The Best Travel Gear for Toddlers

June 30, 2017 By Megan 2 Comments

The Best Travel Gear for Toddlers

As of today, we are officially on summer break over here. Or, the kids are at least. “Schooooool’s out fooooor…the summer!” Don’t mind me, I’m just re-living some old-school movies. Does that give away my age? Oops! While we don’t have any huge plans for the summer (newborn plus two other kids and all), we… [Read More]

Visiting Sparta, Ontario

Visiting Sparta, Ontario

In the past week, we’ve discovered two new and beautiful areas within a half an hour drive from our home, that we otherwise totally forgot existed. I think that often, we look for adventures and travel experiences elsewhere, forgetting that there can be some amazing gems much closer to home than we ever imagined. Sparta,… [Read More]

Toronto Travel Guide for Families

April 12, 2016 By Megan 5 Comments

Toronto Travel Guide for Families

Toronto is a great place for families. From winter to summer, there is always a ton of things to do. I’m slightly biased – I lived there for almost 7 years – but it’s one of our favourite weekend getaways within a decent time’s drive. Mind you, Toronto traffic is brutal and something we never… [Read More]

Visiting Steed & Company Lavender Farm

Visiting Steed & Company Lavender Farm

We recently had the opportunity to visit a gorgeous lavender farm just outside of the city in which we live. They were hosting their annual fairy festival, so it seemed like the perfect time to go. From a gorgeous field filled with fresh lavender (so relaxing that baby K fell fast asleep), to local organic… [Read More]

Planning an Eco-friendly Picnic, and the Best Picnic Gear

We love picnics. Whether it’s a picnic on one of our favourite local beaches, a gathering in a nearby park, or even an impromptu picnic lunch in our own backyard, our summer is often filled with picnics. As soon as the weather becomes warm, one of the first things we do is pack up a bag of our… [Read More]

Best Toys for Travelling – from Babies to Preschoolers

Best Toys for Travelling – from Babies to Preschoolers

When school ends and summer hits, many families are spending a good chunk of time en route, whether it’s day trips in the car, much longer road trips, train rides or an airplane flight. And once the cold winter starts over here in the Northern Hemisphere, I know many of us like to catch some… [Read More]

Grand Bend and Bayfield Family Travel Guide

The area of Lake Huron on Ontario, Canada that encompasses Grand Bend and Bayfield beaches are a favourite of ours. Since we have family in the area, we spend as much time as we can in these areas every summer. The beaches are wonderful and family-friendly and we could spend endless days just having fun… [Read More]

Making Time for Mom

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
