Live Clean (baby) Perfume Free Baby Lotion and Perfume Free Tearless Shampoo & Wash ~ #Review & Giveaway

My daughter has very sensitive skin so I have to be extra careful of what I put on her body to prevent her eczema from breaking out.  I find it is easier to use baby products on her skin. One brand that my daughter uses is Live Clean (baby) products.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory: 2015 Easter Edition ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Spring is finally here and Easter is less than two weeks away.  It is time to purchase some chocolates for Easter.  I have to be careful when I say the word chocolate in my house. They would come running and always seeking out if there are any. My daughters and I are big on chocolates. Watch out! My youngest daughter would even cry if I am in between her and her chocolate. My family was super excited to see when I brought home some Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory treats..

Littlest Pet Shop: Pet Shop Pals Bring Home the Adventures on DVD March 17, 2015

I am always looking forward to the next Littlest Pet Shop DVD release.  I think I like the TV show more than my daughters.  I could play any Littlest Pet Shop DVD multiple of times and not get tired of it.   What I really enjoy in each DVD are the songs.  They are fun and enjoyable.  In this DVD it showed Blythe has a crush in one of the episodes.  I hope they will reveal more information in the later episodes.  I am a sucker for romance. I can't wait for the next DVD to see more adventures with Blythe and her pet friends.

We are big cereal munchers.  Depending on how busy we are, we might eat it for lunch and dinner.  Sometimes I even pack it dry for my daughter snack.   Don't be surprised when there are even times a whole box of cereal is emptied and it was just purchased that day.  I bet by now we have seen and/or heard Mini-Wheats infamous catchy commercials:

"My little story takes place on a tropical villa
I feel in love with a flavour, yes it was vanilla
Mini…….wheats wheats wheats I want the vanilla for so long
Mini wheats wheats wheats its high in fiber you can’t go wrong
Vanilla flavour mixed with wheat put em together you cant be beat
Vanilla flavour mixed with wheat tastes so good, what a treat."

Microsoft Helping Canadian Students Save up to $200M with Free Office Software ~ #PR

MICROSOFT HELPING CANADIAN STUDENTS SAVE UP TO $200M WITH FREE OFFICE SOFTWARE

Canadian students from Kindergarten to Post-secondary are now empowered to do more

TORONTO, March 16 – Microsoft Canada today announced that over 4 million Canadian students and their families – from Victoria to St. John’s are eligible to access Office at no cost from their schools through their Office for Students program.

With Office for Students, Microsoft will help Canadian students and their families save up to $200 million, providing an unparalleled degree of access to the tools that Canadians students need to succeed, both at learning and as they prepare to enter the workforce.

A recent IDC study, Skill Requirements for Tomorrow’s Best Jobs, concluded that proficiency in the use of Office is seen as a fundamental skill by top-grossing, high-growth employers making Microsoft’s commitment all the more meaningful. 

“We know that students who are proficient in Microsoft Office have a leg-up when entering the job-market,” said Marc Seaman, VP of Education at Microsoft Canada. “Our goal, with this offer, is to provide students with the tried and tested tools they need to help be successful today and in the future.”

Any student enrolled in a district school board or individual school which has purchased Microsoft Office for use by its faculty and staff can now log on and can download the full Office functionality across PCs and Macs, iPads, Android tablet, iPhones, and Android phones – at no cost for use at home and in the classroom. Parents and students can check their eligibility and download Office today by visiting Microsoft.ca/freeoffice.

“Microsoft recognizes that in today’s environment, barriers – whether they are technical or financial – that separate students from such tools must be overcome,” says Seaman. “By making Office for Students free of charge, we are removing that barrier and freeing students to choose the technology platform they want, based solely on preference.”

With the goal of arming their students with the Office advantage, several schools are already offering their students Office at no cost. One school district that made Office available to their students is Louis Riel School Division. Officials at this Manitoba board have noted that Office is changing the way their 10,000 students engage with technology.

“Hands down, Microsoft’s OneNote is probably one of the best programs for education,” said Clarke Hagan, Director of Information Systems at Louis Riel School Division.  “It’s a real game changer for our classrooms, the software allows real time and non-real time collaboration that can actually be used to customize the instruction and provide for better learning.”

Another such school board is School District No. 42 in Maple Ridge, British Columbia - where they use Office to level the playing field for all students.  “We have such a broad base of students from different socio-economic backgrounds,” David Vandergugten, Director of Education with School District No. 42.  “The Office for Students program provides true equality of technology and of program delivery for every student.”

“We congratulate those schools and boards who have joined with us on this initiative,” said Seaman. “It builds on the longstanding commitment of Microsoft’s partnership with educators to help students in and outside of the classroom to realize their full potential with the benefit of the very best tools and technology.”

The Office for Students package that Microsoft provides to Students and Educators includes the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access,  Publisher, 1TB of storage on OneDrive as well as Office Online for in-browser editing.

Students and parents may check their eligibility or encourage their school to opt-in at microsoft.ca/freeoffice or microsoft.ca/officegratuit.

Lovable Labels - Save $5 on Ultimate Camp Packs ~ #Giveaway

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.  It seems like I was just wishing everyone Happy New Year and now I am planning my daughter's summer camp within the next few weeks.  I like to plan as early as possible so I get first dibs when and where my daughter will be this summer.  I like to label all my daughter's items because the staff will have no idea what items belongs to who.  One time, the camp had water day and laid out all the wet clothes on the floor.  So my BFF when to pick up my daughter.  He just picked up what was sitting in front of her cubby and accidentally took someone's shirt.  So I took it back to the day care but the problem is now that we had no idea who it belonged to.  To avoid this problem it is ideal to purchase Lovable Label's Ultimate Camp Pack.

L'Occitane Velvet Body Balm ~ #Review

It's time to Spring forward! This past weekend we turned our clocks forward so we can jump into Spring faster.  I am getting sick of Winter and I am so glad Spring is coming in a few weeks so I can not worry about shoveling snow, heavy coats, broken furnaces, and crazy dry skin.  I get dry skin all year round but Winter is always the worst.  When Spring comes around, of course I would need to change my moisturizers and this Spring you will love L'Occitane Velvet Body Balm.

Vaseline Intensive Care Repairing Serum ~ #Review

I have been using the brand Vaseline for years.  Vaseline was the first lotion brand I used because that is what my mom purchased all the time.  I love them so much that last year I purchase a few to giveaway to my daughter's Day Care providers as their Christmas gift.  You have no idea how much appreciative they have to recieve hand creams.  At the day care, they would wash their hands so often that their hands get very dry.  The Day Care only provides them with soap but no lotions.  I rather that they focus on the kids instead of felling uncomfortable all day because their hands were so dry.

L'Occitane Immortelle Oil Make-Up Remover ~ #Review

After a long day at work, one of the first things I like to do is to remove my makeup.  My makeup has been sitting on my face for at least 10 hours and I can't wait to get it off my face once I get home.  I enjoyed using L'Occitane Immortelle Oil Make-Up Remover for these past few weeks.

The Body Shop: New Hemp Soap on a Rope ~ #Review

I hate winter and I can't wait for it to end.  I dislike the cold temperature and I especially hate dry skin.  You won't believe how much lotion and cream I have been using these past few months.  I do enjoy using The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector.  The scent reminds me of pine trees, or as if I was working in my herb garden.  Also, last year I fell in love with the Hemp Foot Protector.  It works wonders for my dry feet.  It provides instant relief whenever I need it.  I really love using this all year round.  This season check out The Body Shop: New Hemp Soap on a Rope.
