Chris Hadfield
Did you know Canada.. I just have to shout my love for Canadian Chris Hadfield (born in Sarnia, Ontario).
One of the coolest guys on Twitter in my opinion, this former Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot is also the first Canadian to walk in space, and the first Canadian to command the International Space Station.
He has been aboard the International Space Station since December 21st 2012 and has kept the world in touch with space daily via his Twitter and Facebook feed, enlisting his sons Evan and Kyle to manage his social media presence (how awesome is that?!)
He is funny, playing a cute April Fools joke on his readers yesterday with some alien presence, he is also informative, sharing with the world what they are working on, how they accomplish daily tasks in space, he also shares gorgeous, breath taking pictures of our world.

I don't know what it is or what it wants, but it keeps repeating "Sloof Lirpa" over and over. Alert the press. twitter.com/Cmdr_Hadfield/…

Northern Biscuit
Did you know Canada.. my doggies, Maddie and Bailey, love to snack, as all doggies do. We try our best to give them healthy treats but as our dogs like to tell us some of those don't taste so good. Thanks to Northern Biscuit, we've found a Canadian Made treat that start with fresh foods and simple, honest recipes. No dough risers, no artificial anything.
Baked in small batches, our pups have sampled a few of Northern Biscuit's flavours, including their most patriotic flavour - Canadian Bacon!
Wheat-Free Canadian Bacon uses food-grade Ontario and Quebec Pork, Canadian maple syrup and blueberries for antioxidants. Pumpkin Pie features Pure Ontario pumpkin sprinkled with cinnamon is great to aid digestion and settle upset tummies.
Grain-Free Beef Tripe is Canadian beef tripe mixed with Manitoba-grown potatoes and is gluten free. So is Grilled Bison, which features Alberta Bison from the ranches of Western Canada also with Manitoba-grown potatoes.
Our Maddie's favourite has been the Beef Tripe, and Bailey, well, she likes everything..haha.. for me, I like that these treats are dry, they don't get all gooey or gross up my carpet. They actually smell pretty good too and the pups think they smell great!
I love that the ingredients are front and centre on the packaging - how often will you find a company, especially one producing for animals, that are proud of the ingredients they include in their product?! Wouldn't these biscuits would be perfect for a sweet gift for a doggie friend? :-)
What a great company to support, supporting this Canadian company means you are supporting a whole host of Canadians, from Canadian growers providing their freshest, food-grade meats and vegetables. The packaging (which I think look great by the way) is made from compostable, recyclable, renewable Canadian paper, manufactured only one hour from their bakery. Folks from Community Living Ontario groups affix the labels to their bags; Northern Biscuit also supports local animal rescue organizations and local environmental initiatives.
Find Northern Biscuit on the web, twitter, facebook and pinterest to keep up to date on their tasty treats!

Sensitive skin laundry regimen #PGmom
Did you know Canada.. with a new baby in the house, my life is laundry, laundry, laundry. Especially as we just upgraded to his 3-6 month clothes this past week (oh my gosh, how is this happening already?! so sad!).
Making sure the products we use are gentle enough for baby skin, but still making his clothes clean and fresh are VERY important to me. Hubby's skin doesn't seem to like products with a lot of perfume, and my Mom has very sensitive skin, so we are very conscience of what we use, don't want any rashy kids!
I LOVE being a P&G Mom, being introduced to all of their products and learning how Tide, Downy and Bounce have joined forces to provide a laundry regimen that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin - this is something I needed to know about! We were already using Tide Free & Gentle Liquid Detergent that has been specially designed for sensitive skin. It’s made with no dyes or perfumes and is dermatologist tested to provide your fabrics with a great clean that’s gentle on your skin. Now I also know about Ultra Downy Free & Sensitive Liquid Softener - free from dyes, perfumes, and worries, it is the leading “free” fabric softener that’s also 100 per cent dermatologist tested so you can focus on enjoying fabrics that are wonderfully soft with less static and fewer wrinkles. And then my new favourite product - Bounce Free & Sensitive Dryer Sheets so we can enjoy the softness and static protection of regular dryer sheets without perfumes or dyes, love it for my babe!!!!
In fact just this morning I picked up more Tide Free & Gentle Liquid Detergent and Bounce Free & Sensitive Dryer Sheets at Walmart, two products I absolutely never want to run out of.
We want one lucky reader to experience this sensitive skin laundry regimen from Tide, Downy and Bounce for themselves! Enter below for your chance to win these 3 products, I know you will love them as much as I do! If you don't have any sensitive skin worries at home, what a beautiful gift for a new Mom as well, trust me, she will appreciate it!

Kraft Pourables
Did you know Canada.. we have been trying out the new Kraft Pourables - made with real fruits and vegetables, it has been a real treat to experiment with these dressings and they have been fabulous for Mom on the run here for lunch.
Let me share my current go to lunch with you thanks to Kraft Pourables..
I start with fresh baby spinach leaves as my iron is very low after having the baby, then add a hard boiled egg or two (I'm doing the eggs in the oven now, have you seen that? so easy!), sometimes I add a bit of chopped red onion and shredded cheese and then top with one of my yummy Kraft Pourable Dressings. My current go to favourite is the Garlic Parmesan with Roasted Cauliflower - so good!
I'm not the only one that has been enjoying it either, I recently got one of my boys hooked on salads (go Mom!) and he has been loving the Berry Balsamic! Don't I feel like a great Mom, having my boy enjoy not only salad, but with using Kraft Pourables, made with fruits and veg, no artificial flavors or colors and have low fat and salt - fabulous!
A great way to liven up your go to salad, Kraft Pourables comes in four fantastic flavours - Berry Balsamic, Roasted Yellow Pepper, Garlic and Lime, Fire Roasted Tomato with Basil and Garlic Parmesan with Roasted Cauliflower - have you tried them yet?
