Growing up my parents took my brother and I out on many camping holidays, we started in a tent when we were really small and graduated to a tent-trailer when we were older and moved around to different campgrounds each time. My husband spent all of his summers at the same campground year after year, in a large trailer. So we are no strangers to camping, but fast forward to three kids and almost 40 years old and roughing it no longer sounds like a good time. We were delighted to find the perfect … [Read more...]

disclosure: We received a complimentary stay with Lakes of Wasaga, however, all opinions expressed are honest and my own My family loves the beach.

Disclosure: We took in the rides at Centreville Amusement Park at no cost in order to write this review, however, all opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way. We had a fun visit to Centreville and hope you do too! I've been to Toronto many, many times in my life, yet I had never been over to Toronto Island. This past weekend, that all changed when we boarded the whole family onto the ferry and began our adventure to the Island. I cannot believe it took … [Read more...]

In my last post, I encouraged you to get to know Niagara Falls from above, below and behind. And you should, you really, really should take a day and do all of that, but what else is there to do besides getting drenched by a waterfall? Turns out lots! More than you will ever get to do in one visit, but I do have a few suggestions for you based on our end of summer visit to Niagara Falls Ontario. So check out those waterfalls, ride the boat, pose for some selfies and then … [Read more...]

Some people wish their whole lives for the chance to see the greatness of Niagara Falls, but fortunately for us, we are just a road trip away and have been blessed to see the rushing water many times. I'm sad to say that, up until now, the most interactive we've gotten with the falls is to stand on the pathway above and pose for the customary "we visited Niagara Falls" photo. On a recent visit during the last days of Summer, we decided to get up close and personal, to show our … [Read more...]
