We could all use a little extra happy in our lives and this Happy Box filled with goodies from #localshops sure does the trick! With all that we are faced with during these times, it really warms the heart to know that @thehappybox.ca has made it a mission to support local businesses. Plus, who doesn’t love surprises? Each box is unique so the items will vary but they have curated five themed boxes such as the Birthday Box, the Bored at Home Box, the Staycation Box, the Hero Box, and, seen here, the Comfort and Essentials Box. And you can never go wrong with free Canada-wide shipping. Head on over to thehappybox.ca to learn more. I’ll be right over here testing out the chocolate... #giftedproduct #thehappyboxca #boxedgifts #comfortessentials #supportlocal #getwyld #twittergram #sharehappy

Guess who finally slept through the night! I’m still figuring out what to do about the barking and growling. Oh, and the obsession to dig holes all over the lawn! But aside from that, I think I’m starting to get the hang of being a #puppymom... #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram #dakotathecollie

Up and at ‘em at 2 in the morning with our little #DakotatheCollie means I get to take in views like this one. Coo, wha’ a sight! Random fact: Did you know that Diana is the name given to the Roman goddess of the moon? 😄 #fullmoonvibes #puppymom #themoon #torontonightsky #twittergram #iphonecapture

Introducing #DakotatheCollie, the newest member of our family! This sweet little #bordercollie pup is 8 weeks old and came to live with us just yesterday but she has already brought such great joy to our lives. I’ve never housetrained a dog or even had a pet before so wish me luck... #torontopuppy #bordercolliepuppies #colliepuppy #puppiesoftoronto #bordercolliesofig #puppiesoninstagram #twittergram

Yesterday was my mother-in-law’s birthday and lucky for me, I received the perfect greeting card from @hebestore.canada. Isn’t it beautiful? Not only is it unique in design but it is finely crafted by hand locally, right here in Toronto! So if you’re looking for a card that doubles as gift in and of itself, or if you want to #shoplocal, check out the #Hebestore online shop and enjoy free shipping in Canada. #giftedproduct #torontoshop #handmadepopupcard #birthdaycard #popupcards #supportlocalartists #thehebestore

I know. I know. I’ve spent WAY too many hours in front of the computer screen lately. I know! I just can’t help exploring different ways to make remote learning engaging and meaningful for my students. But I’ve forgotten something. I’ve forgotten to be more in the moment, to get outside and enjoy the blooms of spring,... to just breathe. An evening stroll at @tbg_canada with my eldest was just what I didn’t realize I needed... #edwardsgardens #torontoparks #torontobotanicalgarden #lifeinthe6ix #teacherlife🍎 #twittergram

Bring on the long weekend! I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to some much needed rest and relaxation. And some sunshine, too. I hope! I have an audiobook already lined up and my trusty new #Sudio wireless earphones are fully charged and ready to go. These were sent to me courtesy of @Sudio about a month ago and I am quite impressed that I’ve only ever had to fully recharge the case once since then. Between my daughter and I, we use them for about 2-3 hours a day, so it’s been great not to have to worry about charging it as frequently as some of our other devices. Plus, it comes with USB-C so even then, it charges quickly. If you’re looking for a new set of earphones or for a gift idea for Father’s Day (they also come in white, black or classic blue), use code torontomom15 at checkout to save 15%! #sudiomoments #sudiofem #giftedproduct #wirelessearphones #twittergram

Lisa: I’m so sick of this rain. Remind me never to take my honeymoon at Niagara Falls. Marjorie: So, you go to Acapulco. Unfortunately, we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon but at least I get to watch some of my all-time favourite movies while stuck indoors during these April showers. (I’ll give you three guesses which movie I quoted above!) Luckily, I can enjoy movies that *I* want to watch without having to compete with whatever the rest of my family is listening to thanks to these new #Sudio Fem wireless earphones I received courtesy of @Sudio. Aside from my #VasaBla earphones, they are the only other ones that fit comfortably in my ear. I absolutely love the low profile cushions and the soft texture of both the earphones and the clamshell case. Plus, the sound quality is amazing, which makes solo salsa dancing a lot more fun. (Gah! How I miss dance class!) If you’re looking for a new set of earphones, Sudio is offering a pouch + tote bag + gift bag during their #MothersDay2020 promotion. AND because I love my new earphones so much, I’ve partnered with Sudio to offer you a special 15% discount! Just use code torontomom15 at checkout. (Valid for the next 60 days.) #sudiomoments #giftedproduct #wirelessearphones #twittergram #rainraingoaway☔️ #SudioFem

Throwing it back to, er... last week? I’ve lost track of the days. Anywho, I’m pretty sure it was last week when we devoured the last of our @purdyschocolatier Easter stash of pure deliciousness. At least I have a lovely tin that I can reuse and repurpose! What’s one thing you’ve run out of that you wish you had stocked up on? Besides chocolate, of course. . . . #purdyschocolatier #giftedproduct #purdyschocolate #easterchocolate #qualitychocolate #boxofchocolates #yummychocolate #twittergram #chocolatelegend #canadianchocolate

Now that I’ve got plenty of time on my hands, I’m going to focus a little more on skincare routines. Looking forward to trying my new Rose Quartz Facial Roller that I ordered via @alice_gems. Also loving my new Sunstone Rose Gold Hematite bracelet that I won through one of her giveaways. Isn’t it pretty? #facialcare #rosequartzroller #rosegoldbracelet #shoplocalcanada #facialroller #vichyfacemask #twittergram
