Dare we say that summer is finally here to stay?

With the longer days ahead of us, summertime means flexing our Out-of-Office signatures a little more to soak up some sun and get that well-deserved R&R. But, warmer weather also comes with its own challenges such as dryness, UV...

Whooooo weekend!


While I pat myself on the back for being an every-season person, I do love the start of a new season and all of the possibilities it brings. All through my neighbourhood, people are digging into their gardens, prepping their RVs, and tuning up their...

I recently had a mini vacay and took a few days to jet off to NYC. It was not only my first time in NYC, but also my first time ever having a cancelled flight! Joy! I prefer to stay positive though, and heck, it wasn't all that bad. I had a magazine, a friend, some snacks and a few hours to kill. It could have been a lot worse. 

Sure, it wasn't the easy going, smooth end to a vacation that I...

I am obsessed with travel sized items. They're just. so. cute. I can't even handle the adorableness of mini versions of my favourite products. Not only can you spend you time 'oohing' and 'aahing' at their cuteness, but (newsflash!) they're also super practical.

I don't know about the rest of Canada, but Toronto's winter felt never-ending and spring has been more than fashionably late.

Roadtripping with Kids: A Survival Guide

Recently, the Mister and I had the harebrained idea to take our kids roadtripping for a weekend during Spring Break. We based this brilliant decision on years and years of horrible experiences. 

Because, obviously, it can only improve from here (and in fairness, it was only horrible about 50% of the time. Sleeping, eating, and visiting the hotel...

The last two years have been a blur.  Between having a baby, buying a 120-year-old house, and figuring out how to balance it all with a job I love, let's just say I'm personally keeping all the coffee houses in Toronto in the black.

Recently we told you about the newly released ChoicePlus Card from American Express.  It allows you to choose five...

If you're an Orlando newbie like me, the first thing you think of when someone mentions the city is, without a doubt, Disney World. However, I recently had the amazing opportunity to see Orlando for a few days with Visit Orlando and not only did I have an incredible time, I had it without visiting Disney World. I'm not knocking Disney World by any means, I love me some Disney and I have a...

Niagara on the LakeThough the Eat Local movement has been popular for some time, drinking local isn't as often considered when choosing wine.  Yet Canada has so much to offer from our wine regions.  People come from all over the world to visit the Okanagan Valley and the Niagara region to sample our famous cold climate wines.  Ice wine is an obvious winner in Ontario, but you may be surprised to...
