Picnics always seem like a good idea. We have visions of a beautifully packed wicker basket full of healthy summer food and lemonade enjoyed while lounging under a tree or on the grass. But the reality doesn’t seem to live up to our expectations. We spend heaps of time chopping and assembling everything together in random containers, dragging it all out and about with us, then eating meals, that quite possibly include sand as a condiment, on floppy paper plates.

Summer is in full swing with soaring temperatures and kids out of school. We’re here to help you beat the heat with some fun indoor (air conditioned!) options, like a visit to the ROM to watch the final games of the World Cup.

Living in Toronto means your kids’ typical Saturday probably won’t involve feeding goats, jumping in hay bales, or taking a tractor ride to a field of strawberries ripe for picking. Luckily for us city dwellers, we can satisfy those farm fantasies and get some outdoor family fun with a trip to Springridge Farm.

Babies…well…they drool. And when they are teething, they drool even more and sometimes that drool can be a bit harsh on their skin. So what do you do? Tiny baby chin guard? Wipe their face every three seconds? Snap on a perma bib? Why not try some Hazelwood?
