If you’ve got a little girl, you’re probably aware of just how obsessed they can be about wearing certain things. For Olivia, it’s dresses. This girl has thirty dresses in her closet for summer, and she’s been longing for days hot enough like today so she can start wearing them. Browsing through Costco, we found

For parents, Kindergarten is a shock to the wallet. It’s the first year you have school fees, school supplies, clothes and shoes to replace for growth spurts, bus fees, activity fees - and the list goes on. Though the costs accumulate, the information that Olivia comes home with on a daily basis is invaluable. Full

When I opened up an email last week that invited me to take part in a shopping challenge, I was intrigued - that right there? It’s my jam. The lowdown of the challenge is to use retailmenot.com to see who can save the most using the promotions on the popular online coupon code website. My first

Our Zara order from last week arrived today and despite the fact that Olivia was sceptical of the adorable pants, she quickly deemed them the most comfortable pants in the world. The gorgeous leather moccasins were even better once they arrived on our door step, and the price has been reduced from $19.99 (what we

It was part of my goals list this year to start stocking up on things again, whether we’re talking about shampoo and soap for the kids, toothpaste - and shoes in the next size up, for the next season, to stop having to run out or order something quickly online, not at the best price

Thrifting. Oh, I wanted to fall in love with you. I’ve gone a couple of times, come home with a couple of great items (like the not-full price bundt pan I just bought at Homesense!) but as much as I tried to fall in love with you thrifting, it just wasn’t written in the stars

When I first walk in the doors at Target, I am filling my hands before I even grab a basket. The dollar section rivals some of the fantastic things found at Michaels stores, or the dollar store, but more fun, cute and crafty things. The kids love the seasonal socks, and don’t leave a trip

Lego is high on the list this year, and usually something that we buy every single year. This year, it’s Sleeping Beauty and Photo Safari Lego Duplo (with Grandma adding on even more) and the Dolphin Cruiser and Lego movie sets for Olivia - so we know how to get rewarded when it comes to

There’s no denying that during the holidays, we are part of a family that likes to give. The children are fortunate to receive most of the things on their Santa wishlist, creating a holiday that’s full of Santa Magic. After all, Santa Magic is only here for a handful of short Christmas seasons, so while it is - we

Tip: One day a week, take the leftovers from the dinners, the snacks and the cooking and have a lunch or dinner leftovers night. When it comes to making lunches, we’re always looking for things that are simple to make, that I can pull together in under fifteen minutes and that are going to make sure
