OMG: My Kid Can Drive Now?

February 12, 2015 by Kath Leave a Comment

So, a few days ago this happened: Yes, that is my daughter. Yes, that is a learner's permit in her hand. And—because we live in Alberta—yes: she is behind the wheel at fourteen. Legally. And since last Friday (when she passed the test), a day hasn't gone by that she hasn't greeted me as I … [Read more...]

The Epic Road Trip

August 13, 2014 by Kath 16 Comments

The mission was simple, if daunting: pack two families into an SUV, drive from Toronto to Florida for a week and then – gulp – drive back again. It may have been a very foolish idea indeed: seven people, one vehicle and twenty-four hours on the road in each direction. What chaos might ensue? In … [Read more...]

4091 Kilometres later

August 14, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

I tried to update a few more blogs whilst away in Cape Breton but I had terrible internet connection. I guess that’s the whole point of a vacation right? Unfortunately, I'm not wired that way. If you were in Cape Breton last week, I was that guy trying to find a wi-fi connection on a raft in the … [Read more...]

Snow Day!

February 17, 2013 by ChantelK

Well we all know how excited children get when a "Snow Day" is announced, and last weeks storm was no exception! As soon as my kiddies got home from school last Thursday all they could talk about was how school would be cancelled in the morning because we were going to get a whopper of a … [Read more...]

Diagonally parked in a parallel universe

August 30, 2012 by Christine

Cuyler: "Mom, how old do you have to be to drive a car with autism?" Me: Cars don't have autism. People do, silly!! Cuyler (not appreciating my humour): "NO! How old when you have autism can you drive a car?" Me: Ohhh. Hmmm. I don't know. I don't think a lot of people with autism … [Read more...]

TomTom is Fun-Fun

January 21, 2011 by sam_temptingmama

This review could have seriously been broken out into at least two parts. I just really wanted to tell you what I think of the TomTom GPS. I know it's long (and well worth the read) but to help you along, I've highlighted some points, bulleted others and underlined the awesome stuff. :::GPS was … [Read more...]

Drive Me (Crazy).

January 3, 2011 by Amanda

Driving anywhere with my kids is an exercise in madness.See, we own a huge pick-up truck (since we have an apple orchard and need a massive rig to haul our fruit to the packing house each fall) and all three kids are packed into the same row of the cab. Three girls, duking it out.The eldest sits in … [Read more...]

Winter Ready. Or Not.

January 2, 2011 by sam_temptingmama

I have never owned a set of winter tires. There, I said it. I've lived in Canada all my life, I grew up in the Snowbelt - the one between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay (yes, there's more than one) - yet no winter tires. In fact, the only winter preparation I do is the under coating on my Malibu Maxx … [Read more...]
