Writing my way through the joys and challenges of motherhood
As a family we do a lot of car travelling. Sometimes long distances, usually only an hour or two at a time. But no matter how much time you spend travelling with kids, you will inevitably hear, “Are we there yet?!?” I’m here to tell you that there are some ways you can (hopefully) […]
This summer we decided to make our summer vacation a camping trip. I had never been camping as a mom (or even as an adult.) So when I started researching campgrounds and parks to visit I really didn’t know what I was looking for. Enter the Parks Canada oTENTik option. It’s a cross between a […]
As a kid I might have gone to Canada’s Wonderland maybe ten times. It was far away, and a long, hot day. As an adult I’ve been more times than I ever went as a kid. This season, in fact, I’ve been 3 times, and we have plans to fit in at least one more. […]

Space travel is amazing to me. I love science fiction, exploration, and the idea of extra-terrestrial life. That means that a trip to Orlando, Florida includes a visit to the Kennedy Space Center. Maybe more for Patrick and I than for the kids, but hey, it’s a FAMILY vacation so everyone should enjoy it, right? […]
I have lived in Kingston, Ontario for most of my life. And I’m not just saying that because I’m old now and more than half of my life has happened after highschool, though that is a factor. I was born here, at Kingston General Hospital. At the time my parents lived in Amherstview, which is […]
