    5 Benefits of Multi-Generational Travel #travel

    April 12, 2016 /

    Listen to me closely. If you are in your 30s and 40s and thinking why on earth would I want to take my children’s grandparents along on a trip with us, there are a few things you need to know about multi-generational travel. Both sets of our parents have passed away and I wish more than anything that we had had the time and money to include them on our big annual trips together to see the world. My husband and I both always managed to go to the cottage together with our respective families and that was one sort of multi-generational travel experience that will stick with us forever.…

    Our Winter Ski Getaway – Parkbridge Life Lakes of Wasaga Ontario Resort Suits Your Family All Year Round – #ParkbridgeLife

    March 3, 2016 /

    Need a place to stay that’s flexible enough for a family of 4, or a family of 8? An Ontario Resort that’s not hard on the budget and close to several Collingwood ski hills and tourist attractions? Parkbridge Lakes of Wasaga Resorts is perfect for any time of the year, and their ski chalets are absolutely gorgeous. Parkbridge Resorts can be your home away from home for a winter weekend, a summer break, or a longterm commitment. This February we found ourselves with a long weekend and a few days off of the kid’s rehearsal schedules and extracurriculars (Hallelujah!!) so we decided it was time for a winter getaway. There was no…

    Riding The Cat Trax Express Up Madonna Mountain at Smugglers’ Notch

    February 10, 2016 /

    We are climbing up the side of Madonna Mountain. It feels like we are hanging pretty much vertically inside the cabin of a decommissioned trail groomer, defying gravity. My brain tells me this is impossible, but I am willing to give it a try. The kids are vibrating with anticipation. Fingers crossed, I am hoping that this ride rewards me with the most spectacular view at the top of the mountain. I plan to try to capture some of the Cat Trax evening Upper Mountain Tour experience in pictures that will last me long after we have left Smugglers’ Notch family ski resort, Vermont. Riding The Cat Trax Express The Cat Trax Express…

    Eco-Tour by Airboat in the Florida Everglades #Travel

    January 5, 2016 /

    I am whipping through the Florida Everglades by airboat. Up until now my closest experience with an airboat and an alligator was in the movies, as in me watching them race by on Miami Vice, or in the movies. Or me laughing or scoffing at TV shows like The Gator Boys. In all honesty, this is a tiny bit of why I decided to do this today. My kids are massive fans of the show The Gator Boys. I know they will be impressed with this adventure and I have never been in an airboat, so this feels like it will be an exciting way to spend a Fall day.…

    Guest Post: Pick the right day to fly Busy airports, crazy-high fares, winter weather delays — are you sure you want to do this? The busiest (and most expensive) travel days of the year are around the holidays. Armed with our fare calendar chart (see below), you’ll save a lot of stress and small stocking of cash by picking the right days to fly. Rise and shine Don’t want to miss the carving of the turkey or the unwrapping of presents? Book the earliest flight you can. Sure, you’ve got to wake up early, but those first flights out are the least likely to be delayed, and airports are blessedly calm at…

    6 Easy Common Sense Tips for Flying with a Baby

    August 4, 2015 /

    Flying with a baby can be extremely challenging. Between crying, squirming, and general baby angst, flying with a baby can be a daunting proposition for you, and sometimes for the other passengers too. But people do it every day so what’s the big secret? Preparation. Fear not! If you take the right steps, you can limit the amount of baby angst, and make the flight relatively painless for you, for baby, and for everyone else on the plane. Air travel can be challenging for anyone, but it is a necessary part of travelling and it is often more manageable when you plan ahead. Make sure your next family trip is fun…

    Camping With Toddlers 101- Keeping Your Sanity and Keeping Them Safe

    May 11, 2015 /

    Camping with toddlers is a wonderful way to show them all kinds of new and exciting things. It’s a way for the family to bond over every leaf and bug and critter you come across. It’s also a great way to lose your mind if you don’t come prepared. Camping with Toddlers 101 When camping with toddlers, you have two main concerns: keeping them safe, and keeping your sanity intact. Toddlers can be tons of fun, but they can also be little devils if they aren’t properly occupied and stimulated. Tiny, screaming, red-eyed devils. You know it’s true. So what are we to do? I’m so glad you asked! Keep…
