Expressing With Art

Art is a form of expression that allows us to easily convey our thoughts and feelings. From the first time we draw a dot or scribble as a baby to now when we draw a picture or take a photograph, we are trying to tell a story, express our thoughts and emotions to another person. We have all heard of the saying that a picture says a thousand words. 

Exploring the Oceans at Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

My family and I had an awesome time exploring all that is offered at the Ripley's Aquarium of Canada. We were very excited to see the 135,000 square foot largest, indoor aquarium in Canada that has two levels with over 16000 animals found in the oceans and lakes from around the world. 

AstraZeneca #HumanEdge Exhibit At Ontario Science Centre

At the exhibit, we can explore all the wonders and possibilities of the human body, which made us appreciate and thank God for how miraculously we were created.

Benefits of Being An Avioner This Holiday

During the holidays, shopping malls can get very hectic, crowded and busy. However, having an Avion RBC card changes the feeling of chaos and makes us feel like "royalty" instead. With the RBC Visa Avion card, we can get our car parked by valet, relax in the VIP lounge away from the crowd and enjoy shortbread cookies and warm beverages, while our gifts get wrapped for free.

Win Tickets to Disney On Ice Princesses & Heroes

Disney On Ice will be presenting Princesses & Heroes during the December holidays in Toronto. We can enter a world of wonder where heroes and hearts prevail. 
We are excited about being able to see high flying jumps, daring acrobatics, breathtaking skating and lovable Disney friends during Disney On Ice Princesses & Heroes. 

Travelling via Emirates

This summer when we travelled to Sri Lanka we travelled by Emirates via Dubai. We travelled from Toronto to Dubai on the Airbus A380.  
Travelling via Emirates was fun because of the spacious seats. I like that we can put the seat hand resting part up and allow children to sleep flat. We enjoyed their ice entertainment that kept us busy during our long journey.

Fall Adventures With Disney Junior

I am very excited to announce about Disney Junior’s Princess and Heroes Contest. The grand prize for this contest will include round-trip flights to Toronto, two nights stay at a hotel, rink side seats, backstage character meet and greet for a family of four. The winning family will also get a $1000 for a Disney Store shopping spree.

Your Chance to Taste the Delicious South St. Burgers

We enjoyed eating the veggie burgers with different toppings at South St. Burger Co. The soy based veggie burger tasted flavourful, so we didn't miss the meat in our burgers :) I like that we can custom make our burger with any amount of toppings we like. 

For All Ice Cream Lovers The First Magnum Pleasure Store In North America

We got the pleasure of making our own customized Magnum bar at the first Magnum Pleasure Store in North America. The Magnum Experience pop-up-stores have been around the globe in countries such as London, Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul and more. I am glad they popped up closer to home. This unique experience of customizing our own ice cream bar is exquisite and exciting for children and adults. My children and we enjoyed watching the process of our ice cream bar being customized with the topping we chose.

There is a fresh new food option and concept from Blue Goose for us to enjoy at Toronto's Harbourfront until October 2013. The three shipping containers designed from Montreal based, Muvbox is sourced from sustainable materials and use solar power. The Common Goods containers give us different, organic options to try when we are on the go. It is a wonderful atmosphere to meet up colleagues, friends and family to enjoy the delicious food. I tried the delicious lobster roll and the fabulous hibiscus drink.

Exploring the Harbourfront on the Mariposa Cruise

Mariposa Cruises gives us a wonderful opportunity to explore the Toronto Harbourfront. People of all ages will enjoy sightseeing, while cruising on the calm waters of Toronto's inner harbour. Mariposa Cruises is a wonderful way to relax, enjoy the cool breeze, and see the famous Toronto skyline.

Stay Fit Cycling

My husband believes the most fun way to stay fit for him is cycling. He just wishes there is more good weather to do this often. We introduced our children to cycle with a tricycle first and now they are in the process of learning to ride a bike. This has become one of our favourite summer activities.

Riding a bike not only benefits our body, but also the environment as it is emission free. We should be walking/riding the bike to help our environment, whenever we can. Lets celebrate the World Environment Day on June 5th by doing something that will help the environment.

The Tallest of the Tall Ships Will Be Sailing on the Great Lakes

Watch the 15 ship fleet at Toronto's waterfront, as the tallest of Tall Ships come to the Redpath Waterfront Festival from June 20th to 23rd. We are excitedly looking forward to enjoy the decks of these Tall Ships, as they come to commemorate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. I am sure it will bring back memories of our favourite shows like Sinbad, Jake and Never land pirates and Pirates of the Caribbean.  

Watching The Skies As It Is Almost Time For Us To Fly

My husband is a space enthusiast and love talking about stars, space shuttles, airplanes, and even about aliens (star wars) :) His enthusiasm towards these have obviously rubbed off to our children, so they were excited to watch flights landing and taking off for a long time.

Check out this video we took of the Airbus A380 Super Jumbo landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport. We will be travelling in this big bird soon :)

Our Fabulous Experience Watching Stars on Ice

We had an awesome time watching Stars on Ice at the Air Canada Centre. We enjoy watching figure staking on TV, but haven't watched a live-performance of Stars on Ice before so it was a wonderful treat for us, especially my daughter as it was the night before her birthday. We enjoyed the show and meeting/greeting the stars at the after party.

Our Discovery at LEGOLAND

If you a fan of LEGO, then I am sure you too would be excited to be in a place full of LEGO attractions like the recently opened LEGOLAND Discovery Centre at Vaughan Mills mall. This indoor LEGO Centre has lots of fun things that the whole family will enjoy. 

When we were entering the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre it didn't look like much, as we can't see everything from the outside. Once we enter there is a world of LEGO attractions for us to explore. 

Our Experience and Pictures from the Green Living Show 2013
