Checking in from the UK to report on our whirlwind 3 day tour of Paris! Wow. What an adventure. We stayed with friends, celebrated their son's 12th birthday, walked, ate, traveled by boat on the Seine, learned naughty words in French, drove Paris by night, explored Versailles and much, much, … [Read more...]
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Finally the day is here! My 9-year-old son and I have been planning this trip for ages and today we are actually on our way. No more "5 more sleeps". No more packing or planning or wishing. Here it is! And we are two very lucky people. Tonight we leave my hubby and 6-year-old daughter for an 11 day … [Read more...]
Great Wolf Lodge Getaway
With the economy the way it is, I've noticed a real trend this March Break for families to stay a little closer to home. Far fewer of us are planning the big weeklong getaway to southern climes, and more of us are looking at local and more economical options.When offered a night away at Niagara … [Read more...]
On the Radio
It all started simply enough...in early May my husband brought home a new family car. Bill works for Volkswagen, and we're a VW family. My last three cars have all been Passat wagons, and while I LOVE them, one has pretty much been a replica of the other. This latest was a little different. There … [Read more...]
Staycation…all I ever wanted!

This year, with the high price of gas, crazy airline ticket fares … [Read more...]
My Top 5 – Paris
Yup, lucky me! I just got back from 10 days in London and Paris. I had been to London before (my "little" sis lives there) but never Paris. And, it was just me and my hubby. Jealous yet? Don't blame you. It was amazing. It was my gift to him for a very special birthday. Gotta love those … [Read more...]
2 Nights in a Tent
Well folks, I did it. Yup. I slept 2 whole nights in a tent! A real tent in a real campground. And the second night it even rained. The strangest part is, I actually had a good time. As you can probably tell I was none too keen on the camping component of this visit to see my sister. Our trip to … [Read more...]
AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY – DISNEY’S EPCOT
Epcot is more than twice as big as either the Magic Kingdom or Disney-MGM Studios. It rarely sees the congestion so common to the other parks but the big attractions have lines every bit as long as those of Space Mountain or Rockin' Roller Coaster. All this is to say be prepared to do a lot of … [Read more...]
Fun, Sun and RELAXATION
Sorry for my recent absence but I've been "busy" relaxing on the beach. My husband finally managed to convince this obsessive workaholic that it was time to take a break. No blackberry. No internet. No urbanmoms.ca. What's a girl to do?! Believe it or not, I managed just fine. After all, … [Read more...]
