This was the first big toy we bought for our daughter. I was staying with my parents for a few months while we were waiting to move into our new place, and I was trying to find toys with a lot to amuse my daughter so I could minimize the clutter I brought to their house. This kept her interest for long lengths of time. There are sounds and lots of cute little songs. It can be used at floor-level when they're very small, and then you can attach the legs to raise it up when they get a little bigger.
My second daughter used to push this thing around the room when she was learning how to walk. Not a recommend use for the product, but it worked for her :)

I was hesitant to buy the Kobo eReader Touch because I'd owned the original Kobo eReader and had some difficulties with. Luckily, I was given the Kobo eReader Touch for my birthday and have been enjoying it for several years now.
I love how easy it is to upload new books and to turn the pages. The built-in dictionary is great too because so often when I'm reading and come across and unfamiliar word I think, 'I'll look that up later' and never do. This gives you the ability to look it up instantly.
This eReader supports the ePUB format which means it is compatible with most Canadian libraries, so you can read lots of books for free too!

This is probably my all-time favourite novel.
It has everything, comedy, drama, and romance. The language is beautiful and the dialogue is witty.
There is a reason it has stood the test of time and has gone on to be adapted into movies and used as the basis for countless unauthorized sequels.
Admittedly, the book sat on my shelf for years before I finally decided to give it a read, but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
People think the classics are either difficult to read or boring. Just give Pride and Prejudice a try. You won't be disappointed!

Little Tikes EasyScore Basketball Net

My daughter begged us for one of these. I was hesitant as often she begs for a new toy and then it isn't played with at all after a day or two. When the weather is warm though, this gets played with every day.
It's adjustable, so it grows with her. We can lower it down for her younger sister who now wants a turn too.
Surprisingly, it has offered some imaginative play in addition to being an adjustable basketball net. The kids are always trying to think of new things to use as balls and practice throwing through the net. Just the other day they hauled it out of the garage to see who could get the most snowballs through the hoop.

I don't live close to a brick and mortar The Children's Place, but I use their online store frequently. Actually, I'd say about 95% of my kids' clothes are from The Children's Place.
Their sales are amazing and my kids love their clothing. I can almost always find exactly what I'm looking for.
I have had a few mistakes in my orders over the past few years, but I can say that they were dealt with immediately and very fairly. I never worry when I order from them. Their telephone customer service is among the best I've encountered.

Possibly the best yogurt I've ever tasted!
I picked some of this up a few weeks ago because our regular brand was out of stock. This is our new "regular brand."
It's thick and creamy, and the flavours are really incredible. We bought lemon, and it was like eating lemon meringue pie. Even my kids, notoriously picky eaters, loved this stuff and, believe it or not, chose it over a slice of chocolate cake for desert!

What girl growing up didn't love her Lip Smackers? I can remember wearing these things around my neck, on keychains, and attached to my backpack.
When I was shopping with my little girl I was excited to see they still make these. She was excited to see all the different flavours. She usually can't stand the feeling of having anything on her lips, so getting her to put anything on her lips is always a challenge. She was so excited about the flavours and smells of these; however, that now she asks me several times a day if it's time to put it on again. She hasn't had chapped lips in months.
I hope they never stop making these!

I was so happy to discover these. It's hard to find a natural product that offers a coloured lip at such an affordable price. I've always been a fan of Burt's Bees, so giving these a try was a no-brainer.
I was pleasantly surprised with the colour and the pleasing texture of the product. I keep three of these (three different colours) in my purse at all times now.

It spreads easily and always brings smiles to the table at breakfast and lunch.

This is my top pick for lipbalm. I always keep a few in the house. It's one of the few that my husband is willing to use too. The packaging is gender neutral and the lip balm doesn't leave any colour on your lips.
It will keep your lips from chapping and has a refreshing cooling feel to it.
