    Long Weekend Ribfest, Barbeques, and Wonder+ SimplyFree

    Its London’s biggest barbecue – Ribfest – and it is one of our favourite things about life in London in the summer. This weekend we took a day and headed over to Victoria Park to sample the amazing ribs. This is one of my absolute favourite parts of summer – the long weekend barbecue. Whether you gather in a park with hundreds of others, or simply barbecue at home there’s no better way to celebrate summer. This past long weekend we did both. We headed over to Ribfest to enjoy the ribs, ride the rides and lap up the gorgeous…

    Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil : a review and some thoughts about tipping points

      When I first received this product from Tropical Traditions for review I was a bit taken aback. It is a jar of Virgin Coconut Oil and I will confess at the risk of sounding foolish, it came with no instructions and I assumed it was a skin care product. I saw nutritional information on the side and that made me wonder. Also the consistency of the product was well – a bit lumpy and wrong for skin care. I read the nutritional information two or three times and may have even tried to see if I could use it…

    Wonder + Simply Free Blog Tour and Early Canada Day

    This year we plan to be out of the country for our Canada Day celebration (well at least for the day that Canada Day actually falls on.) That will be odd because we often spend Canada Day at Niagara Falls or at home having a big party. See our family does summer big with multiple birthdays and anniversaries and cottage time and barbequing is a huge part of that tradition. This year though we had a chance to participate in several barbeques leading upto the big day and we helped host one for friends and family, with the help of…

    The Thrill of Last Minute Travel

    My kids, my husband and I have had a lot of adventures and they have been successful and fun, save for one very difficult flight back from Jamaica a couple of years ago when my youngest who has sensory processing disorder, had a major meltdown at 30,000 feet in the air. But we dealt with it and moved on. (And so did some of the passengers sitting nearby.) My daughter was very tired and frankly a flight attendant might have avoided the whole panicky episode if he hadn’t been so insistent that my darling girl cram her blanket and favourite teddy bear into…
