Psst... You Still Here?

I am! ... well, kinda. My "real" life has trumped my bloggy life since going back to work this past September and frankly, I've had a hard time managing it all - 3 kids, 3 schedules, an etsy shop (found HERE), a hubby and a FT job... just to name a few.

Sooo... my bloggy life will not be as active as it once was. BUT, I'll still stop in from time to time to offer up some of my Momm-ims and a few great giveaways so I hope you'll find the time to check back.

On deck... life, a beanie giveaway and $50 from EdenFantasys! :)

Snack Pack Smile Campaign

The Holiday season is fast approaching and it's easy to get caught up in the pressure and business. That is why I was delighted to be chosen to share a unique and positive campaign going on right now with the people at Snack Pack.

Snack Pack is spearheading the "Snack Pack Smile Campaign". It's super simple and helps support Food Banks Canada! Want to help? All you have to do is "Like" Snack Pack Canada on Facebook...

AND, share a moment that has made you smile. Each day there will be a "Smile" for you to accept and everytime you accept the daily smile and post on their wall Snack Pack will DONATE $1 to Food Banks Canada!!

Not only will Snack Pack Canada donate $1 for every smile post, you'll also be entered into their WEEKLY prize draw - it's truly a WIN-WIN!

Now for a little 'smile' from me... Our family decorated our Christmas tree last night and as you know, I have 3 girls aged 5, 5, and 2. Well my hubby and I couldn't get the ornaments and decorations out fast enough! They were ornament hanging machines! Fast forward 10 minutes, hubby and I turn around to take a look and ALL the ornaments were on the bottom half of the tree, sometimes with 2-4 ornaments per branch! And guess what?! I'm not even going to change it - it looks great! :)

Head on over to Snack Pack Canada's Facebook page and share a smile :)

Spa Sisters - Review & GIVEAWAY!

Like most women, I enjoy my alone time in the bathroom… time to have a hot shower, shave, pluck the eyebrows; you know, all the necessities! Reality however means that I always seem to have at least one little body underfoot.

I was recently introduced to a Canadian company - Spa Sisters who offer a line of spa products that are truly natural. Spa Sisters, according to their website, carefully select fair traded, pure and natural ingredients for their products.

I was given a choice as to which product I’d like to review and I chose the Kids’ Mandarin Bubble Bath. I was delighted when they sent a full sized bottle of mandarin goodness AND 2 other ‘mommy products’.

Now to give you a little history, we had to stop using bubble bath with my girls because their skin was too sensitive. I had reservations about trying this product. To my delight, we have used a third of the bottle with NO skin irritations! What’s more, is that you don’t need to empty a quarter of the bottle into the water to make a sufficient amount of bubbles.

The first time we used the bubble bath Miss H came up the stairs and shouted with excitement, “It smells like oranges!” and IT DOES! The mandarin scent is quite lovely and not harsh at all! My girls LOVE having bubbles in the bath again and really look forward to spending time in the tub!

Spa Sisters offer a number of natural, handmade products for the entire family! What a great holiday gift idea!!

Check out these goodies that caught my eye…

Bum Balm – 100% natural and contains NO ZINC!

Body Meringue – loaded with tropical butters for that awful winter skin – I know you get it ;)

Lip Butter – available in 7 luscious flavours!

Want to get you hands on some of this natural goodness? The ladies at Spa Sisters will hook you up!

BUY IT!

Head on over to Spa Sisters and choose some truly great pampering products. Enter “Word” into the promo code box and receive 10% off of your purchase!!

WIN IT!

Win a $25 GC to Spa Sisters! This sure would make gift giving easier this season… or maybe you’ll need a little pampering once everything is said and done! Enter below for you chance to win.
