    What It’s Really Like Getting a Coronavirus Test

    September 28, 2020 /

    This is our story of what it feels like getting a Coronavirus test. Here’s my disclaimer. We live in London, Ontario and we went for Covid tests the week before Labour Day when one of us showed 1-2 symptoms. Waits for testing and actual local case numbers were low then. Now, they have changed. This was our experience getting a Coronavirus test. Why Were We Getting A Coronavirus Test? Three weeks ago, my older daughter, who was just about to start university went to sleep with extreme stomach upset. After a night spent running to the bathroom, we were a little concerned. Sure, it could have been nerves at starting…

    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…

    Evolve at This Canadian Summer Skateboarding Camp

    June 3, 2019 /

    I have partnered with Evolve Camps, a Canadian action sports and skateboarding camp, to bring you information about these exciting summer camps. I received compensation for this post. My opinion is all my own. Hard to believe there’s only a month left of school. Then comes the chaos at home all summer, unless you have some tricks in the form of summer camps up your sleeve! Evolve Camps summer action sports day camp is a great way to keep kids active and busy! Picture your child dropping into a halfpipe confidently at skateboarding camp or discovering new tricks at scooter camp in London. Is There a Skateboarding Camp in London?…

    The Best London March Break Camps

    February 21, 2019 /

    Spring break is almost here. Some years it sneaks up on you, doesn’t it? Oh, I remember well the mad last minute panic to find something to occupy the kids when school was suddenly out for March break. But, you don’t need to panic. There are so many great children’s camps and programs that there’s always something to do. In London, there are several March break camps for kids that are extremely fun and creative. Many are also quite affordable. When my kids were small we tried most of these creative children’s programs and we’ve had experience with most of the ones below and can vouch for them as quality…

    Top 5 Frequently Asked Disney Vacation Questions

    November 13, 2018 /

    This is a sponsored conversation with local business Click the Mouse London.  Let’s face it, a Disney trip is a rite of passage, an experience you have to share with your kids at least once. Even if your kids aren’t big on princesses or Mickey Mouse, you don’t want your kids to miss the chance to experience the wonder and joy only a major theme park can offer.   In both Disney and Universal parks, the immersive experience can’t be beat and the level of service is second to none. But if you aren’t very familiar with Disney and Universal (like you didn’t know that The Wizarding World of Harry…

    Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Others

    December 13, 2017 /

    From the moment they arrive, your kids become your number-one priority. We all know it, and there’s nothing wrong with that — but it sometimes causes you to neglect yourself. Here’s the thing: Taking a break and treating yourself is absolutely necessary for a healthy body and mind. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves — and yes, sometimes even spoil themselves — so they can properly take care of their children. BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments here in London, Ontario (or another treatment at the medical spa) are sometimes all the R&R you need to look and feel rejuvenated. And by the way, you deserve it. Why Your Skin…

    Union Burger To The Rescue #Giveaway #ad

    Union Burger to the Rescue. Well, that might be a bit dramatic but frankly every single person I know understands that occasionally meal planning goes out the window. There are nights when the meat isn’t thawed and work is hectic and you are racing the kids to martial arts, or quite simply you are too tired to cook. On those nights your family needs a quick dinner solution. There’s nothing at all wrong with that. This past weekend was a busy one. Like every single weekend ever during the school year. We did the usual roundup of kid’s scheduled activities on Saturday and worked out at the YMCA and then…

    Memories of Mexico and Easy Summer Nachos with Guacamole #BornOnTheFarm

    Summer in London, Ontario is all about the festivals. When we moved here 15 years ago and I started my job as a daily news reporter I was immediately taken under the wing of one of the senior editors. She’d come from Kitchener too. Over time, she told me about the area’s best restaurants. And she highlighted a few things to do at crucial holidays – for instance New Year’s EVE at Western Fairgrounds. But the biggest highlight that still stands out – all of the summer festivals. From May through to Labour Day this city’s parks are lit up with festivals. There’s SunFest and RibFest, FoodFest, Pride of course,…
