    My 6 Favourite Podcasts for the Morning Commute

    December 15, 2022 / 1 Comment

    So, it’s been awhile since I shared a little about what I am up to these days. Six months ago I took a position as social lead at a marketing agency in Cambridge, just outside Toronto. I lead a team of talented social media professionals and I enjoy that. It’s a hybrid job which is the way of the post-pandemic world. Two days a week I drive to Cambridge, about an hour and ten minutes from my house in London, so I have time in the van and have discovered podcasts. These are 6 of my favourite podcasts to listen to in the van on the way to work. They…

Well, with the prices of gas constantly fluctuating any and all tips are welcome here. Fuel saving techniques are obviously related to driving habits, but did you know they are also dependent on vehicle maintenance? It’s true.

    Buying Snow Tires – What You Need to Know

    January 15, 2018 /

    Buying snow tires is something I have debated and put off for a couple of winter seasons now. Last year I got new all-season tires in the spring and assumed they’d get me through the winter. It wasn’t a super snowy year, but there were a few challenging winter road trips, especially on our annual trip to Vermont. This year with all the snow in the forecast, and the number of ski road trips we take, I knew I needed them so I started shopping months ago. I had so many questions initially. Are they worth the money? What kind should I buy? Which snow tires are best with my…

    Five Free Travel Games to Make Road Trips More Fun

    July 12, 2017 /

    Travel games are a great way to make any trip better. They are especially good, however, for road tripping. Road trips involve long hours crammed together in the car, and while at first blush this can seem like a great way to promote family bonding, in a few hours, everyone typically is a little bit cranky. That being said, travel games can turn road trips into a fun experience from start to finish and free travel games are even better.   5 Free Travel Games to Keep the Road Trip Moving We all have our favorite games to play on the road. Some may make the list here, and some…

    Traveling ABCs Roadtrip Printable Scavenger Hunt for All Ages

    April 14, 2017 /

    This year we took a long road trip to Vermont and stayed at Sugarbush Resort. It was an amazing five days and a memorable adventure capped with a lot of skiing and some fantastic foodie experiences too. But it started with a long 9 1/2 hour drive. A drive that long can be a nightmare with kids, or it can be a fun experience. Unless you have a Printable Scavenger Hunt. Now, I don’t have to tell you Moms and Dads out there that a drive that long can easily go either way. If you plan well, then a big drive can be educational, fun and memorable. If you fail…

    MiVue 480 DashCam – Safe Technology for Your Drive #Giveaways

    January 31, 2017 /

    MiVue 480 DashCam offers drivers a bit of extra security on the road. That’s something we can often use. A few short weeks ago a friend reported that she and her husband had been in their truck when it was hit head on by a car that swerved into oncoming traffic. She had video posted on Facebook from their dash cam. I have no idea what kind of camera they had, but it helped to show who was at fault. It was shocking.

    Winter Driving Travel Tips – Staying Safe in the Snow and Cold

    January 9, 2017 /

    Winter driving tips are super important for so many areas of the world. It’s that time of year. The weather is frigid, the snow is falling, and along with all of that, the ice is here. Traveling in winter is about staying safe and protected from all of these things – ice, snow, and cold. These winter driving tips will help you get where you’re going and get there safe. Winter Driving Tips to Keep You Safe In my opinion, one of the biggest contributors to winter accidents is that people forget that you need to approach driving differently in the winter time.

    Sign The Pledge with Your Teen and Make Roads Safer

    February 27, 2014 /

    If you are a parent of a child about to start driving then you want to hear about this pledge to make roads safer.     Driving is one of the biggest rites of passage for a young adult. Getting your driver’s license is an epic event, one children begin fantasizing about from the time they are small. Little boys practice driving their imaginary cars almost as soon as their brains are capable of creative play. Girls too. My oldest daughter just last year pulled her iPhone out at the beach and warned me she was only 1598 days away from being old enough to get her driver’s license. (Ouch!)…

    14 Things You Must Have on a Family Road Trip

    August 10, 2009 /

    Heading out on another family road trip which means I have some packing to do. Since we started this great foray into family travel my husband and I – well mostly I – have learned a few things about the tricky business of travelling with tots in tow. My first tip for travelling with children is planning, planning and then planning some more. When we flew to Disney last year it was my daughter, Ainsley’s first flight. She was four and, for those of you who don’t know, she has sensory processing disorder, which means life is often too loud, too bright, too fast and etc.. you get the idea.…
