This is an excellent facial moisturizer it is rich but still nice and light and absorbs well. I use it mostly in the winter when I really need the moisture! I bought it at shoppers drug mart and i did find it a little expensive but you can tell by the quality. If you have time to watch the flyer it does go on sale every once and a while for 20-30% off. That’s when I buy and one jar usually lasts me all winter. -

I bought this dry shampoo because 1) I wanted to try something besides baby powder and 2) I had a P&G;Coupon from pgeverday.ca It was on sale too so I don't regret it but it doesn't work for me. Baby Powder has more consistent results. It is clear so that is nice, you don't need to over-brush it all out.
I have tried it 2-3 different times and I never feel like it is doing anything. I thought the first time that my hair was too greasy and then I tried it again when it wasn't as greasy and it wasn't noticeable either. I wouldn't recommend.

My husband has been consuming protein powder for decades and we have settled on this from LeanFit. We consume it every morning as a part of a breakfast smoothie and my husband will also have it as a recovery drink (with water) after a workout. It does have some additives in it (flavoring and what not) but it's not bad. Since we consume it everyday we would prefer a natural but you just cannot beat the price & convenience of this CostCo buy!
Typically we would spend $70-$80 for a comparable protein from a specialty store (but natural) and this is only $39 at CostCo!
1 tub, with daily use of 1-2 scoops will last us about 6 weeks or so. They do also have a chocolate flavor which I actually don't like I think it tastes kinda synthetic.

This deodorant smells awesome and is effective! My husband uses this and it is his favorite brand and scent. He has tried several other brands over the years and this one is worth the extra money. If you watch you can get it on sale and P&G;often has coupons too which make the price a lot more competitive. -

My daughter still loves these (shes 14 months). We got it and used it as a saucer right away she was about 4 months old and she would sit in there for a while and was very happy to play with the little toys. The different features all have different levels of dexterity required. So at first she would play mostly with the chameleon which sings VERY easily - someone walks by and he starts playing. But don't worry you can turn each piece off separately!! and each one has 2 levels of volume (loud and louder, lol). We are now using it as the walk around play station, which is great (with Mr Chameleon turned off). She still loves the different toys, now her favorite thing is taking out the toucan and the dragon fly and switching which hole they are in. Her attention span is a little shorter, but I think that is just her personality and not the fault of the saucer. It may be because she has had this toy since infancy.
I saw this at Toys R Us for $170! which Is expensive - luckily I did not pay that much. In hindsight though I do think it is worth the price simply on the fact that we are still using it and that it will be used again for our next baby.

Everyone needs a box of these in their cleaning cupboard at all times. Seriously, Magic! I have turned some grungy looking runners into brand new looking runners! Removed some nasty mud build up from our garden sick, and even scrubbed calcium and rust build up off a faucet.
I have tried some discount brands which do work - but not nearly as effectively as Mr. Clean. I would say these are worth the extra cost in order to get the quick and beautiful results.

I love Lysol wipes, they are easy to use and are very strong, I can scrub something and they will not break. I can't really speak to the germ killing effectiveness but I do know that the more I use them the less we seem to be sick.
I do use them to sanitize some of my daughters toys when they are dropped on the floor in the mall or some equally unsanitary place. When I do this I make sure to rinse it under water before giving it back to her. Personally I just don't like the idea of her ingesting even a small amount of Lysol.
I do agree that the regular price can be a little high - so I watch for them to go on sale and stock up.

I have been using this carrier for just over a year. I did a lot of research before purchasing and I knew this was the one I wanted. Primarily because you can use it from infancy until the child is about 2 years old. I didn't want to have to buy another one after the baby was a little older.
The material is heavy duty and really sturdy I like this because it makes me feel safe and that the baby is safe. It also helps distribute the weight evenly. The negative is that it is very warm. If I took baby out in this on a hot day I had nasty back sweat in minutes! But that is just uncomfortable for me so I got over it. I have figured out how to get in and out of the carrier on my own, and mainly use it when I'm alone with the babies.
My one thing that I didn't really think about before becoming a user - I wish it had a pocket! I have no where to put my phone or house keys except under baby's butt, which has worked but isn't ideal. However, I would still really recommend this carrier.

I bought this playard because it was on sale. I wanted a new one because I figured just being at the start of my childbearing years (and the years of my family and friends) that it would get lots of use. I used the change station every day for the first 3 months or so, It was very convenient having a second changing station in our two story house. I am very happy with it. My sister actually told me its the nicest one shes ever used too.
The storage baskets aren't very secure - by the time baby was old enough to reach them she could pull everything out, and once even pulled it down onto herself. Luckily we don't keep anything in there that would have to be kept out of baby's reach.
My only complaint is that the mattress is VERY thin. I wrap a couple blankets around it to add a little padding, and baby doesn't seem to mind.
