    March 5, 2015 - By

Our fun times and parties incorporate kid’s games and family friendly activities. What do you do for St. Patrick’s Day? Do you celebrate at all or play it low key? Regardless of whether you go all out or stay home and play it low key watching a movie, pretty much anyone can appreciate a simple word search.

    Laser Pegs Ultimate Construction Toy #Giveaway

    February 25, 2015 - By 

    I am so excited to share this toy with all of you. Laser Pegs is a brand that I first learned about during Sweet Suite, which is a party that happened at the same time as a New York Blogging conference I attended back a couple of years ago. I remember being really interested in this one because it was a light up construction toy that makes science, technology, engineering and math totally fun for all ages and genders. Anyways, back then a couple of years ago I think the brand had just a few smaller sets on the market.…

    Fun Family Day Word Scramble

    February 13, 2015 - By 

    Family Day is a unique holiday to Canadians. It started in Ontario when a Liberal premier determined we needed a break in February. So Family Day became a long weekend in February in several provinces and frankly it couldn’t come at a better time. We often go skiing for Family Day. There are some really awesome places to do that in Ontario. A few weeks ago I began planning for Family Day here and this year I have a Family Day word scramble to share as well as a batch of Family Day activities that are free for you to…

    Dora The Explorer Live in London #ldnont Save with this Presale CODE

    January 27, 2015 - By 

    Dora The Explorer Live is coming to London, Ontario soon. My kids loved Dora when they were small. I loved her because she was educational and fun. What’s not to love about your child learning another language? Plus Dora is a fun, smart, quirky girl who solves small puzzles and repeats words often so that everyone learns something from watching her. This was one of our first live shows that we ever saw, and it was also one of our first TV shows that the kids watched. In celebration of this upcoming show I wanted to share an exclusive Dora…

    It’s that time of year again!! Disney on Ice is coming here again! Alright I promise that’s the end of the rhyming for this post.

I will never ever forget the look of awe on Payton’s face the first time I took her to see the amazing skating show. She was a bit over two years old and she was mesmerized by all the glorious activity. As magical…

    Mike The Knight On Tour in 45 Cities!

    January 20, 2015 - By 

    When my girls were small I loved taking them to events and live shows. The look of excitement on their faces was priceless. Watching a beloved character come to life on stage just feet away from where they sat or stood dancing, well it almost had them vibrating with glee. We have seen many shows over the years and know how fun these live theatrical productions can be. That’s why I am happy to share Mike The Knight with all my readers. Mike The Knight is embarking on a 45-city national tour starting this month! A highlight for readers here…
