Charlevoix, Quebec is a beautiful, awe-inclusive region that offers a wide range of family-friendly activities in the winter.

Amidst a very fast and full family life, being the “forgot my hockey equipment” fetchers, viral laundry load washers, last minute grocery-getters, “can’t find my library book” finders, and Mom/Dad Uber-drivers, time and energy for romance is beyond minimal.

The best part about this season of family life is enjoying those nostalgic, and even some new,
AH-ruba💙 “You are exactly where you need to be” was a beautiful affirmation we stumbled upon shortly after arrival. Our first grown-ups only escape in over 10 years – ‘One Happy Island’ proved a fabulous place. Aruba has been on our radar to visit for a while (another tick off the Kokomo song 🎵 bucket list!) and this Lesser Antillas Island was the perfect spot

After a long weekend filled with unruly weather – a wicked storm that knocked trees down all over town followed by lots of sunshine – our lilac bushes are in bloom… beautiful things proceed upheaval. The kids reminded me it’s time to re-make our Lilac Lemonade Popsicles. These beauties are inspired by childhood memories in our backyard, the lush lilac tree tucked in the corner
