Squinkies ‘Do Drops offers endless possibilities with tiny fun! {Review}

Tara October 1, 2016 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews 7

You know what I seriously love? Tiny toys. First of all, they don’t take up a ton of storage space and number two.. how adorable are they? When the Squinkies Club House and Squinkies ‘do Drops collector pack showed up for A to check out, I might have ooh’ed and ahh’ed a little bit myself, they were certainly very reminiscent of the tiny Polly Pocket toys I remember as a

The tiniest space in our tiny house is definitely our bathroom. We don't have plugs so when I discovered @febreze Small Spaces are PLUG FREE and smell amazing... oh boy. Don't be fooled though, this tiny air freshener packs some serious refresh power. The fresh-pressed apple smells amazing and reminds me of pie, so that's a win. #febrezeforsmallspaces #febreze #sponsored

Dreaming of road trips // Does anyone else wonder about electric vehicles for long trips? The @hondacanada Clarity is a hybrid plugin that I've often wondered about! We hooked up @avatozoe with the ride for her trip and even she was a bit worried - would she run out of power? Did you know that the hybrid plugins can charge themselves? The Clarity engine can supply electricity to the propulsion motor, and may also drive the wheels at highway speeds - meaning that your car can intuitively help conserve both power and gas. There are several apps available to help you locate charging stations, so she was able to charge during a regular visit at the grocery store. She also charged it plugged in at home with a regular plugin for 12 hours and in as little as 3 hrs at the charging stations. It handled just like any other car, only a lot quieter, especially on the highway. Over the course of the week that she had it, she only charged it twice, once in the city and once while on our trip and used $15 worth of gas to go from Vancouver to Harrison Hot Springs and back. With gas prices topping out at 163.9 in Metro Vancouver, wouldn't you love to spent $15 on gas for the week? 📸 @avatozoe .

[ad] Kids, cats, dogs, construction workers? Nothing says motherhood quite like random smells. Combine that with cold temps and windows closed and I'm always on the hunt for ways to freshen up the house.
A big thanks to @febreze for introducing me to the Lavender & Vanilla scent that has quickly become a house favourite. A quick spritz in the air or on soft fabrics and it gives my home the quick refresh it needs. Also, can we talk about the sleeeeeek wax melter? Love it!

What room could use a Febreze pick me up at your house?

Have you seen this mug floating around on social media lately? It amazed me how viral this photo went. I was drawn to the @empireofsass mug at The Warehouse Sale and it sort of snowballed from there.
.
This mug represented a year of growth for me. In the past 5 years of blogging, I've been so crippled by anxiety that I've missed out on incredible opportunities to work with brands I admire, and to meet other creators that I'd love to connect with. That's the funny thing about anxiety, it takes hold and it doesn't let go, regardless of how much you do want to do something. It took years for me to finally be able to say that today is not a good day and talk about what was going on. YEARS.
.
This mug reminded me how not alone I am in this journey. How so many of us are struggling with something each and every day. Whatever you managed to do today, I'm proud of you. One step at a time. It's okay to not be okay my friend. .

We’ve started a new family tradition. After a full day the @abbyairshow yesterday we’ve discovered how incredibly family friendly the entire event is. Pack your chairs, pack all the snacks, arrive early and settle down for the day. The kids zone is full of things to keep the littles entertained, the runway is full of a huge assortment of aircrafts to explore and lots of professionals to ask all the questions (if you’re like my kid!) Food row keeps the snackiness at bay and there was a ton of cool samples and booths to discover. Coolest part for us? Having a Chalet right next to the @cfsnowbirds and Livvy staring in awe at all the pilots. She thinks it’s the coolest job ever. We’ll definitely be back next year - fingers crossed for no rain! #giftedexperience .

[sponsored] Can we talk about how clean counters make my heart sing? We have a very tiny house, and a very tiny kitchen, so clean counters bring me much joy! I'm loving the @mrclean Clean Freak Mist sprays for tackling everyday messes and deep cleaning around the house. Being able to pump the Power Nozzle trigger for a continuous spray helps tackle the entire kitchen in no time, I also love how the mist starts working right away to tackle the sticky kid messes and makes cleanup a breeze.
.
And yes y'all, I love my 90's kitchen backsplash because right next to it is a view of the amazing mountains and that's the BEST. #MrCleanCleanFreak cleans all the messes, not just the retro ones!
