I am trying to comply a list of places that take Canadian Tire Money at par.So far my list is very small but I know I have been in more retail stores that will accept it. I just can't remember them now.1)In Langley-Toy Traders.This is a great toy store full of new and gently used toys.2)In Mission-Pub on Lougheed Highway (believe its Mission Springs)family restaurant, bar and liquor storeAnother

A local blogger, Stacey Robinsmith dot com, has a fun giveaway up on his site to win tickets to see the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on October 19th at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. So far the contest has low entries, so your chances of winning are great. Good luck!

We love shopping from the comfort of our own homes! With busy schedules and young kids, it really is much easier and more relaxing to shop online. Here in Canada, however, we are often limited in where we can shop and what we can buy as many companies either charge huge shipping rates or just don't ship to Canada at all. We were very excited when we found CSN Stores. CSN Stores is comprised of

My book was sent Expedited Parcel from Ontario and I am pleasantly surprised to have received it this soon - just one week from when my order was placed.

I just found out that save.ca, which we posted about earlier, has more great coupons under the living well brand. Find them here. You can order these coupons even if you already placed an order with the regular save.ca; use your same log in information.These coupons include free 18 count Stayfree Ultra Thins, $1.50 off Children's Tylenol as well as some other Aveeno, Benadryl, Motrin (plus more

Have you checked out save.ca lately? It's a great website that allows you to pick your own coupons which are mailed to you at no cost. You can only order the same coupon once every month or so. We wrote about it previously here.At the grocery store today there was a sale on Sunlight and I had a $2 off coupon from save.ca but unfortunately when I dug out the coupon, I discovered it had expired.

Have you ever used Groupon before? It's pretty simple. You sign up and enter your city. Once a day Groupon will send you an offer for a high value coupon that is valid in your area. Sometimes it is for a local restaurant or event, other times it is nation or even continent wide. I signed my parents up and they recently bought a great camera at an awesome price. Basically, an offer is put up

Tomorrow, August 19th, participating Subways around Canada are offering a free ham and egg muffin with a coffee from 7am to 10am (I have read in other places 8am to 10am so check your local Subway). Last night this offer was all over the TV and it's been around the blogosphere today, so I expect it will be popular. If you've never tried Subway's breakfast sandwiches, I highly recommend them. I

Picaboo has a wonderful deal on for new customers. Get a large 20-page photo book for free! My first Picaboo photo book is still in the works, but here's what I've found so far...you will need to download some software. For me this is worth it, as it allows you to work on the book on your own computer, without having to go through the painstaking process of uploading photos to the web to use

Yesterday I placed an order for my family's Halloween costumes (yes, I know it's still August). I found some reasonable deals through buycostumes.com and from what I've read they offer great customer service. (I'll report more on my experience later). Just before I went to check out it occurred to me that I should search for some online discount codes. In fact, it was the discount code box

Today was another ho-hum day weather-wise and the kids were restless. They've been loving getting out every day in the gorgeous July we had and they are readjusting to staying around the house. I needed something that would occupy everyone for awhile.Here's what we decided to do - dough ornaments! We made these last Christmas for the tree, but I thought we could do this as a nonseasonal craft

Visit your local Starbucks for half price frappuccinos today (May 7th) through May 16th from 3pm to 5pm.

Perfect for a warm drive or walk home!

Last weekend my family had a "staycation" in Vancouver. If you've never heard of a staycation before, it is basically a vacation in your own city. A staycation can be great for families with young kids - travel time is minimal and you can go at a slow pace since the attractions are always there.For our staycation, we booked a hotel downtown through Priceline - and got a great deal. A 4-star

I had been hearing a lot about the new Purex 3-in-1 Complete Laundry Sheets.At the store the other day I spotted them on the shelf and decided to try them out. There was even a 'promo' lady there to talk about the product and hand out $1.00 coupons.So far I am liking this product. We have sensitive skin in our house and no one has had a reaction to the product. We haven't used a dryer sheet

The Olympic Torch has reached the Lower Mainland and the celebrations are underway.This morning the torch passed through my hometown at the lovely hour of 7:00am. Myself and the kids (my husband was working) were all up very early and standing outside in the cold waiting to see the torch pass by.The city had great activities planned for the families. There was free coffee, muffins and snacks

I also have a very big coffee addiction and end up at a coffee drive-thru twice a day on average.All of this time spent at drive-thrus has taught me a few simple tricks on how to make the process as speedy as possible (for yourself and other drivers).I am going to share what I

My daughter is now 21 months old and is at that stage where she no longer thinks of herself as a 'baby'. She has recently decided that she does not want to sit in her high-chair and will only eat if sitting at the 'big table' with the rest of the table.We had yet to find a solution (and had some very messy meals) when I found out that I had won a Keekaroo Cafe Booster on another web blog.

After having two sons I was delighted to learn that my third child would be a girl. I started to think about all the activities that we would do together and all of the special mother/daughter time we would share.One of the things that I looked forward to was being able to spend time pampering myself and my daughter with different 'girly' products. Nail polish was one of these products that I

I left the hospital with strict instructions from the nurses - "No blankets in baby's bed!". My family was appalled at the idea of putting babies to bed without blankets. I soon discovered that sleep sacks are a great compromise. They keep baby warm and comfy without the risk of having the blanket pulled up over his or her face. They also become part of the sleeptime routine and signal to the

Kids and socks can be a tricky combination.It seems that most kid's socks were not designed to be 'kid-friendly'. The socks bunch up, twist and turn, have bumpy seams, and fit too tightly at the top. Socks seem to be one item that parents have to help their children with long after the kids have learned to dress themselves.Thank goodness the people at Smart Knit Kids realized this problem and

It's starting to get pretty cold now that Winter is just around the corner. We have pulled out our 'Winter Bin' from storage and have the piles of mitts, gloves, hats, scarves, snow pants and jackets all ready to go. Being prepared for cold days is a part of life in Canada and making sure you have great winter gear is high on the list of things to do for many families right now.KEWT KIDS

Sympatico has helped Santa set up his PNP (Portable North Pole) communicator again this year. Canadians click here and you can set up a personalized video message for your child. I haven't tried this one, but I believe here is the same idea for Americans.It takes about 5 - 10 minutes to fill everything out and upload a photo of your child, but it's totally worth it. My girls each loved theirs!

Here in BC, this means that 40,000 points will redeem for $85 rather than the regular $75 and 75,000 points will redeem for $170 instead of $150. In other parts of Canada the bonus redemption is even better. This will be my first bonus redemption and I've made a list - hopefully what I'm hoping for

Toddler beds! Honestly, the transition was no where near what we thought it would be. They miss their cribs a bit, but they have not gotten up and come out once! (it's been about 2 weeks). I'm not sure if it's because we waited so long that they are a little more mature, or if we're just lucky, but either way - we'll take it! Oh, and the fisher price toy in the background is for my nephew,
