Cleaning up for Thanksgiving with Mr. Clean #15minreno #PGmomgiveaway

I like Thanksgiving slightly better than Christmas. You get family time without snow, or the pressure of finding the perfect present. Thanksgiving, like Christmas, involves a tasty meal and family visits which leads to doing the deep clean before guests arrive and the turkey goes in the oven.

I like Mr. Clean Magic Erasers slightly better than my Swiffer WetJet. That Magic Eraser has save me mucho dollars over the years, especially with a preschooler (yes, it's taken "art" off our walls).

This year I'm using Mr. Clean Extra Strength to give my family the cleanest version of my home when they come to visit.

I Love You, You Love Me, Now the only thing on DD's Netflix is Barney #StreamTeam

Until recently, the only Barney on my Netflix was a wicked awesome New Yorker who throughly enjoys high fives, being awesome and making up rules for everyone to follow, while looking great wearing a suit (I'm talking of Mr. Stinson, from How I Met Your Mother, of course).

Hannah has taken to watching Netflix on my MacBook. It's a lot easier for her to scan shows that way, and one day she discovered Barney - the purple dinosaur. As a kid who loves to sing and dance, it was only a matter of time before she became obsessed - and obsessed she is.

When asked, why do you like Barney? Hannah responds, "Well, because he's my friend."

Sesame Place a must visit for Sesame Street fans #SesamePlace

If you could travel anywhere tomorrow, most people would choose to visit an exotic location or travel to family far away. Not me. I'd want to go to Langhorne, Pennsylvania. My family travelled there this summer and our day in Langhorne was by far my favourite of the entire vacation. As soon as we drove away, I immediately wanted to go back. Because, even though Sesame Street is set in New York City, Sesame Place is in Langhorne.

Back-to-School with Walmart Canada and P&G! #BeReady2Roar #Giveaway #Review #PGmomGiveaway

So, it's the first Saturday after back-to-school. How did everyone fair?

Hannah is a January baby so she won't start kindergarten until next fall. However, I work on a university campus and she attends preschool there so it was a hectic week for us nonetheless!

Fresh books and new clothes can go well with a new beauty routine, and P&G have some great products to help you look and feel your best as temperatures start to dip.

Love, Hallmark 7 Card Challenge #LoveHallmarkCA #Giveaway

I still remember when Facebook Chat was introduced and I thought, "I'll never use this." Fast forward to 2015, and that's the way most of my friends and I connect, even more than texting.

I was recently sent 7 cards by Hallmark Canada to participate in the Love, Hallmark 7 Card Challenge. Figuring out who to send the beautiful cards to was easy, in a world where everyone texts for an address to put in their GPS, it was finding out where to mail the cards that proved difficult.
