While each mother may have a different idea of what they want to receive for Mother's Day, I think we can all agree that we don't want to have to cook or clean up on our special day, we just want to spend quality time with the family. This post is sponsored by Mariposa Cruises. As always, all opinions are my own. Mariposa Cruises can deliver all of that, but on a whole other level.

Kids Who Love Cars – The Canadian International Autoshow is a Must Do!

Family Travel with Toronto Transit
When I mentioned to my GTA friends that I was thinking of bringing the family downtown Toronto for the Santa Claus parade last weekend, they made it clear that under no uncertain terms were we to attempt driving. They warned me that the crazy traffic, hard to find parking spaces and cost of parking our vehicle would have us stressed out before we even found a spot to watch the parade.

Centreville Amusement Park Review
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.
