This year for Christmas, instead of my husband and myself buying gifts for eachother - we decided to treat eachother to a night TOGETHER!  Having a hectic and busy job (him) and myself being a stay-at-home-mama to our 22 month old, we thought it would be nice to get away for a night and spend some quality time together.   As it was Christmas time, our funds were on the low side (...

 Day- Timer makes an excellent planner. I have the dark brown one. It is very well made and has inside pockets for papers and cards. I love the size of this Day- Timer and it has alot of room in it. It was very well made and has been very useful. I have had this day-timer for several years. It looks like new. It has been carted around with me and flipped open , hundreds of times. It has a ...

I tried this vitamin because I found myself without a lot of energy to get through my busy day. I have been pleasantly surprised that it does help. You won't find yourself speeding through your tasks, but it does keep me more alert and gives me some extra energy. This is a multi-vitamin, so you will want to replace this with whatever you are taking now. The cost is about the same as you wou...

I first bought these daily vitamins as part of a new weight loss program. In the past, vitamins have tended to make me feel sick and I would stop taking them. These vitamins have never made me feel sick. They are formulated for all day energy and they certainly live up to their label. I was very surprised at how alert and energized i felt after just the first day! i usually take these vitamins ...

Jamie Olivers book "Happy days with the naked chef" is a fantastic read, and so easy to follow. This hardback book comes with colour illustrations and has 317 pages. The recipes do actually come out the same as the pictures. One of my favourites featured is Jamies warm bread salad of crispy pancetta with parmesan and poached egg. The first time i cooked this i was pleasantly surp...

The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of the best movies that I have seen in the movie theater's in a long time, because it had everything that a movie lover would want in a movie. I went to see this movie the first day that it came out with my friends, and honestly this was one of my top movies that I have watched so far. There were many great things and aspects about this movie that I real...

I have always been intrigued by royal jelly. This jelly is supposed to be highly nutritive with a total of 134 vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. It is a type of food made in hives by "worker bees" in hopes of producing "queen bees." That begs the question: why would bee food be in a face cream, and why am I slathering my neck with it? Burt's Bees Radiance ...

I bought the Creative Activities Little Bear Rainy Day Activities for rainy days for my grandchildren  when they came over.   It has been a wonderful success and the children really like it.   I think it is geared to 3 through 5 years of age and I've had my grandchildren from 3 to 8 continue to play with it.    Little Bear has a rainy day experience a...

I have recently picked up Rachael Ray's magazine - Every Day With Rachael Ray. This was the October issue. I really like the magazine and plan to subscribe to it. I really like Rachael's personality. She's cute, down to earth and completely unpretentious. I like her meal ideas. The fact that she's well known for her 30 minute meals is probably another reason I'm drawn to her...

 Awhile ago, I went looking online for a foundation that was long lasting. I came across a website that said makeup artists use a primer to hold the foundation which makes it last longer. A primer will also make applying the foundation easier.  So I purchased Cover Girl's Outlast All Day Liquid Makeup which contains 2 products in 1, a primer (which contains sunscreen) as...

LL Bean has some great packs, I have used this on many occasions, travelling - the cottage - hikes and weekend trips. It is large enough for everything to fit into it, but still the perfect size to be wearable while you are trekking through the city, or through the woods. It is such a versatile bag, clearly functional and styled for hiking, but funky enough to wear through the town. This would ...

I loved playing this game when I was little and honestly it taught me some valuable life lessons.  Children my age simply didn't understand finances, we thought money was just something adults had.  We weren't familiar with the concept of Pay Day.Pay Day is a delightful game that teaches children where all the money goes during the month.  At the end of the month, each pl...

I have always been a fan Estee Lauder's lipsticks. When they came out with the All Day Lipstick, I definitely wanted to try it. If you purchase in the store or on their official website, it is a bit more expensive. Ebay is great because you can find really great deals so this was reasonably priced. The color of this All Day Lipstick is Pink Toffee. Normally I am not a big fan of pink on my ...

The Perfect Day by Sugar cosmetics is a great palette of 8 eye shadows.  Four of the colors are large in size and considered "neutral" -- they are a matte pale peach, a matte very light brown, a shimmery pale copper/peach, and a shimmer dark navy.  The first three would make great base, or eyelash to eyebrow colors; I think the navy, which is quite dark, would work best as e...

The Fisher Price Little People Busy Day Home was recommended by numerous friends as a favorite toy of their toddlers.  I saw it on sale and figured I'd give it a try as a holiday gift.  My daughter loved it immediately!  The main piece of the play set is the home.  It is built sturdily and is of high quality, like all the Little People sets.  It does need 2AA batter...

Covergirl Smoothers All Day Hydrating Make-Up is one of the products I use repeatedly, buying a new bottle as soon as the old one runs out. This foundation makeup is sold in 1 fl.oz. plastic bottles. Being rather pale-skinned, I usually purchase Creamy Natural (#720) of Buff Biege (#725) shade. Moderately priced yet of very good quality, this makeup meets my daily needs perfectly well, smoothin...

Does what we do matter? To us? To other people? To the world? What would you do if you were forced to live the same day over and over? That is precisely what Phil Connors (Bill Murray) has to figure out in Groundhog day. Phil feels like his life is going no where and then he finds out it literally isn't: going anywhere that is because he is living the same day over and over. At first he is ...
