Winter Fun Guide to Québec City for Families: Where to Stay, Eat & Explore It feels really good to be travel writing again, and today, one of my favourite topics of all – how to discover the joie de vivre of Winter in Quebec City with your family. I hadn’t been back to Québec City since a class trip in Grade 7. After an 8-hour
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.

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.
