    May 26, 2021 / No Comments

    So, if this year is anything like last year then we might all be working on creative ways to keep kids busy. Why not set up your own version of day camp? Mom camp with summer weekly themed activities for kids. I mean when kids are little this totally makes sense. Here are a few ideas for summer weekly themed activities.

    June 15, 2020 /

    Oh boy, I know I don’t need to tell you that this year has been a doozy. We are all looking for some cheery ways to get through the summer. I’ve seen a lot of Christmas in July kinds of events happening online and at the start of the entire pandemic Christmas was a beacon of hope for many. Some were decorating trees in the front of their homes with Christmas decorations and bulbs as a show of strength and hope. Others put their trees up and I heard of one family who was actually doing a full Christmas in July kind of thing back in early April. So, Christmas…

    How to Help Active Families Protect Their Skin

    July 5, 2018 /

    This post was sponsored by Banana Boat. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful.  Active Families need sunscreen that is as strong as they are. My family is on the go all year long. We choose to be busy doing a wide range of sports indoors and out. We lead an active lifestyle and work hard at that every day. It’s important to me that we are active together and modelling good habits that will carry into the future when our kids are adults raising their own families. Healthy activity daily leads to better physical and mental health. That’s simply not negotiable here. In the summer, our…

    Find Your Strength at Pioneer Camp Ontario

    May 28, 2018 /

    Every January my youngest daughter begins the camp countdown to Pioneer Camp Ontario. That’s six or seven months of anticipation before the eventual August drop-off every summer. In many ways this camp is the gift that keeps giving all year long. Of course there’s the week at camp, or lately the two weeks there and the enjoyment, independence and creativity she gets every single year attending Pioneer Camp Ontario. But long after camp itself, every single year Ainsley comes home inspired, engaged, confident, calm and grounded. How Did We Discover Pioneer Camp Ontario? Just two summers ago my family was invited to a Bloggers’ Weekend Retreat at Pioneer Camp Ontario. We…

    What’s On Your List – Summer Bucket List Printable

    May 18, 2018 /

    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…
