We can’t believe it’s been over a month since our soul-fueling family getaway to Lambton Shores, Ontario – just 1.5 hours’ drive from Toronto and a fantastic spot to kick-start Summer break. With it’s Blue Flag beaches, world renowned Lake Huron sunsets, vibrant culinary scene, hike n’ bike trails, parks and attractions, a getaway to Lambton Shores is a fun-for-the-whole-family kind of destination and we’re
With stay-at-home orders on the cusp of lifting in our province, we asked the kids where we should go once local travel restrictions ease, and it was a resounding “Tobermory” all around! We had an unforgettable mini escape to this wonderful harbour village on the Bruce Peninsula last Summer. Appropriately called “Canada’s Caribbean”, it’s Ontario’s Azure water wonder where you’ll feel like you’ve teleported to
How is it March 11th? A whole year since “cancelled” became the norm & necessity. The anniversary for most of us here in North America of when all the world came to a standstill. Our getaway to Village Vacances Valcartier was the place we’ll forever remember as ‘where we were when’ life as we knew it turned on its head and lockdown ensued. A heart-racing
Local Love Ontario Day Trips – The Best Places to Eat & Wander with Your Family this Summer (*UPDATED: including FALL*) It feels like forever-ago since we did a family travel post. I’ve missed it.

Our Winters are long, our schedules full, and our weary parenting souls were in need of a reset by January’s end. We found a pocket in the kids’ schedules and knew it was time to invest in our well-being & some much needed couple time to connect. We’re grateful for Nana and Papa who step in when they know we need a break, and heading
The temperatures are quickly dropping & the white stuff has already made an appearance in our neck of the woods. While we’re all bundled cozy in our parkas this week I’m warming up by reminiscing of our family getaway to Jamaica & our unforgettable stay at Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa. I wanted to get this post up sooner, but, well, life! But
It’s been over 3 years since hubs & I have spent more than a few hours away from the babes. No longer in the season of babyhood, but now in a season of full calendars filled with kids’ activities and social events, finding time for “US” is tricky. But there was a pocket in the hockey schedule this weekend and we seized it. Thanks
If this Summer had a feeling, ‘joie de vivre’ would be a good description (with the usual Summer travel shenanigans 😉). When deciding on where to cap off Summer with the family, so many mentioned Mont Tremblant. And after our very first visit, we can see why – the food, the atmosphere, activities for all tastes, Tremblant really has it all! So, if a visit

Here are 4 reasons you should add this one to your family getaway list if you’re looking for classic family fun in Muskoka! *Disclosure: Two-nights’ accommodation & meals
It had been 14 years since my last visit to la belle province Québec. Last time a romantic whirl in Montreal with hubs, and before that a Grade 7 class ski trip MANY years ago.
