While I am not thrilled to think that the holiday season will soon be upon us, I am thrilled to find fabulous new products, toys and services. So when Melissa & Doug contacted me with their Terrific Twenty List and Giveaway, I knew it was something I had to share with you!

I don’t know about you, but I find it really easy to feed my children well. However, when it comes to me, I am getting stinking lousy at it! With the change in season, and the rush of school activities and holidays ahead, it would make perfect sense to eat well for my own health. But here I am, a little under the weather and I should have practiced what I always preach.

I always feel bad for children that suffer from severe eczema. It can be so painful and it can take years for it to go away, if ever. That’s why I am so happy to be part of La Roche-Posay Canadacampaign helping 100 families across Canada live a more comfortable life with eczema.

I wanted to mention to my local readers that if you want to extend the life of Halloween for your little ones, head over the Upper Canada Village. We took our children to see Punpkinferno and it was amazing!

I am a fan of the 80s. There, I said it. I can’t be sure why, except for the fact that it was bright and happy and bouncy, and for a kid, it was a great era to live in. So when I found out ShesConnected was having a 80s theme party during the conference weekend, I was excited!

Last year I went to SCCTO as a newbie blogger and had an amazing time. The staff, brands and other bloggers welcomed me with open arms. I was blown away with the magnitude of the blogging community.
