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 – Where 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. All these life restrictions weren’t on our family vision board! 😉 Like many of you, we’ve had to post-pone/cancel Summer travel plans. So, we won’t be resorting or jet-setting to some of the
April is one of our favourite months to travel. It usually marks the end of a long Winter & demanding hockey schedule – our time to exhale & connect as a family off the grid. I think we’re all missing those escapes fiercely that were part of our well-being…something wanderlusty to look forward to. We’ve had to cancel all of our family travel plans
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
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
