Find Of The Week:

Christie has a new favorite toy. I found Hartz dog toys in the pet section at Dollarama and picked out the bone-shaped one for Christie. They're called "Longlife" but, with a Jack Russell, I don't hold out much hope. Still, it was only a buck and Christie loves to shake the stuffing out of the soft toys. This particular toy also comes in disk and doll shapes. 

July Features:

If you like the idea of packing a picnic lunch and enjoying it with the kids under a big shade tree by a babbling brook or beside a lake dotted with ducks, dollar stores have plenty of stuff to help you get outfitted for these relaxing outings. This large freezer pack is perfect for helping to keep things chilled in your cooler and the neoprene bottle bag will help to keep water or pop cold while you travel to your destination.

For some, the idea of eating out of doors conjures up pictures of mosquito bites and flies in the potato salad. But just as many of us relish the thought of cold lemonade and a hamburger under a shady elm in our own modest patch of nature. You don’t need a lot of specially made picnic ware to do that but you can enhance the experience with a few inexpensive items from the dollar store. Read For Your Outdoor Dining Pleasure for more.
