Papaya Juice & Colourful Entertaining Products from Trudeau

I love the new wave of bright colours and cool shapes of kitchen items for the table from Trudeau. These products with the beautiful timeless appeal and functionality truly celebrates colour. My family and I love using these products everyday, and I am glad they have used organically coloured glass and sustainable wood, which is also good for the environment. I love how we can match our decor with these vibrant hues and bring excitement to our summer entertainment.

By staying at Toronto West KOA, my family and I were able to explore three different Halton Parks that is in the Halton Hills, Milton, and Campbellville area. We enjoy exploring conservation areas and appreciate what they do to preserve the natural beauty.

Carefree Camping at the KOA Deluxe Cabin

We loved our two-night weekend stay at the Toronto West KOA in Campbellville, Ontario. There are more than 485 Kampgrounds of America (KOA) locations in the U.S.A. and Canada since founder Dave Drum constructed a campground on the banks of Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962. The campgrounds are conveniently located close to the highways and byways so we can stay overnight and relax during road trips without detouring before proceeding with long journeys.

Cruising on the Niagara Belle

Niagara Belle cruise
My family and I had an amazing time cruising on the Niagara Belle. This new Niagara boat tour allows the entire family to soak up the beauty and history of the stunning Niagara River from the decks of a fully restored New Orleans-style paddle wheeler. As we spent two hours sailing and enjoying our lunch cruise we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and was able to have a relaxing time.

From play to function these Snappy Towels are a must have for every child. Both my children have been enjoying their Snappy towels in a variety of occasions. Since the towels are personalized, these towels have become really special to my children. They love all the things they can do with the towels from turning it into a super hero cape, princess robe, wings, hooded towel, poncho, blanket wrap and more.

The Adventurous UE MEGABOOM

Say Hello to Logitech Ultimate Ears’ latest addition to its award winning line of portable wireless speakers, the UE MEGABOOM. It is designed to be a premium portable Bluetooth speaker in every way. If product packaging is an indicator of brand quality, the UE Megaboom’s packaging certainly makes its case. The speaker is enclosed in a large plastic cylinder with a carry on handle. Pulling the tab open from the side reveals the speaker and the bright yellow Micro-USB Wall charger. Since the UE MEGABOOM comes in different colours such as charcoal black, lava red, electric blue, and plum UE could have matched the colour of the wall charger with the speaker instead of standard yellow for all.

RAVPower® Dual USB Car Charger and Portable wireless router

We usually take turns charging our phones while driving, and I found this RAVPower® 24W 4.8A Dual USB Car Charger with iSmart Technology very useful. I was initially skeptical about charging 2 phones at once on a dual USB charger because I was afraid it might blow the fuse on the receptacle by drawing too much power to charge 2 phones at one time. I gave it a try because the specs indicate that there is a multiple safety system such as Temperature, Short-Circuit, Output over-current, and output over voltage.

It doesn't matter if you go every year or haven't been for years because going to the Island is a wonderful escape from the daily routine, and a fun way to enjoy summer. There are lots to do for the whole family. Our favourite activity is going to Centreville and enjoying the rides. This year we even got to meet pirates

Reversible Hats for Children and Women

Summer is an exciting time for everyone in my family because we get to be outside a little more and enjoy the sunshine. Although, being outdoors is fun, it is important that we take precautions and keep ourselves protected from the UV rays. I have been looking for cute sun hats for my children, and was super excited to check out the really cute reversible Flapjack Kids hats, as well as the fabulous women's reversible hat from Luvali Convertibles

Books and Gifts Our Little Travellers and Explorers Will Enjoy

There are two important words we teach our children from a young age, that is to say “please” and “thank you”. I love these travel board books: How Penguin Says Please! and How Tiger Says Thank You!. These additions to the Little Traveler Series by Abigail Samoun follow a loveable animal across the globe, teaching toddlers and parents to say “please” and “thank you” in seven popular languages: French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish.

New Ariel Park at Santa's Village in Muskoka

We had the pleasure of visiting Santa's Village a couple of years ago, and again this summer. This famous and popular tourist destination in Bracebridge is nestled in Muskoka’s Enchanted Forest, halfway between the North Pole and the equator on the 45th parallel, which naturally makes it Santa’s one and only Canadian summer home. The Village celebrated its 60th year this season. There are two theme parks, an aerial park, a day camp, animals, and a family campground, where kids of all ages can visit Santa, enjoy rides, games, and countless other family-friendly activities.

TaoTronics® Products for Our Home and Lifestyle

I really enjoy having useful devices in my home, in the car and when we travel. There are many technology devices that make everyday activities convenient. This TaoTronics' Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight has become useful for us, as I have placed it in the entrance to our home, so I have a light source when I walk in. I like that the energy saving LED light is bright, and has a white light instead of a dull light.

TaoTronics® Products Our Vehicle and Travel

This Air Vent Mount Car Smartphone Holder from TaoTronics® is a good alternative to suction cup enabled car accessory holders. Having the phone “at our fingertips” attached to the car air vent is very useful. I like that it holds our phone securely without scratching it using two padded expandable arms. The way this holder is designed enables it to fits most phones with different charging inputs. Another advantage of this holder is that it can be turned 360 degrees making it easy to view your phone at a comfortable angle as well as to use larger screened phones in landscape mode.

Our Experience at the Espace Pour La Vie Montreal

During our stay in Montreal, we visited the Space for Life. We took the train from the hotel to this space, which was convenient than looking for parking and finding the location. I like that all the four attractions are close by, which makes it convenient to visit the attraction at the same time; especially because we went for a short visit.

Jabra Stealth Bluetooth Headset

I have used many Bluetooth devices before, however nothing compares to this awesome Jabra Stealth that ensures crystal clear conversations at both ends of the call because of its HD voice and Noise Blackout™ technology. This Noise Blackout™ technology reduces background noise from our conversations, making it easy for us to talk with the Bluetooth device as though you are next to the person.
