hoops, skill ball, a question and answer challenge and a trivia game. Each time that you select a game, you ...
I have tried more than a few deodorant sticks in my quest, to find one that works and smells great too. I know that there are a lot of people out there that claim, all deodorants work the same. I disagree. Most in fact only use scents to cover up your body odor. Finally I have found a deodorant that really works. Originally it was the 55% bonus size that prompted me to buy this product. Once I tried it however, I was hooked. Lady Speed Stick deodorants come in a wide variety of scents. My favorite is the Powder Fresh scent...
Before I had children, I used to think that baby powder was just something to use after bath time. There always seemed to be a few spots on my body that just refused to be towel dried, that's when baby powder would come in handy for me. Then I had children and I found a whole new use for baby powder. As parents, we are all concerned with ensuring that our babies have a dry and comfortable bottom. Most parents know that younger children need more frequent changing. This wasn't always easy on my baby's bum, until...
My children have sensitive skin and because of that, I have to be very careful about which products I use on their skin. Diaper wipes are an important product in our household, finding the right brand is not always easy. I have tried more than a few different brands. Our normal brand is Teddy's choice unscented, but we came across a brand that a friend of mine had recommended to me. We decided to buy them and try them out. The Pampers Stages Clean n' Go wipes, come in a 60 wipes package and cost about $5.00. This p...

"Eclipse - Eclipse review"
I was recently introduced to the Twilight series of books; I have to say that I fell in love. Stephenie Meyer is one of the most talented authors that I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. She is absolutely brilliant in her writing; she definitely has a way with words. Her characters seem to come alive in your imagination. I have read the entire series more times than I can count, and I never seem to get tired of it. I have recently purchased Eclipse, which happens to be my favorite book in the series. It is in th...
