If you’re like me you’ve seen some quirky things you want but then never really get it for yourself because, we have to be practical, right? One of those things for me was a wine scarf. Yes, a scarf that has a built in bladder so you could discretely drink in places you weren’t supposed […]
Last year we missed our Toronto summer because we were travelling and so we were VERY excited to head to the Toronto Islands with our kids. My friend hosts an annual BBQ on the island and the Centreville Theme Park is the highlight of the day for the kids. We’ve shared our love for Centreville numerous […]
We’ve had Shopkins mania at our house for over 2 years now and during our 148 day journey Little Monkey only had Shopkins with her for entertainment beyond her ipad. So, needless to say, when a friend told me about Shopkins Live! taking place in Toronto next week, I was all over that. The team […]
My kids love engaging in arts and crafts activities but short of throwing a box of crayons and a couple colouring books their way, I don’t do much. Of course we have PlayDOH and art supplies at home which Little Monkey grabs on a near daily basis but I am not the type of parent […]
Let’s talk family travel insurance shall we? I last spoke about travel insurance when I wrote this piece on how I did not plan to get travel insurance during my pregnancy. Fast forward 4 years and prior to embarking on our 148 day adventure, we were researching family travel insurance options. We spent a significant […]
Beados entered our home 3 years ago and when Little Monkey was merely 3 years old, she was totally into it. Fast forward three years and she’s just as excited!

Guys I have been looking for the best kids headphones for EVER! Like seriously…at least for the last 4 years! Who else is sick of hearing the theme song to “My Little Pony”, “Backyardigans” and “Paw Patrol”? Surely Chris and I aren’t the only parents right? I was on a mission to find a pair […]
Many moons ago around the time this blog was born I remember hunting down my own group of moms to hangout with during my maternity leave. I didn’t find what I was looking for so I ended up gathering the moms in my building in downtown Toronto and we hung out at play dates, free […]
As we come to the last month of our trip we’re starting to think about back to school and as you can imagine, one of the things I was never a fan of was the kindergarten lunchbox prep that needs to happen every single day. I’ve always prepped the lunchboxes the night before and it […]
As much as we love travelling and staying in local homes, there are two things I miss dearly. First – friends and family we hang out with regularly. Who knew we were so attached to them? Second – TV watching. Today, in honour of day 74, the halfway point of our #MurphysDo148Days trip, we have a giveaway […]
