Since my son was born, I made it a yearly tradition to attend the One of a Kind Show in Toronto. However, after going year after year, I’ve been finding the show rather repetitive. I’ve only noticed a handful of new artisans and I’ve pretty much purchased everything that I’ve ever wanted to buy. That’s […]
Active for Life. The importance of physical literacy for kids
I don’t like to preach (much), but there’s some things that I am passionate about. One of those things is being active. I’m definitely not the most active person on the planet but I try to keep fit in one form or another. Whether it’s ensuring I go for decent walks daily, run-around with my children […]
Family Fun at The Ex, Canadian National Exhibit (CNE)
One (of the thousands) of benefits of having a child is getting to explore your city and the numerous events that take place throughout the year. Last year, while seeking an activity for my son and I, I attended The Ex, at the Canadian National Exhibit for the first time. Since I have such fond memories of that […]
It’s a Facebook Miracle!
For all the slack that Facebook receives, for all of the bad that it sometimes causes, there’s also a lot of good that comes from Facebook. Namely – reuniting with old friends and people from your past. I have three main types of friends on Facebook 1. My close friends that I see and speak to on a […]
Keep the hockey spirit alive at Toronto’s Hockey Hall of Fame
It might be summer, but it feels more like spring with all of the rain coming down on Toronto. While I’m lucky that my son loves doing art and crafts, we only have a finite amount of wall space available for his work. So outings are necessary. But where do you go in Toronto when it rains? […]
10 reasons to go see the Shrine Circus
This week, looking for something fun and different to do on the long weekend, I went with my family to see the Shrine Circus. I’ve never been to a circus but have always wanted to go. When I received the chance to attend the Shrine Circus during their Toronto stop, I jumped at the opportunity. The circus didn’t disappoint and […]
Stay With Me. A light-hearted play for kids about a parent’s separation anxiety. Now playing in Toronto
When it comes to separation anxiety, my son is king. I mostly attribute it to the fact that I’m such an amazing mother! (sarcasm is obvious when written right?). Actually, I attribute it to the fact that I’m a stay-at-home-mom. My son doesn’t know anything else. While we do go to a lot (emphasize A LOT) of […]
Looking for a new and exciting workout? Fitwall is great for strength training #vertically
I saw an interesting Facebook thread on a friend’s wall recently that introduced me to the concept of Fitwall, a new and exciting workout to hit Canada. After signing up for a Warrior Dash a few weeks ago, I made the decision to train seriously and properly. Besides running, I also need to strength train, and this is where Fitwall […]
Father’s Day Toronto Style
For the past three years, we celebrated father’s day up in cottage country. This year, we stayed in the city. So to make the day extra-special, we took-in the city and I had a few special gifts planned for my husband, such as this mens wallet from VintageLeather. Living in the city, it’s hard to […]
Toronto Family Day Event for a Great Cause; TheChill.ca #StoppingKidsCancerCold
Family day was first introduced in Ontario in 2008. Beyond another long-weekend to break up the looooooong winter, it’s a great way for a family to spend some much-needed time together. While my husband and I enjoyed this long weekend even before we became a family of three, we love it even more now that we […]
