We’ve been talking a lot about the best gifts of 2015, and sometimes the best gift you can give someone is a spruce up for their house. With busy day to day lives, fitting in work, kids and extra curricular activities is enought to think about without worrying about if your house is up to date with the current trends.   Give the gift of a living room face lift to someone you love, trust me they will love you for it.  

Vtech has been a popular brand for toys as far back as I can remember. Both my sons had Vtech toys growing up, and we still have the old yellow car with shape sorter kicking around for the little ones to play with. Vtech has done a great job at keeping their toys current and that’s easy to see when you try out the Kidizoom Smartwatch DX and the Action Cam. Read on to see why your kids will be adding these two to their Christmas lists.

It’s officially fall, and that means we are well on our way to our great Canadian winter.

Read on for some quick and easy recipes.
