As a Canadian, I do truly appreciate all of our seasons and the experiences they bring us. Colorful leaves and walks through the forest in the fall, Skiing in the winter, but summer, Summer is my favorite season for FASHION!

Eddie Bauer is running their Semi-Annual Sale right now, and you can Save up to 60% on everything you need to stay cool and look great this summer!

 CAPRIS are a must-have for me! Dress them up with heels and a blouse for work/a night out, or combine them with flips flops and a Tee for a relaxed afternoon. They are a comfortable temperature for both outside in the sunshine and inside where the AC is blasting. And let’s be honest, this Canadian Gal still has pastey white legs, Capris are a trendy cover-up.

SUMMER DRESSES are such an easy go-to fashion piece. My closet has a variety; Maxi, T-Shirt, Cross-Over, Long Sleeve Shirt and more. Slip in to a Summer Dress and stroll through downtown, dip your toes in the water at the beach, or dance the night away at the club. Summer Dresses have such versatility, and no matching with other articles of clothing required!

SWEATERS are still required in our Canadian Summers. Cold Air Conditioning at the office, or cooler summer nights are always more bearable with a cute sweater.

The Eddie Bauer Semi-Annual Sale is only for a limited time. Shop this sale now until July 7 2017.

Cash Back Rebate on all Eddie Bauer purchases (excluding Gift Cards) is 2.5%

Even though we are just weeks away from the official celebration of Canada turning 150 years young, this milestone is being recognized all year long across the country. I believe that everyone who lives in Canada should really take advantage of the incredible Canadian Pride that is being shown from coast to coast.

One of the first things that I did was sign up for my free Parks Canada Discovery Pass. The kids and I have looked over the long list of National Parks, Marine Conservation Areas and Historic Attractions that we can visit, and will be taking a lot of weekend road trips this summer to see as many as we can! Did you know that you can also receive a 2017 seasonal lockage permit, free of charge?!

This past weekend I packed an overnight bag and the dog & I took a road trip out to our Nation’s Capital, Ottawa. A stroll through the ByWard Market is always a treat to the senses, and now they have some really cool interactive displays in celebration of Canada turning 150. Something worth checking out!

One thing that I am really loving, is some of the ways I have been able to integrate my Canadian Pride in to my home, in a really fun and stylish way. Red Adirondack chairs on my deck and throw pillows with Maple Leaves and Moose on my couch are two of my favorite finds.

Amazon.ca wants you to Celebrate 150 years of Canada, with some Flag-inspired red and white gear, fascinating Canadian Literature, Canadian Coffee, Music from our beloved Canadian artists, Toys & Games, fabulous Cell Phone Cases, and my favorite, gift certificates and a Amazon.ca $25 Gift Card in a Maple Leaf Tin. What a thoughtful hostess gift for summer visits, in a collectible Maple Leaf Tin!

Oh Canada, our Home and Native Land…….we live in a beautiful country eh, wish Canada a Happy Birthday by seeing as much as you can this year, and showing your Red & White pride!

We transport a lot of things in our vehicles on a day to day basis, but nothing is more precious than our children! Despite having survived bouncing around the back of a station-wagon without a seat belt as children, every parent now understands the importance of car-seats! Whatever car seat brand you decide on, there are some universal Safety Tips for Car Seats

• Choose the best type of seat for your child’s age, weight and height. Generally children will be REAR FACING from 0-2 years, and then FORWARD FACING until they reach the top weight or height restriction set by manufacturer. At that time they can graduate up to a BOOSTER SEAT
• Always check the car seat expiry date
• Back Seat is the safest place for children
• Always use the Top Tether with a Forward Facing seat
• Keep straps around child snug & tight
• Movement of properly installed car seat should not be more than ONE INCH in any direction

No doubt you have done your homework, and for many parents the choice is Britax, the #1 Brand in Safety Technology.

Now until Friday April 7th 2017 you can save 20% on Britax Car Seats at Well.ca while supplies last.

Choosing the best Running Shoe is more than selecting a style and color that you think looks good. Feet come in a variety of shapes, and Running Shoes are designed differently to accommodate these differences, to give you the most comfortable run possible.

Here are 4 questions that you should answer before Buying Running Shoes

1. Where are you running? Running on the road/pavement requires a different shoe than running on trails. Traction and Stability are designed differently.
2. How do your Ankles roll? If they roll in you will require a shoe with extra stability and motion control. If they roll out you will want a shoe with cushion and flexibility. Not sure which way they roll? Generally people with higher arches roll out and people with flat feet roll in
3. How do you tie your Laces? If your shoes are uncomfortable it might just be the way you tie your laces. There are a variety of lacing techniques that can alleviate issues such as toes curling, Blisters caused by excess heel movement or sensitive areas on the top of your feet caused by high arches .
4. Are you wearing the correct size? It is best to have about a thumbnails length of space between your toe and the front of your shoe to allow for running downhill and normal swelling caused by running.

You should now have a good foothold for shopping online for Running Shoes. Right now until Tuesday April 4, 2017 Nike Canada is having an End of season. Save Up to 30% off new markdowns.

PRO TIP! Once you have purchased your shoes, open your calendar and create a new event titled BUY NEW SHOES. On average, a Running Shoe lasts 500 – 800 kms. The average runner will do that in 3-4 months. Thank goodness for Cash Back Rebates!!!
