Maui with Baby. What to see and do!

by

Edit: It’s been 3 years since I wrote this post and we’ve been back to Maui since then with THREE (3) kids, five and under, in tow. I have an updated post about more of our family adventures: Maui with kids; what to see & do. Last year we were fortunate enough to go to Hawaii […]

Is it a boy or a girl? Only the cupcakes know! (the best baby gender reveal EVER!!)

by

There are two very different views when it comes to finding out a baby’s gender*.  Some people can’t wait to find out as soon as possible (generally around 18 – 20 weeks), while others prefer to keep it as a “surprise” until they deliver.  John and I are in the camp of “can’t wait to find out” and we did as […]

Day and Night; Tremblant, Quebec has something for everyone

by

We just returned from our 2nd annual family ski trip to Mount Tremblant, Quebec.  Unlike last year, Kyle and I flew there while the rest of the gang made the seven+ hour drive from Toronto.  Kyle and I flew Porter (www.flyporter.com).  I can’t say enough good things about this airline.  The experience was amazing and […]

T’is the season of Chrismukkah

by

It’s December, and that means that the holidays are upon us. I’m Jewish and I married a non-Jew. My husband, John, describes himself as half-Jewish and half-Oshawa, the city he grew up in.  This also happens to be partially the rational behind our son Kyle’s middle name – Joshua or Jew-Oshawa. Amazing – I know! As my husband […]
