Our kids are growing up in a digital age. Tech time is now incorporated into early learning environments. Before we even purchased a tablet for our older kids they were already using them at school, starting in JK. Considering Andrew and I didn’t have computers until we were 16 years old, we weren’t certain how to feel about such an early intro to tech. Their teachers were also using “smart boards”
We now interrupt life as we know it for hockey season! Our boys’ hockey programming is in full swing, and the NHL just started its regular season, and well, it’s safe to say I’m now a ‘Hockey Widow’.

We recently spent 3 nights at the family-friendly Deerhurst Resort in Muskoka, Ontario. We’d heard lots of great things about this resort, and with just a 2 hour drive for us to get there and an “End of Summer” discounted offer, it seemed like a great choice.

Featured in YMC.ca Life & Travel: Travelling with a Big Family is Hard; These Travel Sites Will Make it Easy Now that the Back-to-School crunch is over, my attention has shifted from camp schedules and cottage-going to hockey schedules and homework routines. Daydreams of a break from it all are beginning to creep in and whether a family vacation over the holidays is feasible with my large brood.
