(I updated this Mont-Tremblant restaurants post on Feb. 12, 2025.) Wondering which Mont-Tremblant restaurants are right for your mood, cravings and budget? There are no shortage of foodie options in the Mont-Tremblant village, a.k.a. the pedestrian village, and in old Mont-Tremblant, which has a little village of its own. From quick-serve to fine dining restaurants,…
Bracelayer review
Calling all sporty types! Whether you’ve been injured or not, compression wear is something you should consider as part of your workout wardrobe. Big B and I have tried out the Bracelayer knee-stabilizing compression pants — including the women’s KXV three-quarter pants plus men’s and women’s KX2 full-length pants (at $87+ per pair) for several months. THE GOOD If you’ve…
Hoover REACT Cordless vacuum review
Look — this isn’t really my review. I’m not what you call domesticated and I am definitely not the one who vacuums at home (despite the photo below which is purely for promotional purposes!). So all of the thoughts in this Hoover REACT Whole Home Cordless vacuum review are really those of my husband and…
Post Hotel Lake Louise restaurant reviews
If you want someone to write a thorough restaurant review, I’m your girl. I may not be adept at picking out obscure “notes” lingering in the wings, but I will arrive hungry, try anything and pay deep attention to the way food hits the palate, and how every ingredient is married. I will be discerning…
The Post Hotel & Spa review
Before our recent stay at the Post Hotel & Spa, I’d never stayed at a Relais & Château property. I’d never driven through Banff National Park. I’d never been to Lake Louise. So this was a stay of many firsts. When The Post Hotel invited us for a visit, we had nothing else planned. It…

A review of Kal Tire’s Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV R2 winter tires
If there ever was a winter to test and review my first-ever set of winter tires from Kal Tire, this is the one. We’ve had multiple BIG snowfalls, some icy conditions and a whole bunch of slushy mess to contend with – and it’s only January. Exclusive to Kal Tire in many parts of Canada…
Win a family vacation to Smugglers’ Notch in Vermont!
You may recall that my family visited Smugglers’ Notch in Vermont last year for March Break — and LOVED it. And not just because it’s not-so-quietly known as “Canada Week” among staff thanks to the rush of Canadian visitors the resort gets mid-March! It’s a vacation my kids still talk about a year later and…
Titus Mountain Family Ski Center review
I’d never heard of Malone, New York; that is until Titus Mountain Family Ski Center – neatly tucked into the Adirondacks of upstate NY – got in touch with news that it was offering the Canadian dollar at par on lift tickets and at participating accommodations. (Good news for Canadians since it’s only 20 minutes…
Huge review: knix bra and knix underwear
Five years after first writing this post, I’m adding a much-needed update since there are so many new knix products. Whether you’re looking for a knix bra or knix underwear, get ready — because this knixwear review is huge. Let me start with this: I am a sucker for good undergarments. But I have very…
