(This Casino Tremblant post was updated on Feb. 16, 2022.) Since we travel to Tremblant with our kids most of the time, the adult-only restaurant and Casino Tremblant have always been off-limits. When I had a kid-free opportunity to hit Tremblant a couple of winters ago, my friend and I snapped up the chance to…
2018 Toyota Sequoia review
We were at The Post Hotel in Lake Louise, and the “house car” — as it’s often called at fancy hotels — was a slick, black SUV. We hopped in the back, greeted with heated leather seats, and I scanned the interior for clues about which luxury auto company made this gorgeous beast. “It’s a…
Genuine Health products
I had no idea until recently that I’d been using Genuine Health products for years. Greens+ Kids has been a mainstay in our fridge since The K Man was a toddler; around here, it’s called “Magic Juice.” But that’s not all the brand makes. Let me tell you more… Genuine Health Fast Pain Relief+ When…
Gluten-free chocolate black bean zucchini muffins
Oh, man, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it? Good thing I didn’t go with the original title of this recipe: “Easy gluten-free Vitamix chocolate black brown zucchini muffins.” This recipe is an evolution of my black bean brownies, and a staple of the 30-day eating program I have been doing over and over since last summer…
Ruroc helmet review
Like just about everything in my life, I own multiples when it comes to ski helmets. It’s like I can’t help myself because I want to try out all of the special features that come with one but not another. So when my husband showed me the integrated Ruroc helmets, we knew we had to…
How to teach your kids to ski
Despite spending a year in high school as a teacher’s aide for my co-op class, and yet another year teaching ESL in Korea in my 20s, I’m a terrible teacher. These two experiences are the sole reasons I didn’t go to teacher’s college. My patience wears thin very easily and I become frustrated with repetition…
Peak Performance Canada: FW17 skiwear
It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that I couldn’t be more pleased to partner with a brand that represents both stylish and functional skiwear. As a Peak Performance ambassador in Canada, I will get to do so much of what I love most: shop, ski and review. And while I’m technically supposed…
Chateau Beauvallon review
We have tried all different kinds of accommodations at Tremblant, both during the summer and winter months. From staying in the lower and upper villages to the mountainside chalets and in offsite but nearby lodging, our latest visit was to Chateau Beauvallon and I am thrilled to write this review and let you know about…
Bamboo Sheets Shop review
Oh, how I love good sheets. Whether they’re crisp cotton ones or silky bamboo sheets, as long as they’re white and easy to launder, I’m in. I have had the pleasure of trying this luxury bamboo sheet set from Bamboo Sheets Shop for several months. They’re 500 thread count at $375.95, which comes with fitted sheet, flat sheet and…
Mont-Tremblant restaurants
(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,…
