I've always loved tootsie pops. These things are great. Fruity flavours surrounding a nice little lump of tootsie roll. How can you go wrong with a tootsie pop? They're great for covering with a little bit of white cloth or even a napkin, tying off, and drawing a little face to make cute favours and treats for Halloween. -

This makes a delicious cake. Whenever I let my daughter pick out the flavour, this is her pick. It has a great taste and pretty little coloured dots throughout. It comes out perfect every time.
If you like making cake mix cookies, these make just about the best flavour. Top them with a little bit of icing glaze and people will be begging you for the recipe!

Tim Hortons Boston Cream Doughnut
This is my favourite Tim Horton's doughnut. I'm not usually a big fan of doughnuts, but these are delicious! They're filled with a sweet custard-like cream and topped with a chocolate icing. Yum :)

I really like these chocolates. I think they make a great gift because of the variety of flavors. They're also good to put out at a gathering or add into treat bags since they are individually wrapped.
My favorite is the marzipan. I wish you could buy a box of just marzipan as well as the variety package.

Cadbury Mini Eggs
I love these things! They're delicious. They have one of the best candy-coatings. They're really cute done up in little bags at Easter. They look cute sitting in tiny baskets at the dinner table, and they're also great for decorating cupcakes.

I've been using this cream for a month now. The stretch marks I had weren't too bad, but I have seen them improve. I think moisturizing in general improves stretchmarks, and this is a great moisturizer. I love that it doesn't have a strong scent and isn't greasy as I like to put it on before going to bed.
Out of curiosity I have also been using this cream on a scar from a bad burn. I have had great results. The skin seems much softer and and I think it has improved the look of the scar as well.

This is my new favourite diaper cream. It seems lighter than most I've used in the past, but that could be a result of someone finally putting it in a nice tube instead of a little pot. I have to say, that alone almost won me over. When you're diapering a child, there's something about sticking your finger in and out of a pot of cream that just doesn't seem as hygienic as squeezing it from a tube.
I liked the texture of this cream, it was easy to apply and didn't leave a heavy white mark if it touched my daughter's clothing. It also didn't separate as many diaper creams tend to.
I can say that while my daughter had a few spots when I began testing this product, they disappeared quickly and there are no signs of diaper rash now. I use cloth diapers, so if my daughter wets while sleeping, she can spend 8 hours or more in a wet cloth diaper. Anything that can stave off diaper rash under those conditions is pretty impressive.
As a side note. I put a little of this on heat rash with good results as well!

I love this eye cream, and I'll definitely be buying more when this tube is finished.
I have avoided eye creams in the past as I found many of them to be irritating to my sensitive eyes. This cream didn't bother them in the slightest. Actually, if felt quite soothing, especially putting it on at the end of the day.
There is no objectionable scent, and the texture is great, not too heavy, but not watery either.The tube is convenient and well designed - no leaks, no build-up.
The area around my eyes looks better than ever. The fine lines don't show up so much when I use this cream, and I think my dark circles look reduced as well.
Someone I encountered this week actually thought I was in my early twenties.....no one thought I was in my early twenties when I actually was in my early twenties. lol. That is one of the many reasons this cream will be a keeper!

These are a great idea. You fill the little net with food so your baby can eat it without having to worry about them choking on pieces. Only small amounts and juices will pass through the netting. This is especially good if you want to take a baby out to breakfast or something and not have to bring separate baby food or a handmill and they aren't old enough for fork-mashed food yet.
They are also great for giving little ones frozen fruit to gnaw on when they are teething.
My biggest complain with these is that you need to remove the food immediately or they are really hard to clean. I tried putting mine through the dishwasher, but they came out looking dirtier than they went in. The nets also start to look pretty gross after a few uses. I think they would be better if they were coloured rather than white nets. The nets do seem to last well though. I have never had one come apart.
They are easy to grip and the kids seem to like them, but they only seem to want them during a very short phase, so there's no need to go out and buy a bunch of them or a bunch of replacement nets.

This product was a lifesaver for me. I had one of those babies who didn't sleep and who nursed every hour around the clock. I spent those first few months of motherhood a sleep-deprived zombie. Without the Itzbeen life would have been a lot more difficult.
This is a great little tool that lets you keep track of when you've fed the baby, when the baby went to sleep, when the baby had its diaper changed, when it had its medicine, etc. There is a timer that counts up, and you can set it to light up after a certain time period has passed for each thing. For example, in the hospital I was told I had to feed the baby every three hours, and to change the baby every two hours. I was able to keep track of both these things despite my room not having a clock and having had removed all jewelry including my watch. To be clear, the button lights up for each activity, so if you wake in the middle of the night, one quick glance tells you whether it's time to feed the baby or give the baby medicine, etc. You hit the button once to say you've done it, and it starts counting up again.
There is also a little light on it which is helpful if you need to see something but don't want to wake your baby by turning the room lights on.
I've given several of these away as shower gifts and they were always well received. I know there are apps available that do this stuff, but this one was so simple and easy to use that I prefer it to something I have to use on my phone. Plus, you know if you pick up your phone in the middle of the night you're going to get sidetracked when you should be sleeping.
As an additional vouch for the quality of this little helper, It once slipped off my belt (it has a clip) and into the bath I was pouring. Once it dried out it worked just as well as it ever had.
