It’s a tad unreal we’re just a few days away from a new year, never mind a whole new decade! Been taking some time off the feeds & really soaking in some family time before we leap (or creep) into 2020. Even if the usual crazy and twilight zon-ish that Winter Break entails, we’re enjoying rolling with our unscheduled flow (families with kids in sports/activities
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
We had a sneak peek at Toronto’s newest illuminated experience, Terra Lumina, last night. Produced by the same company that brought Tonga Lumina & other world-renowned night + light “LUMINA” events – Moment Factory – Terra Lumina is an enchanted night walk that takes visitors on a journey through a luminous vision of our planet’s future. Passing through a portal, travellers are transported to a
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
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
Memories of Mom Camp Part 2: I’ve been visiting Grey County steady for the last 13 years with our gang, but oblivious to the array of culinary gems and emerging wine and cider region that lies just a little deeper north beyond The Blue Mountains region. If you’re looking to add even more unique experiences to your Mom Camp/Retreat after your first leg at Blue
Memories of Mom Camp Part 1: You guys know what an advocate I am for a good ol’ Mom time-out/retreat. It’s never easy to step away from our families, but so necessary to recharge, and in turn, return a better version of ourselves to pour back into our people and all the things tugging at our attention daily. So, when offered the opportunity to
We’re just 3 weeks away from Summer, and while we’re still waiting for temps to creep high enough to sport a swimsuit in our neck of the woods, I’m reminiscing of our Spring getaway when swimsuit – all -day was uniform proper and sharing my favourite shops with swimsuits made for mom life, every budget & body.
