It's become a bit of a tradition for our family to kick off the new year with a winter hike. On new years day we like to pick a trail and set out together to enjoy the snow and ring in a new year with some fresh air and exercise. I haven't always liked winter, there were plenty of years I preferred to stay inside bundled up under blankets, but come on, being Canadian we would miss a lot of living if we hibernated through the cold months right?

Canadians know that life doesn’t stop just because it gets cold outside.

The kids are back in school and parents are back to work and routines too, which means everyone needs a packed lunch on their way out the door.
