7 Reasons We Love Vermont Skiing
Vermont skiing is our happy place. As you can probably tell from the many posts I’ve done on the subject, we are a family of skiers. My entire family came to this game late. I only learned how to ski in my 40s!! But ever since that first season when we strapped ski boots on and took lessons at Mont Tremblant, we were hooked. We love to get out on the slopes for the day and then return to a cozy, warm room to relax and unwind. We’ve skied in several places but one of our favorite places to ski as a family is Vermont.

Take The Pledge – Raise a Food Lover
This post is sponsored by Loblaws. Lately I have been thinking a lot about food and the act of nourishing a family. For instance, what does it take to raise a food lover? Fall means back to school and routines. Sometimes that’s exciting. Return to a regular schedule can mean new beginnings and that’s fun, even re-invigorating. Around here that may mean less barbecue and more quick family-friendly meals. Or more slow cooker meals. The Fall schedule means more meal preparation, planning and organization, which also means easing back into a routine in the mornings and at dinner too. The flip side of routine is that it doesn’t take…

What’s On Your List – Summer Bucket List Printable
Summer is one of my favourite seasons. I love winter because of ski season and outdoor sports. Ski season is everything in the winter months here. But the warmer months, when my pool is open and the beach is just a drive away…well that’s also all that and a bag of chips. To me spring and fall are just shoulder season. Definitely not much for me there. But summer well that’s golden. The problem with summer is it flies by so fast you can hardly get a grip on it. It is gone in a blink. So how do you wrestle it into submission? Or ride all the days until…

This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Once the snow clears it’s pretty easy to identify signs of spring at my house. One child gets spring fever and starts behaving a little off the wall. And at least two of us start sniffling and sneezing. That’s what happened this year when we had that rainy period of time in February. Not a fan of an early thaw for a few reasons. Chief among those – spring allergies.
