Sailun Tires – Track Event! #trustsailun

Becoming a parent has forever altered the way I look at safety and all of our purchases. 
Before children, a car was something that moved me from a to b. Now it holds the most precious cargo to me – my two children! Having a safe, reliable and in good working condition vehicle is essential to me. One of the most important features on your car that is often overlooked are your tires. I was always guilty of this prior to children. I could not even tell when my tires needed to be topped up with air (my husband, an avid car lover, changed this quickly!).

Weather can be so unpredictable – this past week alone we went from 0C to 35C in a span of four days! With such a variety of weather conditions you need to be confident that in an emergency your tires will respond quickly and not slide. 

Sailun Tires, who are also recent PTPA winners, was established in 2002 and manufacture various types of passenger, light truck, medium radial truck and off road tires. You can find more info on each of the four types of tires here. The tires are designed with non directional design allowing for greater cross rotation (who wouldn’t want to maximize on your car tires life span?!) and deep groves. The Atrezzo Touring LS all season tires look perfect for a passenger car combining deep groves and angles for better traction in both wet and dry conditions with pitch designs for quiet and smooth rides. Sounds great doesn’t it?!!

I was invited to attend the Sailun Tires track event in Brampton on June 12th to learn more about their tires and to participate in a test drive! Needless to say, I am super excited to be able to participate in this event – get ready to hear lots of tweets and plenty of pictures of our day – follow #trustsailun to join in on all the fun! You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.

Sailun Tires is ‘with you through every turn’ providing safe, advanced and cost effective tires. Look for more from this PTPA award winner!

Our Little Garden!

I have never had a green thumb. I always try my hardest but somehow my plants and flowers never grow! When we moved, I made a goal with my kids that we would grow a successful vegetable and herb garden. We did as much research as we could, headed out to IKEA to purchase new pots, purchased seeds and began to start our own little garden. 
We also read up on growing sweet peppers from seeds that are found in the peppers you buy in the store. My eldest and I thought this was the neatest idea! From what I read it seemed really easy, just remove the seeds, dry them out and then plant. We weren’t too sure if it would work but we were definitely willing to give it a try. 
I was so shocked (and very very proud!) about the state of our garden. 
These are the peppers we are growing!  Will have to update you all later if they actually bloom in to peppers but I am so proud of them.

These are our herbs that we are growing. A couple of the mini pots had a wee tiny “accident” and fell off the counter so I am pretty sure they are not going to be growing anywhere anytime soon! But two pots made out okay!

Do you grow your own vegetables or herbs? Any tips for this newbie!

ABC Friday Photo Share…T is for Teacups!

Time for this week’s ABC Friday Photo Share with Mom vs the Boys and Maple Leaf Mommy!
This week T is for Teacups!

This is one of the best teacups I ever received. It was given to me by my co-worker and I just fell in love with it (I actually cried when she gave it to me because she means so much to me and has helped me through so much). I love my evening cup of lemon tea while sitting on the porch watching the kids. It is the best way I have found for me to unwind after a long stressful day. Now I get to this with a reminder of the great friends I have in my life!
