Back to School Maze Printable #BTS
Back to school means back to the bus stop for a lot of people. Are your kids bused or do they walk? We’ve had great luck with school bus drivers so far at this new school. So that’s one thing I don’t mind, or fret over. Our driver was such a lovely man this past year that he called our house a couple of times to make sure my kids had arrived home safely.

5 Reasons For Travelling in June and July #travel
It seems a little bit kooky to want to travel in June or July, especially to a resort, and most especially if you are a Canadian.

Maybe so, but I have travelled a few times now off season to resorts in June, July and even August, and the results have been surprising. Travelling in June and July can be worth it for many reasons. [tweetthis]Sometimes resort travel can be cheaper in June and July. #travel[/tweetthis] 1.…
