Books that encourage Painting and Drawing

We have been using several art books during the past few months to practice our art skills, and make it a routine to do drawings and paintings. We find that this helps us to be more mindful and appreciate nature.

Exploring Gatineau while Staying at KOA

We chose to stay at the Cardinal, Ottawa South KOA during our road trip from Toronto towards Ottawa, Outaouais, and the Laurentians. Staying at the KOA deluxe cabin made it comfortable to relax, play, and make our meals leisurely before heading further into our trip. We love that the KOA locations are close to the highway making it easy to stay and explore the area.

Camping Road Trip in the Hyundai Santa Fe to explore Point Pelee

We love the spacious comfort of the 2017 Santa Fe Sport 2.4 SE AWD, which made our camping road trip to Pelee Island and the Point Pelee National Park a memorable experience. We were able to load all our camping gear and everything else we needed for the road trip. 

Order Your Personal Planner for the New School Year

We have been using Personal Planner for years to make our planners, calendars, and personalized notebooks. We love the designs and the freedom of making the planners and books as we wish on the Personal Planner website. The format to personalizing is fun for both children and adults.

Marinated Meat to take when camping and Corn recipe

In the summer, we like to do camping, and I find it requires quite a bit of planning prior to the trip from what food to pack, minimum number of clothes to take, and fun things to do while there.

STEAM education encouraging kits from Twiggle Toys

I love the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) education approach, as this method encourages children to have fun while they develop age appropriate essential skills needed for lifelong learning. Since our children were babies, we have always been enthusiastic about hands-on-learning. We have used creative approaches, everyday materials, kits and tools to further their knowledge.

Family Friendly Experience at Living Water Resort

During our recent visit to Collingwood, near Wasaga Beach we had the pleasure of staying at Living Water Resort. We enjoyed our stay in a double queen bed deluxe suite, which has an aesthetically pleasing design and décor. The suite has everything we need for a comfortable family stay including a kitchenette, bathroom with a Jacuzzi, and a walkout balcony.

Keeping Children Occupied on Road Trips and Hiking at Parks

During the summer months, our minds are in one gear to travel and explore! When travelling with young children we have found being prepared makes life on the road much easier. Even when our children were babies, we always travelled with toys that entertained them such as rattles and plush books. I remember, we had memorized the words on these books as we had read it to them multiple times until one day they were ready to read it back to us.
