Turning 40, Friendship and Ste. Anne’s Spa
disclosure: We received a complimentary stay with Ste. Anne's Spa, however, all opinions expressed are honest and my own. Ste. Anne's Spa is an all-inclusive destination spa located in the heart of Northumberland's rolling countryside. Perfect for a relaxing and rejuvenating girlfriend getaway!

Viamede Resort, Stoney Lake
disclosure: We received a complimentary stay with Viamede Resort, however, all opinions expressed are honest and my own.

Something about this quaint resort, with the white buildings and fine dining made me feel like I was on the set at the 1987 blockbuster hit Dirty … [Read more...]

Our newest addition to the family is a Mini Australian Shepherd puppy, and I knew we had to find a way for us … [Read more...]
Family Travel with Toronto Transit

I knew they were right, and in the end, we followed their advice and decided to take our family on a little … [Read more...]
Cherry Beach Resort in Prince Edward County
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...]
