When was the last time you woke up and decided on a whim that you didn’t really want to do what was on the agenda for the day? Being a parent, it’s very rare that you can abandon your responsibilities and decide to be spontaneous. And yet, that’s exactly what happened to me. I woke […]
We FINALLY snuck out for a proper date night this week and it was awesome! Lately, we’ve been doing quite a few day dates while the kids are in school, but there is something to be said about actually going out for dinner and a movie in Toronto! When AIR MILES invited us to the […]
This past week, I attended two great performances in Toronto, The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-Time, the Tony Award winning play based on the popular novel of the same name, and Arabella, a Canadian Opera Company production written by Richard Strauss.

This week we celebrate a couple big milestones and things worked out perfectly when we snuck out for a date night to watch the Book of Mormon. It was all so last minute and a total surprise that it made it all the more exciting. This week Little Monkey turns three and she also started […]
My summer bucket list was fairly long but I’m glad to report that I’ve managed to tick most of them off! Our Netflix challenge this month was to tackle our summer bucket list and boy am I glad they gave us that additional push as I had two items that were being pushed down the […]
Crazy For You. Yup that sums this past weekend when the hubs and I sneaked away to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary in Stratford, Ontario. Two days away from the kids and our very first time doing so! We had a blast, as did the kids with my parents! Stratford is a true cultural hub […]
