Despite being a two working parent household, we have managed to fit in a lot of fun things this summer. Today I’m going to show you some of our day at Boldt Castle. The history of Boldt Castle is a very sad one. George Boldt bought the island for his wife Louise, and designed the […]
Emma and I had the pleasure of taking the Time Travel Trail tour in downtown Kingston. *The Time Travel Trail, a subsidiary of The Haunted Walk of Kingston, allowed Emma and I to take a tour for free so I could create this review. All opinions are those of myself and/or my daughter.* The Time […]
We started our summer this year with a trip to Canada’s Wonderland. Canada’s Wonderland is a large amusement park north of Toronto, Ontario. This was my girls first trip there – and boy were they excited! As a somewhat anxious mom I’m trying to stay in the headspace of enjoying attractions with my kids. And […]
Kingston Pen Tours are the “in” thing to do in town these days. Tickets can be hard to come by, but we managed to get a set for the 4 of us to take a Saturday afternoon tour. The weather was beautiful, and we were lucky because there is a lot more outdoor time on […]
Over March Break we went to Cuba for a week long family vacation. Beautiful, sunny, warm Cuba. At least I thought it was going to be sunny and warm. In fact it was quite grey and windy – shorts and long sleeves weather. Don’t get me wrong, it was better than the snow and cold […]

On New Year’s Day we took the kids to the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. As I had just taken a photography course the week before I took along my camera and tried out some of the settings and ideas I learned about with Mark Aidan Bergin. The course was a lot of fun but […]
My sister-in-law had her wedding at the Four Points by Sheraton Kingston. I thought it would be fun for us to spend the night in the hotel (even though we live in Kingston.) That way we could stay at the wedding until the kids are literally asleep on their feet. *We were provided a junior […]
Where do the summers go? I hope you found some fun things to do in my Summer in Kingston post. I know we do quite a few of the events around town every year! Now it’s time for me to highlight some of the events that happen each fall in Kingston. Fun Things to Do […]
I enjoy the Tragically Hip. I am saddened by the news of Gord Downie’s cancer, just like the rest of the country. Of course the Man Machine Poem tour would end with the Tragically Hip in Kingston, but I am so over all the hoopla that is going on around their last tour stop here […]
