Sears The Baby’s Room

The Baby's Room

I will never forget shopping for Carter while I was pregnant. It was so exciting to get everything together and organized, but it was also a little stressful. While I was expecting, with Carter, I was overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with medical issues, renovations, stress at work and then I was stressed with what I needed. I lived in a smaller town in Central Alberta at the time and if I wanted anything I had to travel to the city.

1 800 Contacts

1800Contacts

When it comes to family expenses, I try to account and budget for as much as I can but sometimes the little things slip by and I pay for it later (literally). One of the expenses I tend to forget about are glasses. I’m the only one in our family that wears them (so far, I’m pretty sure my husband could use a pair) and even though I need them, I hardly wear them. So when the time comes to get a new pair it’s always a shock to the system to see how much they cost sometimes. $400? $500? $600+? Yeah, that buys me a renovation or that new patio set I’ve been so desperately wanting. That plus I’m not a looker when it comes to glasses, I prefer contacts.

ABC RUG and Carpet Care

As many of you may have read a few times by now, I’m in the middle of a long distance move. I moved 18 hours away from Central Alberta to Coastal British Columbia. With all my checklists of things to do (change addresses, pack, organize my move) I completely forgot about cleaning until the last minute. That’s when I realized I wasn’t going to have time to clean my house not to mention shampoo my carpets.

Wine By The Case

Wine By The Case

As I get older I’m beginning to appreciate the little things in life: sunny days, quite and relaxing evenings, and fabulous meals paired with Fine Wines. It’s those things that can take an ordinary day into something extraordinary. I think it’s time to broaden my horizons from the typical liquor store varieties to discovering more classic wines from the hills of Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy. Tesco Wine is a great way to get started, as I have much to learn.
