    Fun Zoom Summer Charades Game

    April 29, 2021 / No Comments

    Alright let’s all have some fun with Zoom. I mean, listen I am fully aware that Zoom is a grind sometimes. It is a blessing and also a grind. So, why not capture a little more of the fun side of zoom with this zoom summer charades game. This past year I think we’ve all had a love hate relationship with Zoom. It’s great to have as a tool to keep business going and jobs thriving. I mean I am grateful for technology and so many Zoom moments and connections with my colleagues and my family members who I can’t see right now. Silly Zoom Pandemic Moments During the pandemic,…

    Happy Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt for Families

    September 20, 2020 / No Comments

    This season, I am hunting down easy activities that remind us to find gratitude and give thanks. This Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to find some gratitude and involve the entire family in the process. What are Your Thankful For? Finding Gratitude in the every day and celebrating that can be hard work. I have been working on this during the year and I can tell you some days I succeed and others not so much. This year has tested most of us, I think. Typically, I start my day with a gratitude exercise, but to be very honest that is sometimes forgotten when I am dragging myself…

    Classic Yard Games to Play Again Now

    August 3, 2020 / No Comments

    How many times have you played Classic Yard Games over the years? I’d hazard a guess that it has been awhile. No shame in that. Me, too, actually. Back when the kids were small we played these outdoor games together often. Recapturing Childhood Remember the romance of childhood? I’m not talking about Hallmark movie romance, but that pure magical feeling that anything is possible and the only limits are your creativity and maybe Mom yelling bedtime out the front door or the window long after the sun sets. Staying up late on those seemingly endless summer nights to play, without a care in the world. No taxes or mortgages or…

    U Pick Farms Near London Ontario for Fresh Local Fruit

    July 15, 2020 / No Comments

    Why not take a quick local morning adventure or day trip to one of these U Pick Farms near London, Ontario? One of the things I miss the most this year, during this particular season is the abundance of local markets that are usually open. I often have enjoyed gathering all of the shades of the rainbow from Masonville Farmer’s Market, open from May through October in the Masonville Mall parking lot near my neighbourhood. But, this year with Coronavirus still in the driver’s seat we have all learned to proceed without a lot of our favourite conveniences. However, even with local Farmer’s Markets closed, I don’t want to sacrifice…

    Yurt Life at Wasaga Pines – Comfortable Camping

    September 5, 2017 /

    Yurt life is a hit! Let me explain. To start you should know that I have always said I would never camp. Not a camper, I told my girls. We travel, cruise, stay in cottages, and love that life. But sleeping on the ground in a tent is not for me. But, that said, there are so many different ways to access camping or glamping now that you really need never sleep on the ground in a tent to get all the benefits of camping. This past week we had the chance to go stay in a yurt for several days at Wasaga Pines. Wasaga Beach is one of my…

    25 Christmas DIY Ornaments Kids Can Make

    December 2, 2016 /

    It’s beginning to look a little like Christmas. Time to start making crafts and decking the halls with traditional and new DIY ornaments. I have one tiny tree up already. Are you starting to dress up your home for the holidays? This time of year, I am inspired by snow to get active. I actually can’t wait to get busy skiing and traveling this season. Christmas is a busy time around here, like it is in many of your . In fact, the busiest season for me professionally and personally. So I need plans to keep kids occupied sometimes. My girls are crafters and so are many of their friends.…

    Storybook Gardens review

    August 28, 2009 /

    I have always loved Storybook Gardens. As a child we used to drive every summer to Storybook Gardens from Guelph Ontario, about two hours, just to visit what was then really just a small park and petting zoo. Storybook Gardens has blossomed and I still enjoy this lovely spot in the summer. I also enjoy skating with my family on the path they flood in the winter to make an ice rink. The new splash pad and the massive renovation that took place several years ago now was an excellent investment. Storybook offers interesting events occasionally and also rides. The pirate climber area and the toddler’s climber were also really smart additions…
