Summer Fun at the CNE

From August 15th to September 1st there are lots to do for the whole family at the 136th annual Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, Ontario. It is a wonderful place to hear music, smell the aroma of funnel cakes and cotton candy, and be part of many shows, rides and exhibits. Last year we learned a lot about farming at the CNE. There will be lots of new shows and attractions at the CNE this year, as well as returning popular attractions such as the CNE Zip Line, Sky Ride, SuperDogs, The Flying Wallendas, the 65th Annual Canadian International Air Show and more.

Being Treated Like Royalty at the Medieval Times

We felt like royalty at the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. It was much more fun and exciting than I anticipated. It is a one-of-a-kind experience. From the time we entered, all the guests were referred to as lords, ladies, young knights, and princesses. It was as though we went back in time to the Middle Age of honour, valour, and chivalry, which was fun for everyone in the family.

Getting to The Summer Bucket List with the #StreamTeam

August is the perfect time to do all of the things on our summer bucket list that we haven’t gotten around to yet, whether it’s camping, hiking, or taking a road trip. This month the Netflix stream team has put together a list of titles to help families get inspired and take full advantage of summer. 

The Fuel Collection For School and Work Lunches

Times have changed since the humble brown bag ruled the lunch room. Many schools have taken the initiative to be eco-friendly and require us to bring a litter-less lunch. This insulated tote bag with adjustable strap is wonderful to carry our lunch in. The quality of food, the variety and portions we take for lunch are more important than just the convenience. Making a meal that is appealing and then putting it in a container that is well designed and multifunctional, will keep our food the way it is supposed to be enjoyed. 

Day Ja View Calendar for the School Year

Day Ja View is a calendar developed by a Toronto mom in partnership with Time of Day Inc. Day Ja View helps busy families stay organized throughout the school year. This organizational tool teaches children to be responsible, get involved in their own scheduling and manage time. This simple, functional calendar is useful for the whole family.

Stay Safe with ESET Mobility Security and Win an Android Tablet

In today’s world, smartphones keep many of us organized and connected. We do everything from banking to emails to scheduling. Our smartphones also serve as our on-demand photo albums, and as an educational and entertainment tool for our children. Due to personal information being stored in our smartphones, they become a target for hackers. For me knowing what threats exist, learning to have safe online habits, and using proactive protection is the best way to stay safe online.
