Living in Toronto, Niagara Falls has always been a favourite destination for me and my family. We often take for granted the fact that we’re only an hour’s drive from one of the Wonders of the World. However, every time we take a trip there, usually at least one once per year, I’m reminded of […]

My family and I visited Walt Disney World in November. It was our first trip there and I must admit, it was so much more than I had expected. I had visions of Cinderella’s castle, the classic Dumbo ride, princesses and Mickey & Minnie Mouse. What I didn’t realize was just how big Disney World is. Not […]

A distant memory now, but last month my family and I spent a week at Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe resort in Punta Cana Dominican. Every winter we try to go on a family getaway down south to soak in some sun before the cold (and typically) harsh weather. Last year we went to Azul Five […]

Last month, my family embarked on an amazing trip to Hawaii.  It wasn’t our first time there. In fact, it was our fifth visit to what is known by many as ‘paradise on earth’.  What was new this time around was that we took all three kids along with us. That’s right… my husband and […]

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Often, it’s very true. However, I’ve noticed that when I take pictures of my family where they stop and pose, while great, the pictures aren’t always very telling. It’s those candid moments, when my family doesn’t realize that the camera is there, that best capture […]
