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

Delight Inside Specially Marked Kellogg’s cereal

Do you remember a time when opening a box of cereal brought the excitement of finding a surprise inside? I have always found it thrilling and adventurous when there are goodies inside the cereal box. It's like going on a treasure hunt at the breakfast table. I remember collecting stickers, and collectible cards as a child, which was very exciting... this was probably one of the reasons I wanted to have cereal as a child for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner :)

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.

Celebrate Star Wars May the 4th

We are huge fans of Star Wars. My son is super excited that Star Wars: The Force Awakens, lands in theatres around the world on December 18th, close to his birthday. In celebration of May 4th, the unofficial Star Wars holiday, I would like to showcase the DK Star Wars Boutique that has cool Star Wars titles. We have checked out many of the books in this boutique and really enjoyed reading them, as well as looking at the pictures and drawing.

An Easy Way to Contribute To Your Child’s RESP at Tax Time

I hope all of you have started your taxes for 2014! :) Since the time is approaching to finish filing tax returns, I wanted to mention how easily we can save for our children's future by contributing towards a Registered Education Savings Plan (or RESP) via our tax returns. As a parent, I think it helps if we think about our children's education starting from a young age, instead of waiting for the days when it gets closer for them to go to university or college. This savings will minimize future stresses, and help us be in a position where we can help our children with their schooling.
