  • Summer Safety Tips for Pets

    With sunny skies and warm weather still heating our days, many families are taking off for the cottage. It wouldn’t be a family get-away if the pets were left at home, so if you have plans to head to the cottage for the long weekend or the remainder of the…

  • Win 1 of 2 Free Movies from SCENE {Canada only}

    My family loves the movies. My husband and I head out to a show at least once a month, and we try to take the whole family monthly too. This can get expensive with a family of six though, so we rely on SCENE points to help us get to…

  • Loving the new Back to School styles

    It’s the back to school shopping time of year, so we have been out in the stores quite a bit. It’s fun to get the kids some new clothes for school, and a little depressing to have to buy winter coats and boots in August! Last year I waited until…

  • The “fruits” (and veggies) of my labour #LMDConnector

    One of my favourite things about summer is my garden. I love growing and eating my own vegetables, and I really love teaching  my kids how to grow their own vegetables! Each year is a new experience with the garden. We always lose something to our local bunny. While this…

  • Amazing Shows and Discoveries at SeaWorld

    Our last full day in California was spent at SeaWorld. We had never been to SeaWorld before, but we have visited a Canadian Marine life theme park in the past. We know that our favourite things at this type of park are the shows, so our main goal was to…

    My son and I recently had the chance to visit Disneyland. I have been to Disney World a couple of times, but this was my first visit to Disneyland in California. I kind of expected it to be very similar to Disney World, and some things were the same, but…
