The Last Big Storm?? #WW

We had quite the last snowfall this past week! It was such an odd combination of snow, ice and slush! I loved the way it looked on the tree branches.

ABC…..H is for Hiking!

It’s that time of the week again! Time for the ABC Friday Photo Share brought to you by Mom vs the Boys and Maple Leaf Mommy!
This week H is for hiking!

I was a member of the Girl Guides of Canada for over ten years and they developed my love of nature and being outdoors and I hope to pass this love on to my boys.
We are lucky enough that we live super close to the city but are surrounded by such beautiful nature trails and it is not uncommon to see deer in the morning as we get ready to go to school (I will admit the first time we saw a deer a couple of feet away on this trail I had a small freak out and made my eldest son sing really loud with me in the hopes that it wouldn’t come closer- was having nightmares of being attacked by a deer similar to the ones they show on TV all the time!!).
This little hiking trail is one of our favourites and has been lovingly nicknamed, Shrek’s Forest!
You can link up your ABC Friday Photo Share here.

Woolzies Dryer Balls Teaser!

We had an awesome mail day yesterday – we received a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls to try out and review! I was really looking forward to receiving this shipment for various reasons. Most importantly being that the product softens naturally, is100% eco-friendly, chemical free and hypoallergenic!. 
Our family suffers from a wide variety of allergies and sensitive skin (including eczema) so having products in the house that are hypoallergenic and natural are very important. I am also trying to learn as much as I can about new eco-friendly products in an effort to become a more green family.

The dryer balls are so neat looking – my son actually thought they were tennis balls!
We will be trying them out over the next two weeks, so come back to hear my review and participate in a giveaway!
If you have a chance – check them out on Facebook or their website.
Let me know if you have tried them out before and what you think!

Pink Shirt Day – Support Anti-Bullying

Today my family and I are wearing pink to support such an important cause – to help stop bullying.
Bullying is a huge problem in our school systems, workplaces and even through social media. It needs to stop. It is time to bring awareness and teach our children about how words can hurt and that they can leave a lasting mark.
Does your child’s school participate in Pink Shirt Day? Will you be wearing Pink today to show your support against bullying?
