(I updated this Tremblant Westin post on Feb. 5, 2024.) When we were invited to Mont-Tremblant for our first-ever winter weekend getaway at the resort, I had but one stipulation: please, for the love of all things good and holy, please put us in a room with a king-sized bed and a separate area for…
Doing the holiday mingle
I overdo it. Every time we host even a small get-together, I put out way too much food. I wasn’t always like this, but it’s rubbed off on me through spousal osmosis. My husband’s mother is Irish, and like any good Irish mother (or Italian, or Polish, or…you get the picture), she’s always worried there…
Aeroplan flight-booking tips
Perhaps you’ve noticed that we’ve been flying a few places lately — almost exclusively with Air Canada.

“SnapShots” from Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa
I’ve invested in family photography since my babies were in my belly. We’ve had maternity photo shoots, newborn photo shoots, first birthday photo shoots and annual shoots thereafter. Why? It’s not because we’re on an unlimited budget. Far from it. But if I didn’t pay someone to take our photos together, I’d never be in…
