    Best Cruises for Kids – 4 Cruise Lines that Kids Will Love

    January 3, 2017 / 18 Comments

    The Best cruises for kids are the ones that offer activities that keep kids excited, engaged, and stimulated. That being said, it can be hard to find a cruise line that can really deliver in that department. For a long time, cruises have been associated with older kids and adults, which makes sense to a degree when you consider you’re on a ship for at least a week and often going on off-ship excursions. Over the past decade, however, cruise lines have seen the value of making their cruises more kid-friendly. So let’s take a look at four of my picks for top cruises for kids. The Four Best Cruise Lines for…

    Vow Renewal – A Few Memorable Destinations #travel

    September 27, 2016 / 20 Comments

    Vow renewal is a beautiful and romantic thing. It’s a way for couples to reaffirm their commitment to one another in a way that’s more than just the everyday “I love you” and the occasional flower bouquet. I’ve been thinking about this lately and contemplating whether this is something we should do for our 25th wedding anniversary. I like the idea of building a memorable romantic trip together as a couple. Renewing our vows could add a touch of magic to our marriage. It might remind us how we felt that day when we first slipped those rings on our fingers in front of friends and family so many years ago. Unforgettable…

    My Top Six Mother’s Day Gifts From Hallmark #Giveaways

    May 4, 2016 / 43 Comments

      Mother’s Day is a hard time of year when you are missing your Mom. Three years ago I lost my Mom. I miss her every day and this time of year I miss her so much my heart hurts. We did things together on Mother’s Day most years, but there are many moments now I wish I had hugged her tighter, and called her more frequently, and brought her flowers every time I saw her. That’s why I want to remind you that it’s a special time of year and you need to take time to spend it with your Mom. Buy all the Mother’s Day gifts or give her…

    What to say. Let’s face it many of us struggle with words. What’s the right word? How can we get what’s in our hearts out onto paper?

    Be My Valentine – Say it With Hallmark #Giveaway

    January 31, 2016 / 46 Comments

    Be my Valentine. It’s the classic phrase, and you can’t help but love saying it. Whether you say it to your significant other or your kids, be my Valentine, is a phrase that says, “I love you, and you’re important to me”. It makes you feel all warm inside to say it or to hear it. My favorite is to pair that with a nice card and a cute item from Hallmark. Be My Valentine is My Jam! Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. Although it does involve gifts, it’s not like Christmas where everyone expects a pile of presents. Instead, it’s more about the love we feel…

    Are you starting to feel the spirit of the season yet? I don’t know about the rest of you but as much as I love summer (it’s my favourite season) there’s something absolutely lovely about cuddling by a fireplace staying indoors and watching a good TV show, or curling up with your children while flipping through the latest holiday gift catalogue that arrived at your home. We have been doing a lot of that lately here as the temperatures dip. I am happy to say we’ve already chosen a few gifts from the World Vision Canada gift catalogue so that we can give meaningful holiday gifts to our friends, teachers, and family members. Just…
