apple of our eye
Filed Under Places | July 12, 2011
We often hear, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Good advice, especially now that apple season is almost here! But even if the apples aren’t quite ready for picking, Chudleigh’s Farm is still a great day trip destination for a fun-filled family outing.

With strawberry season coming to a close and the raspberries (almost) ripe, it’s a perfect time to head out on a berry picking adventure with your kids. It’s our type of outing: little prep and big rewards. Here’s our berry checklist for a perfect picking experience.
vancouver: what to do, what to do?
Filed Under Events | July 7, 2011
This weekend the city is hopping with fun things to do! Summer Live at Stanley Park should be phenomenal, or if you’d prefer something that caters solely to ages six and under, check out Rockin’ in the Park. Marpole is also hosting a street party and there’s a Bobs and Lolo concert at the Village in Park Royal. Get out on the water with MEC’s Paddlefest, or check out the local fire hall open houses. And farther afield there are a ton of local outdoor activities geared for kids ages 12 and under. To quote Martha and the Vandellas, “Summer’s here and the time is right for dancin’ in the streets”. Get out there and join the party!

monarchy madness
Filed Under Tips & Tricks | July 6, 2011
We’ll admit it. We got up at 3 am and watched Will and Kate’s wedding. And we know we weren’t alone. There is something magical about royalty and their nuptials. The dress alone made us swoon with envy. Our little ones have also gone a little royal crazy, and with the royals currently visiting Canada, we thought we’d offer some ideas for how to satisfy your wee one’s Anglophilia.
sneezing and leaking, oh my!
Filed Under Places, Pregnancy and Birthing | July 5, 2011
There are many lovely things that pregnancy and babies bring, but motherhood can also wreak less-than-lovely changes on a woman’s body. Warning: we’re not talking about stretch marks here…this is going to be a little more graphic. Think incontinence, back pain, and abdominal separation, among other things. But did you know that a physiotherapist can help with pain and ab separation, not to mention rescue you from a lifetime of leaking after you sneeze?

green city
Filed Under Events, Going Green, Places | July 5, 2011
We’re lucky that living in Toronto doesn’t mean sacrificing green space. Despite the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan city, there are plenty of parks and outdoor havens to enjoy. And Evergreen Brick Works, located two minutes off the busy DVP, is no exception.

all kitted out
Filed Under Stuff, Tips & Tricks | July 4, 2011
We’ve been doing 14 hour plus road trips since our oldest was two, so we’ve learned a few things about passing the time. Our secret to sanity is our Road Trip Kit. It’s a Rubbermaid bin that sits on the backseat between our two kids (a more portable version goes on planes) and is packed full of entertainment. Here’s a few of our current take-along-fun favourites to get you started this summer.
