A few weeks ago – as part of a family anthology my sister in law is putting together – I got to take part in a special pre-mother’s day event. A delicious brunch and some catching up soon made way for the real ‘business’ of the day.
We had each been asked to do a [...]
One of my favourite things to do with my family is have a mini-adventure. I love getting outside, moving and enjoying different activities together, and Ottawa is full of opportunities for this kind of toddler friendly mini-adventure!
Our most recent trek was out to the Sugar Bush! We picked a glorious Saturday morning [...]
