    Iconic Things to See and Do in Southwestern Ontario

    September 22, 2020 /

    Not surprisingly, this entire year we have spent more time close to home in Southwestern Ontario. Small adventures in a controlled manner close to home are the name of the game. On a recent day off, my daughter Payton and I drove to Port Stanley after visiting a park in Aylmer. That got us talking about what the iconic tourist attractions are in each city nearby us in Southwestern Ontario. Why Southwestern Ontario? Southwestern Ontario is where I have lived my entire life to date. While I have considered moving to B.C. or the USA, I am so glad we never left. At different times I have called Kitchener, Guelph…

    Bring on The Sun, Summer Fun Awaits!

    June 18, 2018 /

    Summer fun is right around the corner. The sun is out, the temperatures are finally where they should be. It’s time to get out and enjoy the warmer months. I am a July baby. So is my oldest daughter. We seem to come by our love of summer naturally. It’s a happy, calm sort of season that breeds a feeling of contentment. We love to take road trips and hit the beach when the weather turns warm. And we have a pool, so as soon as the pool opens we are in summer fun mode. Pool parties, beaches and family travel are some of my favourite things. But every single…

    St. Petersburg Clearwater Delivers Magic #liveamplified #ad

    November 14, 2017 /

    St. Petersburg Clearwater is one of those places that has something for everyone. Maybe a tourist destination doesn’t want to hear words like dependable or safe. But for me St. Petersburg Clearwater is dependable and safe and a wonderful vacation choice every time. That matters when spending valuable vacation dollars and time. St. Petersburg Clearwater delivers the magic you want, when you need an escape. You know what I mean, right? You head away on a vacation and a piece of you hopes you made the right choice. Prayers go up to the weather gods and goddesses and you dream about the trip for weeks, maybe longer. Then departure day…

    Hiking and Exploring Bruce County

    August 11, 2017 /

    Every year, from the time I was a child, I have spent at least a week of my summer somewhere on the Bruce Peninsula. The beaches are family friendly. Trails are varied and beautiful. Don’t forget the lighthouses, marinas, shops, cottages, hotels, museums, and B & Bs too. Bruce County is Vast Here in Bruce County there is no shortage of things to do, restaurants to dine in, parks to explore and enjoy. Despite visiting the Bruce for roughly 40 years, this is the first year I ever understood how incredibly vast the Bruce County area is. Our Mother-Daughter Weekend Trip On a recent weekend, I took my daughter, Payton, up to Bruce…

    23 Things to Do in Gulf Shores Alabama

    June 2, 2017 /

    The Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area of Alabama boasts something for every foodie, adventure lover, outdoor enthusiast, or beach lover you know. Basically there are endless fun things to do in Gulf Shores Alabama as I found out recently when I visited this beautiful area of the southern state. Gulf Shores is very family friendly and would be perfect for solo travel, girlfriend’s getaways, family or extended multi-generational travel opportunities. Desirable camp sites are also plentiful in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area. There’s so much activity and Gulf Shores Alabama outdoor fun can’t be beat. Where on Earth is Gulf Shores?

    Exceptional Gulf Shores Breakfast Restaurants in Alabama

    May 31, 2017 /

    The Gulf Shores breakfast scene has me rethinking my simple breakfast style. With so many scrumptious southern options and restaurants that do breakfast well, it’s hard not to become a breakfast junkie here. What kind of breakfast do you eat? Are you a hearty bacon and eggs kind of person? A French Toast kind of girl, or the coffee and cereal type? I’m a coffee and yogurt person. Getting the kids out the door, and starting work early is a high priority here, so my breakfast style is simple. But that simplicity can get a little boring and I’m the first to admit that. So, having the chance to dine at…

    How to Enjoy Ontario Beaches When You Totally Dropped the Ball

    August 15, 2016 /

    Disclosure: This post is part of the YummyMummyClub.ca and Ontario’s Southwest Tourism #BeachInOSW sponsored program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors.  Ontario’s Southwestern beaches are some of the most beautiful beaches in North America. As a child, we visited the beaches every year. Ontario’s beaches have the most beautiful sunsets, my mom would say, and I played on many of these beaches as a child. At some point as a teen, I began to think she was exaggerating, but now, as an adult I’ve travelled a lot of beaches throughout the continent and I can tell you Ontario’s Southwest…

    Visiting Florida and Uncovering Something New

    June 3, 2016 /

    The beauty of visiting Florida is that you can travel there every year and still uncover something new and fresh and inviting on each trip. When I was younger I thought everything in Florida centred around Disney. Last year, I visited Florida 5 times and I can tell you that I was wrong. Florida is something new every time you visit. Last year was a wonderful year for travel here and 2016 is poised to eclipse that. Next week I am heading to one of my favourite states. This time I will be seeing Martin County and Indian River. This month I look forward to visiting Florida and seeing Martin County and Indian River…

    The Shores Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach

    October 22, 2015 /

    What do you envision when you think of Daytona Beach? Racing, motorcycles, parties, food? Pop culture might have shaped this popular tourist destination, but there’s a whole lot more to discover in Daytona Beach than you ever imagined, starting with The Shores Resort and Spa. This is the start of a Daytona Beach series here at Thrifty Momma’s Tips. Daytona Beach is Well Loved by Canada Florida is a popular destination for Canadians and snowbirds wanting to escape the cold for weeks, even months. Although I have been to a few different Florida cities, I recently had the chance to discover Daytona Beach for the first time. This month, I stayed at Daytona Beach…

    Kid’s Packing List Printable #travel

    May 7, 2015 /

    Whether you’re packing for the beach, or a week away at camp, it helps if the kids pitch in. But if your kids are like mine at all, then they sometimes pack all the wrong things. Like seven books, no underwear and two blankets. Heck, who needs a bathing suit at the beach anyways? Or for that matter, shorts? Or pyjamas even? I typically do the double check before we get out the door, but there are always things that slip by. Like this particular family trip when someone packed something that got us the hairy eyeball at airport security. Lucky we didn’t get more than that I suppose. Let’s…
