Will travel for food and drink has been my motto since I was a child and on every trip we take, I do my best to hunt down local eats. Since Chris spent most of his childhood in Cape Breton and because we visit Cape Breton with our kids at least once a year, I’ve […]
During our recent stay at Hotel Xcaret Mexico with kids, we were able to make full use of the unlimited Xcaret Experiencias Park access that came with our stay. To me, this is the most attractive feature of the hotel (well, the food at Hotel Xcaret Mexico was pretty amazing too). It was like having […]
We enjoyed a night at possibly the best hotel in Chicago for kids. On our way to Puerto Rico for March Break we had a 19 hour layover in Chicago and was able to enjoy the many kid focused hotel amenities on offer at the Langham Chicago Hotel. We’ve been huge fans of Langham properties […]
Winters in Toronto can be rough and this year we’ve had our fair share of school bus cancellations. However, a couple weeks ago, the unimaginable happened…they actually CANCELLED all schools one day!! While buses have been cancelled in the past, school has always remained opened (rather unfairly many might argue) so most parents were caught […]
This week, we recap our multi-generation trip to Portugal. We started the trip in Porto before renting a van and driving to Lisbon, and then ending the trip at the Martinhal Beach Resort and Hotel in Sagres. Chris’ parents joined us on this trip and it was a great week of exploration, fine dining, and […]

Chris and I have been lucky to enjoy a couple kid free nights recently thanks to my […]
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 […]
Living in downtown Toronto in one of the most touristic areas of the city, it can sometimes be difficult to shop local and avoid the big chains when it comes to every day purchases. Supporting local businesses has been something we’ve been very conscious of and when Moneris, a trusted Canadian payment solutions brand who […]
Toronto is one of the more popular cities when families decide where to visit in Canada because Toronto has plenty to offer during every season. You may remember our list of things to do in Toronto with kids in the summer because I am totally guilty of telling visitors to Toronto that spring to fall […]
This Toronto winter there’s a way to bring some colour and happiness into your lives! If you missed out on The Happy Place, the 7 To (#The7TO as it’s officially being called) at the Hudson’s Bay Queen street location is where you want to go. This Instagram worthy art installation opened earlier this week and […]
