I introduced this hand cream into my hand washing routine as I was suffering from very dry and tight skin on my hands. I've got a preschooler at home which means I'm constantly washing my hands, whether I'm washing paint off my hands from us crafting or washing to keep all the daycare germs away. This has left my hands dry, rough and crying out for some moisture and TLC. I put this hand creme in the washroom I use the most, so that everytime after I wash my hand I can apply this. I've noticed such a difference in just a few days of use. My hands are soft, smooth and no longer rough. My daughter has even commented, "Mom, your hands are so soft!" If you want amazingly soft moisturized hand you need to get you hands on this...or get this on your hands lol! I'm going to pick up a mini sized one for my handbag. This is now a staple product that I don't want to be without!

My daughter played with this toy for a very long when she received it. I love that this encourages lots of imaginative play. She spent time fixing the tires with the rachet and used the hammer to play with the red fidget spring. She drove around the neighborhood putting out fires and picking up her other friends to help fight the fires in the kitchen and living room. She also spent time cleaning the vehicle and making it 'nice and shiny!'
I really appreciate toys that let kids use their imagination fully. I love that there are no noise makers on this vehicle. This allows her the make the noises and sounds as she plays.
As a really big Paw Patrol fan, she was very excited to add another vehicle to her fleet. She has a number of Spin Master toys that she always go back to and they all still look as new as the day she received them. Driving off couches, bookshelves, landing upside down on the tile, carpet and hardwood and still there in tip top shape.

I'm in love with these bowls from Paderno. They are the perfect combination of function and style. The semi-matte black is sophisticated and timeless. It pairs well with my other dishes that happen to be black and white. Love that they are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe. They are roomy, deep and I've used them for everything from pasta to serving chips in them. They also wash well, no water stains and look brand new even those they been used a fair bit since I received them.
I was gifted this product for free from Canadian Tire.

I started using this serum in both my day and night time routines. I've noticed my skin is softer, brighter and hydrated. My skin absorbs it well and it doesn't leave any sticky residue or pill on my skin. It's lightweight and feels refreshing after applying.
During the Winter months, my skin requires specific products to protect and nourish my skin barrier. I always use a serum in my routine and this one passes all my requirements. It's cruelty free, contains ingredients I know and can pronounce, absorbs well, is fragrance free and bonus, it's Canadian made! I also think it would still be lightweight enough to use is the warmer months. One other call-out, on the days I wore makeup, this created a great smooth base.
One specific thing I noticed and appreciated, I had a surface scratch on my skin from my daughter. It was small but red, when I applied this product during my night time routine the same day, I noticed the scratch didn't burn and I didn't feel any discomfort. This might see like a small thing but to me that goes to show how gentle this product is.

This product is not the normal quality I've come to know from Canadian Tire and MotoMaster unfortunately. There were three main issues I had with this product.
1. The jack handle was very scratched up, not the normal scratches you would see from maybe the item not being packaged properly during delivery but moreso either it looked like a return or it was just not finished properly during manufacturing.
2. For the handle to engage to be able to pump, it need to fit in to the handle socket and then twist the handle to the right for the pin to fit in to the groove in order for the handle to be secure and safe. Unfortunately this wasn't possible as the was an very small extra piece of metal that was blocking the pin from fitting properly. I had to take a pair of pliers and break off this piece so that the handle could engage properly.
3. The instruction manual is seriously lacking.
Once I was able to get the handle to fit properly, the jack worked as expected and with ease however I have reservations about the longevity given the above issues.

My daughter loves this stuffy! She squealed with excitement when I gave it to her. He's soft, squishable and he is an exact replica of Marshall. Sometimes stuffed animals don't always look like the characters they are supposed to be, off colours, weird stitching, scale is off, but not this guy, he is perfect and high quality. From his Fire Marshall's hat to his spots, he is flawless and is going to be enjoyed for many years! At 32" tall, he's almost as tall as my daughter! I'm glad she has a big bed because I know he's going to be the chosen plushie for bedtime tonight and for the foreseeable future! I've looked online and see that there is a Chase jumbo Plushie in this collection, I will definitely need to find that in store for her! She will loose her mind to have both characters, as those two are her favourites! -

My daughter was really excited to play with the Paw Patrol Search and Rescue Lift and Repair set. As she considers herself part of the rescue team, she was excited to go on a mission with Ryder (one of her favourite characters)! I loved watching her imagination come alive and seeing the scenarios she created, play out. This set held her attention for quite a while I can tell she was thoroughly immersed in it. When she reached for it everyday for the week, I knew we had a winner on our hands!
This set was easy to put together (10-15 minutes). I love that the ramp folds up so it's compact for storage. It has bright vivid colours and the plastic feels very durable with no sharp pieces, perfect for your littles! We will be checking out other toys from Spin Master as we have a few toys from them and every single one had been a quality piece and very well made.

These tools a high quality. You can feel from the weight of them in your hands that they are sturdy, ergonomically comfortable, and will last the test of time so that they can be passed down to the next generation. Also additional points for including the two AAA batteries needed for the voltage detector! -

Very happy with this paint. This was a perfect colour and saved me a step as it is self priming. I added two coats to active a flawless uniform finish. I love the added protection of this paint sealing out moisture. Two coats covered up rust stains, water stains and other discolorations. Will definitely purchase again? -
