Sky Zone Opens In Vaughan

The hugely popular Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park opened its third and largest GTA location in Vaughan. With over 36,500 sq. ft. of space, the brand new facility features four party rooms, and activities like Ultimate Dodgeball, SkySlam (an awesome take on basketball that allows anyone to slam dunk like a pro), Foam Zone pit to jump into, and an all new Ultimate Volleyball experience unlike any other.

Funny Movies Inspired Craft

We know laughter is the best medicine when we all feel tired, and not feel too good. Netflix has lots shows we can choose from that will give us the comic relief we need. Curling up on the couch with a movie or show like Mr. Popper's Penguins can take our mind off the hustle and bustle of the day, especially with night approaching so quickly. Here is a list of laughter-inspired titles for both little and big kids.

Healthy Hydration

Being hydrate has lots of overall health benefits. My family and I try our best to keep hydrate and mostly reach for water. Even though we all know the wisdom in drinking water, majority of Canadians are more likely to reach for sugar sweetened beverage than a healthier alternative to tame those taste buds. Brita water recently conducted a survey on beverage consumption habits and found some interesting facts.

Having a Game Night with Monopoly

Monopoly® is a fun games that has been entertaining families since 1935. People love the roller-coaster ride to success in this game, as they get to Pass Go, take a Chance card, and get to build the property of their dreams. I enjoyed playing Monopoly for hours with my family and friends when I was younger, and now I have started to play with my children.

Planes: Fire and Rescue

Planes: Fire and Rescue has flown into retail stores in Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD. My children enjoyed watching this heart-pumping, laugh-filled follow-up to last year’s smash hit “PLANES,” as world famous racer Dusty Crophopper joins an elite fire and rescue unit and learns what it takes to be a true hero. It has non-stop action, memorable characters and bonus features, and is a wonderful animated family film.

Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes Crafternoon

Whether it is family breakfast or having an afternoon snack, it is always great to have easy, nutritional food choices for our children to enjoy. My children enjoy eating cereal mostly for breakfast, but occasionally they would eat it as snack as well. I really enjoy using the regular Kellogg's Rice Krispies to make snacks for my children, and find my inspiration for recipes from their site.
