We love how our City of Toronto lights up this time of year and getting out to enjoy the twinkling beauty of it all as a family. Next week, a new light event comes to the Greater Toronto Area – Christmas Glow Toronto – and we’re so looking forward to experiencing it & starting a new holiday tradition! Glow Toronto is said to be the
Tis’ the season to do good, show love and give back. Raising our kids to live with a spirit of generosity and kindness is top of the parenting priority charts for us. During the holidays especially, we really try to highlight that it’s not what we have but what we do with what we have that matters most. It’s a virtue my own parents demonstrated
The longer I’m on this creator journey & pouring into our family platform, the more important it has become to be involved with projects that reflect our core values and build those into the work I put out and the partnerships we align with. Well, we are pretty proud Canadians, who believe in living with a spirit of generosity and kindness and keeping our family
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
We’re back from a fabulous family holiday, but not so wonderful is the post-vacay sickness takedown we’re being hit with this week. The remedy? Recreating this Turkey, White Bean & Kale soup our gang gobbled up a few weeks back when the weather temps dipped. It’s great as a starter to your Fall dinners, holiday menu or just another to add to your family’s “soup
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
We had a fun visit to our local Farmer’s Market this weekend and picked up some fresh local fruit, veg & goodies, including a new bunch of peaches, which are at peak season right now. They don’t last long around here, but I do try to incorporate them into our meals if I can snag a few away. Now, there are two types
Muskoka is always a fabulous idea during our Canadian Summers, and we’ve just returned from a really fantastic lakefront family resort in the region – Severn Lodge – we’re excited to give you all the deets about. 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. This time, an epic mom-son adventure to immerse in an array of activities and soak in some uninterrupted one-on-one bonding time with my oldest I crave being usually tugged in
Summer Meals Simplified with Summer Fresh We’ve just enjoyed our first Canadian long weekend of Summer up at the family cottage. While the lakeside views and crisp fresh air are unlike any other, let’s be real, cottaging with kids is A LOT of work.
