Living in downtown Toronto I’ve visited The King Edward Hotel (or King Eddy as we locals like to call it!) on numerous occasions and last year during March Break I even took the kids to enjoy their famous Afternoon Tea. With our upcoming travels where we are going to be with the kids 24-7 for […]
I married into a Newfoundland family that welcomed me with song and dance open arms. I first met a few of them 9 years ago (well before the hubs and I were engaged), and so I thought I knew exactly what people mean when they say “Oh. People from Newfoundland are the friendliest”. Yet, it wasn’t […]
Toronto’s Aga Khan Museum opened in September 2014 and it took us over two years to get there! I kept seeing amazing pictures of the architecture and design of the building and knew I wanted to take the kids there but didn’t have the chance until recently. Yes, it’s a museum of Islamic art, Iranian art […]
Canada is famous for Icewine and my dad absolutely loves this sweet and decadent liquid. Yet, despite visiting Ontario’s wine country quite often, we had never made it to the Niagara region for the Icewine festival. With my parents being away and their Niagara on the Lake Bed and Breakfast being vacant, we decided to […]
While we were on our romantic getaway exploring the Outaouais region, my parents took the kids for their own little holiday and as you know, we’re huge fans of grandparents being hands on! While Baby Boy and Little Monkey were more than happy to spend the entire weekend roaming around my parent’s Niagara on the Lake […]
Having spent a month travelling around with the kids, I was reflecting on our romantic getaway to the Outaouais region this past November. During our second night on that quick Quebec weekend getaway we checked into the Hilton Lac-Leamy. From the moment I entered this hotel in Quebec I was captivated by the amazing artwork […]
With its abundance of great wine, delicious craft beer, and fine French cooking, Quebec is one of our favorite places to visit. After finding a number of great adventures with the kids in Montreal last year, Yashy and I recently travelled, sans kids, to the the Outaouais region, where we stayed in Gatineau and included a […]
We recently passed through Ottawa on a trip to Outaouais with a craving for good Middle Eastern food. Luckily, we had a foodie friend in the area and she sent us in the right direction, recommending that we visit Fairouz Restaurant, and to make sure we ordered the Baba Ganoush. As we passed Kingston, Yashy pulled up Open Table and […]
It had been a good while since the hubs and I travelled without the kids and so when I discovered that we had won a romantic getaway in the Outaouais region, I was OBVIOUSLY thrilled. I often get asked about romantic getaways from Toronto and what I discovered is that less than 5 hours away, […]
A few months ago, I went for my first massage. Friends had told me that massages are the ultimate treat for the human body, but I had my doubts. For one, I am ticklish. Not extremely so, but enough to be wary of an hour-long massage, and these worries ended up being warranted. At regular intervals […]
