I’m not a camping person, but I do love nature walks in and around the wooded areas and Lakes of Nova Scotia. I find our summers and autumns tend to bring out a lot of mosquitos so i always wear and carry bug spray on my walks.
Recently, I bought …

I have always had a difficult time staying hydrated and this has only increased exponentially since becoming pregnant. I’ve been very worried that the baby growing inside me may not be getting all the fluids it needs because of my inability to get enough water or even know …

It would not be Sunday in our house if we didn’t sleep in, get the paper, and make tons of yummy pancakes. Everyone here has their own favorite combination of batters, fruits, and syrups. My dad’s a blue berry man, while mom is strawberries and whipped cream. …

Just recently, we did a lot of shuffling around in the house, including getting rid of an automatic dishwasher that just didn’t work. The only reason I regretted its loss is that it was topped with a really nice wooden cutting board. I used it regularly since …

I like this kettle a lot! It has different temperature settings - you can heat up the water to either 40, 60, 80 or 100 degrees Celsius, which is really handy. Using the device is really easy too, you set the temperature with “set temperature” button (the red light …

There are a number of reasons to purchase one or more steel thermoses nowadays. You don’t have to be a hunter in winter, or even a construction worker to enjoy the benefits of these fine products. Having driven commercially for many years, I found that a good quality steel …

Sometimes around the house things get dusty and then you have to be able to wipe them down. And of course the more powerful the product is the better since sometimes some of us let things get dustier than others. Wood needs regular care and maintenance to retain its …

I was at the store last night and I realized I needed to pick up some trash bags. Since I was at a grocery store rather than Walmart, garbage bags were more expensive than I normally like to pay so I ended up deciding on the Food Club brand …

I had been seeing commercials for Mr Clean Magic Eraser for years, but every time I thought about purchasing it, the price scared me off and I decided against it. It’s a rather expensive product for what you get - 2 sponges. But recently it was on …
