It’s something I have dreamed about for 15 years. I have always LOVED dolphins and am mesmerized any time I’m around them (just ask my best friend, Jenny how long I made her stand and watch the dolphins at the Mirage in Las Vegas just over 10 years ago lol). Swimming with them would be an absolute dream…and I was determined to do it at least once. When we planned our vacay to the Barcelo Riviera Maya, my friend, Laura…
We LOVE games. Board games, card games, action games, video games, etc. We just enjoy playing them and are often found getting together with friends to play them. My favorite game of all time is Monopoly, though I haven’t honestly played it in a while because it can take so long. It’s also the game that I only like if I’m winning. Seriously, huge poor sport over here when I’m losing (ie. when I don’t have Boardwalk and Park Place…
I love learning about a new game. Even better, when that game is something we can do with our kids. I was thrilled when I was offered the opportunity to review a game called *Spot It!*and couldn’t wait for it to arrive. The basic idea….55 cards are filled with 8 images in various sizes. Each card has one (and only one) symbol in common with every other card. Your job is to find the common link. Easy enough right? Well,…
One of the things I was most looking forward to for our Mexico holiday was taking the nice camera, despite still not really knowing how to use it (ie. I still totally shoot on auto…). But the plane ride worried me….obviously this camera was not, under any circumstances, going to be put in my checked luggage….but how was I going to safely put it and my lenses in my purse or carry on bag? When I won a Jo Totes…

The Gluten Free Lifestyle *Kellogg’s Rice Krispies*
On our recent trip to the Condo in Whitefish, while grocery shopping I came upon a most fabulous discovery. This summer proved to be a complete *failure* when it came to eating Gluten Free…and yes, I can tell. LOL But even still, my *gluten free product* radar is in high gear. I love seeing products and companies that accomodate such dietary restrictions; It seriously makes me happy. It’s quite possible that after seeing these Kellogg’s Rice Krispies in Walmart that…
In July I spent a couple of nights in Red Deer with my cousin, on my way to Drayton Valley for a week. She was shooting a wedding and I was watching her son (along with my kids) for the day. Wanting something fun to do that would take a good chunk of the day, we decided on swimming at the Collicutt Centre. I wasn’t really sure what to expect at first, but hoped it would be a fun and…
When it comes to swimsuits, I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many. This theory has blasted its way into my daughter’s swimsuit collection and she has often had an entire drawer full. She is finally starting to grow out of some of them, so *in my opinion* is in need of new ones. LOL As a result, I am always on the lookout…so when Lemons and Limes offered to send a suit for my daughter to…
As mentioned in THIS post – we finally hit a point where we are needing to actually purchase clothes for our kids. Until now, we’ve had mainly *pre-loved* clothes which we LOVE. So this summer I was on the lookout for some clothing to add to their wardrobes. Because I had a lot to buy – and for two kids no less – I was looking for quality and affordable pieces. The Sale section at Olive Juice Kids was PERFECT…
We switched our internet and phone provider over a year ago to Shaw. No real reason – we weren’t unhappy with our current provider in any way, we just noticed that Shaw was cheaper. So we switched – of course months after the switch we got several phonecalls from the previous provider offering all sorts of deals. Why don’t they ever offer these to existing customers? Anyways, we have been really happy with Shaw and had no desire to do…
One of the things we love about the Barcelo Resort Complex is that there is no shortage of activities to do. Whether you have young children, teenage children, are empty nesters, or simply taking a *kidless* trip (like we did), there is something for everyone. Some of the *many* activities you can enjoy while staying there are: *Miniature Golf (I didn’t have my camera when we played so sadly, no photos) *Tennis and Ping Pong *Life Sized Chess Game…
