Buy Canadian First - Your destination for good shopping

It has been just over one month since we brought home our latest addition. A few days before Christmas we added a third dog to our family. We live in the country, so having big dogs is not an issue.

When you think "Ford", do you think  "Made in Canada" ? Well, you should. You can find the Ford Canadian Headquarters & Eastern Operations Centre and an assembly plant, located in Oakville, Ontario. For as long as I can remember, my family has owned a Ford. My husband thinks that they are reliable and dependable. He knows he can use them for work and still trust the safety of our family in

If you follow me on Twitter or through my personal blog, you may know that I suffered from strep throat for the past two weeks. I used to get strep throat all the time as a child, as I'm sure many Canadians did, but getting it as an adult is a whole different ball game. This past weekend, after finally feeling a bit better, I decided to pamper myself with a few products. There is a fantastic
