Tag Archives: My Life In The Sun

We just returned from an amazing trip to Ontario and one of our favourite parts of the trip was our visit to Niagara Falls. I hadn’t been to Niagara Falls since I was a child, and it was my children’s first time. We were so amazed! The beauty of the Falls is unbelievable! We started out at the Table Rock Welcome Centre, where we could park for the day.

Welcome to the Great Canadian Blog Bash! I’m so proud to be Canadian! My name is Laura and My Life in the Sun is a personal blog I started last year to share our family’s experiences during our everyday life and traveling. This is my first year in the Great Canadian Blog Bash because it’s my first year as a blogger. I have two daughters and a very patient husband who, like me, love to travel. I am born and raised in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada and have driven across the country twice. I think one of the best ways to see Canada is by car! There is much more to a country than just the big cities.

Here’s a funny little post on some ideas for using Mason Jars when you aren’t making jam. I love mason jars. I love homemade jam. These things just naturally go together but when I’m done with the jam I end up having a lot of spare mason jars stored around my house, in random areas. So rather than box them up and put them away, I decided to use them for something useful and fun! I also especially love using them as drinking glasses with straws like they do at Disney World.

Storage for those beautiful shells from your vacations:

Bathroom accessories:

Fun craft ideas such as a glow lamp:

Handy dandy marker storage:

Tea bag (or other food) storage:

Thats all for now folks! Sorry I’ve been posting so infrequently lately. Planning our vacation and working full time has taken its toll on me! I’d love to hear your ideas for mason jar uses!
