Planting has begun. This year, we planted corn, potato, carrots, pumpkin, bush beans, cucumber, tomato, blueberries, peppers, and some flowers. I will probably also try to plant celery later.

I received the Aveeno Calm + Restore for free thanks to butterly.com.

I've been using this on my legs, face, and hands. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm always nervous trying out a new cream. But this one goes on nice and does not irritate my skin.

I've been using it on my face before my makeup, and it has helped my foundation go on better than my normal cream. I have noticed my chin has broken out a little, but I can't say for sure if it was due to the cream.

Aveeno also makes a Calm + Restore moisturizer specifically for your face, so I may have to try that one in the future.

I received these two items for free thanks to @thisisbutterly.

When using the moisurizer, you do not need a lot of cream to cover your whole face. The cream itself feels thinner than what I currently use. I haven't really noticed a difference in my skin, so I would say it works about the same as most products in mositurizing my skin. I would use this again if my current moisturizer was unavailable.

This facial cleanser is simple to use, and it has a nice light scent. The scent smells good while washing my face but doesn't linger, so I don't need to smell it for an extended amount of time. My face feels soft and clean once I'm finished. I would buy this again when I need more cleanser.

Today, I tried out the @voila.ca delivery to order my groceries. I was given a discount thanks to @thisisbutterly .

There are pros and cons to this delivery company. It is pretty comparable to other grocery delivery companies when it comes to their delivery fees. Like other store owned delivery companies, I was unable to choose a same day delivery slot.

I liked that they had different delivery prices depending on the time of day you had it arrive. They also offered a free item when placing a delivery.

I was a little disappointed that they were sold out of some of them items I needed, like bell peppers and baby formula. I received an email to let me know that one of the items I ordered was removed due to availability, but I wasn't an option to choose a replacement. I will end up having to go to the store myself anyway to buy my missing items.

The delivery itself went smoothly. It arrived within the time slot I requested, and the delivery driver was friendly and helpful.

Would I use this service again? Unless I needed something specifically from Sobeys of Safeway, I will stick with my current grocery delivery company.

Our slow cooker and pressure cooker both broke about a week apart from each. We're going to see if this will replace both!

I'm not sure how often normal people usually wash their walls, but this was the first time I've done it since moving into our house 3 years ago.

So far I've also washed the ones in the bathroom, but they look so much better now! I was amazed how much dust was on them.

I've been following @gocleanco for a couple of years on Instagram. She makes cleaning look so easy!

Before Christmas, the laminated cleaning handbook came back into print for the first time in about a year!

I bought it as a present to myself along with the printable calendar.

We are two weeks into the year, and my house has been getting cleaner every day! Sometimes, I only get 30 minutes of work done, but even that makes a difference.
