It’s been a month since we returned from our getaway to Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort and I’m happy to be finally sitting down to tell you all about our experience and give you an honest review of the property. It’s been a full, whirl-wind month of celebrations & other life commitments, which made it feel as though we hardly took a vacation
While we’ve been waiting for Spring to, well, spring around here (we may be skipping it altogether here in the Toronto area and going straight to Summer!), #DadChef and I have been trying out some Spring-y recipes. In lieu of heading to a busy restaurant for Mom’s Day, I’ve already given the fam a nudge that a quiet, simple celebration at home enjoying some of
If you’re looking for a beautiful way to spend some quality time with your mom or motherly figure in your life this Spring, the Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) region would make a fabulous choice. Thanks to our friends at Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake, I enjoyed the most wonderful experience with my own mom last year, so here are some suggestions for a great way to spend your

March 8th is International Women’s Day, and this year’s campaign encourages us to #BalanceForBetter, and think about how to forge a more gender-balanced world. Two years ago, I wrote a modified version of the following essay, and I choose to re-share each year around IWD – a compilation of my hopes as a woman raising both genders and a recommitment to how our family
We were happy to say ‘Buh bye’ to the longest month of the year, and “Hello” to February (aka The Month of LOVE). For us, February means lots of family connection while riding out the last bits of Winter (vision-boarding, Winter hikes & activities, board games, and this year, a road-trip to Quebec for Family Day weekend!), a low-key Valentine’s Day fam jam at home,

After a few weeks of indulging to the max (it was the holidays…we celebrated, and that entails ZERO guilt or punishment), it felt good to get back to healthy eating this weekend. And since you know how much I love sharing cooking hacks, I will declare my new-found love of sheet-pan cooking! After weeks of drooling over recipes in the LCBO Food & Drink
Soulpepper Theatre Company celebrates the joy of the holiday season with its fifth annual Family Festival, starting in December. The big boys, Nana & I had such a wonderful time attending A Christmas Carol at the Festival last year and look forward to returning in a few weeks time to see Peter Pan.
