Join @FamilyTravelCA on Tuesday, Nov. 25 (2014) — from 12 noon to 1 p.m. EST — as we chat about all-things-Beaches!

I mean, just look at…
New favourites from Garden of Life
Last year, I tried my first cleanse thanks to Garden of Life. Since then, I’ve been totally addicted to so many of its products (namely, the RAW Fit protein powder, with which Big B and I usually make smoothies a couple of times a week). We aren’t a vegan or gluten-free household, but we do…
Travel in style with The Shopping Channel: a #FamilyTravelCA chat
Two of my favourite brands are married and already giving birth. Heys (my personal luggage brand) and FLARE (one of Canada’s finest magazines) partnered to create fashion-forward luggage. It’s true: even your luggage should make a statement. When we bought our luggage nine years ago, quality came first but style was a very close second….
FoodSaver 2-in1 Vacuum Sealing System
Have you ever bought bulk packages of meat or fish, taken them home and tried to divide them up to put some in the fridge and the rest in the freezer? We used to do it a lot, but stopped when we found that freezer burn wreaked havoc on the food we tried to deep…

#NikonMOMents, Part III: Horseshoe Resort (sponsored post)
Being a family travel writer for Canadian Family means that we get to visit some pretty awesome places. We’ve created so many memories this summer that it’s hard to choose a favourite, but ask my kids and Horseshoe Resort would be at the top of their list. We spent an amazing couple of days checking out…
Wordless Wednesday: Fibre 1 Delights
Canada’s Wonderland
The first memory I have of Canada’s Wonderland is being there in pastel purple shorts with suspenders that buttoned onto them; I was missing one front tooth. It was 1981 and the park had just opened. My cousins were visiting from out of town and we took them there. I remember screaming like a baby…
