Soulpepper Theatre Company celebrates the joy of the holiday season with its fifth annual Family Festival, starting in December. The big boys, Nana & I had such a wonderful time attending A Christmas Carol at the Festival last year and look forward to returning in a few weeks time to see Peter Pan. Located in its multi-venue home the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in
Today we’re kicking off the first of our “HOK Favourite Things” Holiday Giveaways! It’s not a coincidence I’m starting with a fabulous prize package to Ste.

It’s been a few months since our Mexican whirl to Riviera Maya, and seeing that travel is some of our most sought out content and some of you many now contemplating a Fall/Winter getaway (I feel ya!), wanted to get our review of the Royalton Riviera Cancun up for you guys! We booked this trip with 19 hrs to go before departure! The most last
It’s been a few weeks since I returned from a wellness retreat to Ste. Anne’s Spa with four fabulous women. As we wind down a hectic week as a family, you could say visions of returning to this place where rejuvenation is the only thing on your agenda are swirling through my mama mind. I get that our lives are full and it can
