The Great Canadian Blog Bash (closed)


I'm very excited to be part of this great event!  I love Canada and I'm so proud to live in such an amazing diverse country!

It truly is an amazing place and this blog bash is for all the amazing people that live here!

The lovely ladies over at Whispered Inspirations, Pampered Patty, Kat's Confessionsgoodgirlgonegreen and Mom vs the Boys are hosting a link up for Canadian Blogs.  Which means there will be lots of great Canadian giveaways! :)

But first a bit about Canada 

  • We are the worlds second largest country (by land mass) and we have 10 provinces 
  • We have 6 time zones
  • Our motto is "From Sea to Sea"
  • We have a desert - yes that's right it's in British Columbia and is called Osoyoos (It's only 15 miles long)
  • Canada has the longest coastline in the world at 202, 080 km
  • Hockey and Lacrosse are Canada's national sports
  • Toronto is the largest city with more the 5 million people and they hold more university degrees then any other big city in the world
  • We (Canadians) consume more macaroni and cheese then any other place on earth
  • The baseball glove was invented here
Interesting eh?!

Alright so on with the GOOD stuff!  It's giveaway time!  I reached out to a few of my FAVOURITE Canadian companies to help make this a great giveaway so I hope you guys are excited! :)

I am giving away 
1 lucky reader will get...

2 knitted dishcloths created by MOI! :)

    Well, I always kinda wanted to try the DivaCup, simply because that is ONE area of my life that I'd like to be green in too.

    I found it interesting that they are 100% latex-free, plastic-free, BPA-free and odorless.
