Review: Northern Cards- Canada's Greeting Card Company

I hadn't heard about Northern Cards till recently when seeing them on Instagram. Social media is a wonderful way for brands to get their name out, and for bloggers like myself to find them.  Northern Cards  has proudly been Canada’s Greeting Card Company Since 1989, specializing in hand-drawn illustrations by exceptional artists.

They have wonderful cards of all kinds, and even now have note pads! The quality is wonderful as well.

Northern Cards sell directly to consumers through their arrangement with Amazon and they also sell to greeting card wholesalers and distributors. They have been working with an array of new Canadian writers, illustrators, and designers, as well as European ones for the first time. 

Northern Cards has always been concerned about the environment; for over 30 years, they have only ever used recycled and sustainably resourced paper for all their printing and envelopes.

We all have some occasion that we can always give a card for- my mom in particular LOVES cards. She is almost 80 and has always had a love for cards and snail mail. Everyone still loves to get mail, so she will send an all occasion card or birthday, or thank you card and says you can never have enough cards on hand.

We love their brand and look forward to using their cards and note pads!

Total Replacement- Thank you Moen!

I have to give a hats off to the company Moen. We had bathroom tub and shower parts in our home bought from previous owner, and the condition was not the best. Rusted and just not cared for. We knew from it being a Moen brand that they stood behind their products, and we reached out to them about them. We were told they would be replacing all the pieces as shown in picture- minus the tub drain as that wasn't theirs. 

Thank you Moen! Your customer service is the best always! Thank you for standing behind your products.

Money In..Money Out

We have been having alot of money in's and outs lately it seems. Our latest "in" was tax returns. We had good returns both of us, however Gerry's went all and then some for his truck repairs and a safety for the truck. Then because we have switched provinces that we live in, he also had the expense of a new license, registration, insurance, forms, (yes forms they were charging for too!), etc.. Will be my turn soon for my car, to go through all that. Not the repairs-LOL- but getting the vehicle inspection and everything else that goes with it.

Then we had alot of expenses for Jake. He had a dental cleaning of $300 + -which he gets at least once a year. Add to that flea and tick prevention (for when it is tick season @ $85 for 3 month dose single pill!) had anal glands done, one of his vaccinations for the year  and his hair cut @ $60 that same week, well, it tends to add up. We are blessed to be able to afford what we can for him. 

Were at a trade show this past week. Did alot of walking around and looking. Went with our daughter and son in law. Entered alot of draws. Didn't win anything but picked up some free pens and other free things that were on tables.  LOL! 

Were almost done with our snow here, only to get dumped on again by one of those atmospheric river type things! So we have to start all over with the melt again, which means I can't take my car out till the snow isn't as deep on the roads. Good thing for us we have the car - which is small and good on gas, but also the truck which is good in the snow.

Just as a reminder as well- be sure to check out our Instagram page and other socials, which link from the top of home page here on the blog- and have a great week ahead!
