It’s here… it’s finally here! Ripley’s Aquarium has opened its doors in Toronto. I have been waiting for this day for over a year now. In anticipation, I’ve been speaking about the aquarium to my 3 year old son as I needed another human being to be as excited about the opening as I am. Surprisingly, I […]
A day of Family Fun at Centerville Island Toronto
Summer might be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. The sun is shining so take advantage of the great weather and head with your family to Centre Island. The journey alone, the ferry boat ride, from the newly named Jack Layton Ferry Terminal in downtown Toronto, is so much fun. On […]
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.

10 reasons to go see the Shrine Circus

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 […]
Confessions of a stay at home mom (SAHM)
I always imagined that being a stay at home mom would allow me to do some of the things that I didn’t get to do while I was in the workforce. I pictured myself visiting different neighbourhoods throughout Toronto, walking around, discovering new stores and enjoying the fresh air or a nice cup of coffee. […]
Delicious and sustainable Mexican food for the whole family. Chipotle review & Giveaway
About five years ago when I was in New York city for work, a colleague of mine suggested that we go to an amazing Mexican restaurant near our office. Not knowing the area we were in too well, I took him up on his offer. I have never heard of Chipotle (www.chipotle.com) before, but I […]
