This year my Mother's Day was the best one yet! why? because my whole family was invited down for a behind the scenes look at one of my favourite family friendly places- The Toronto Zoo! The Toronto Zoo will forever hold a special place in my heart as being our first travel destination as a family of five. It was our first hotel stay and our first big venue and it was a success! It was exhausting but a success none the less! It made us realize we really could do travel and fun with … [Read more...]

Vacationing with the Whales at Marineland
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Travelling with kids is not a "holiday". That's completely misleading! lol 'holiday' conjures up images of stress free relaxation and this on the other hand, is not.
