A Smorgasbord of stuff for the weekend...

Don't forget the OSCARS!
This weekend (Sunday Feb. 25) Hollywood glitters!

If you're into that kind of thing, you'll see and hear alot of celebrities and stories of the parties afterwards, check you local listings for your tv time slot - get out the popcorn (it's going to be a long haul) Get the kids to bed early or have them up and you can each have your own list of favourites to win - yep an Oscar Party!

The best Baby Food In Canada!
SweetPea Baby Food - Organic, original recipes, they come in frozen "pods" making it a nutritious and convenient option for busy, health-conscious parents. I had a taste at the winter baby & toddler show and I was AMAZED! The Lentils and root veggies actually tasted like homemade! Delicious and nutritious. Not that I am against Heinz or Gerber (they are convenient too,.. I personally would just NEVER eat that stuff in the jar - BLEHCH! So WHY am i feeding it to my baby.... Well she loves it, and sometimes prefers it over her bite size fresh foods that I leave on her tray, and it's convenient too like I said. The ONLY CON about the sweet Pea baby food is ... The Price ... It's EXPENSIVE- and if you are like me and the majority of regular parents out there - YOU are on a BUDGET! So if you would like to treat your baby once and awhile, OR if you think that the cost outweighs the nutritional benefits - than this baby food is for you and your baby!

It comes in variety of flavours:

From about 6 months: - Banana Blueberry, Sweet Potato, Broccoli

From about 8 months: - Veggies, Beef & Barley, Lentils & Root Veggies, Veggies & Chicken

They are available in select grocery and health food stores across Canada. (Some Dominion and Whole Foods are carrying it now) Check the website for more locations and more varieties coming soon. www.sweetpeababyfood.com

A new book I think is WORTH investing in!

The Debt Free DIVA (Dee Dee Sung) (THANKS Judith!)


I received a copy of this amazing new CANADIAN book directed at women, but can be useful for both men & women alike. "This book is designed to help women reinvent their relationship to money using a combination of psychological and practical advice. It dares to delve into the sensitive issue of money from within, while motivating us to take action using simple, proactive steps. It gives the world of personal finance a hip, fresh face and takes the reader on a journey to be savoured. The Debt Free Diva shows women how to create a healthy relationship to money with the purpose of turning dreams into reality!"


What stuck out for me personally was Chapter 14 - "Change in Scenery" it begins with an affirmation: "DIVA SPEAK: I handle change with flexibility, confidence and ease" and the chapter refers to times in our lives when things will change (refer to my post on Feb 19th) for example - Suddenly Single, New Babies, Loss of Job, Sabbaticals, Kids & College, Taking care of your parents & your own children etc... - and gives useful information on why and how things change and what to do about it.

As well as this handy tip Debt Free Diva CPR - Life saving technique for times of financial crisis. Communicate, Prioritize, Restructure ... You'll have to buy the book in order to get the full details on this but believe me it's worth it!

All for now, Have a SUPER weekend!
