Real Mom of Los Angeles: Special Guest Post

I’m really excited today to bring you a guest post from Virginia Cunningham, a Los Angeles-based writer and mom. While I think I would fit in better in New York than California (except for the weather, of course!) I am totally into Hollywood happenings, and have many preconceived notions about what it would be like […] Read more…

Family Fun at Centreville Amusement Park

I’ve always wanted to take the girls to Centreville Amusement Park, and the beautiful long weekend gave us perfect opportunity. I dragged out the surprise for a couple of days, giving clues for good behaviour (I know, I’m a great mom). Clue # 1: It’s in Toronto but we’re not sleeping over. Clue # 2: We […] Read more…

Family Fun at the Royal Ontario Museum

March Break at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) is popular. Very popular. In fact, when we arrived an hour after opening, the ticket line outside stretched well past the “30 minutes to admission” sign posted on the sidewalk. Once inside, however, there’s more than enough room for everyone. This was the first time we’ve taken […] Read more…

Every year we try to get our girls tickets to something as a Christmas gift (you know, experiences over “stuff”. Which isn’t to say that they didn’t get any “stuff”.) This year, we decided to surprise them with a family getaway to Toronto for Mirvish’s The Wizard of Oz. While the kids put on a nice polite […] Read more…

March Break at Sandos Caracol, Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Before I get into the fantastic story that was last week’s trip to Mexico, I’d like to explain why you were treated to “flashback” posts the week before. There was a loss in our family, as after 85 years on the farm, 49 years of marriage, 9 children and 17 grandchildren (not to mention a hand amputated in […] Read more…

Big City Family Getaway

Last weekend we took the girls for a little pre-Christmas getaway in Toronto. The highlights: We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Toronto Downtown Hotel (attached to the Rogers Centre) simply because we were looking for accommodations that were reasonably priced and reasonably close to the Sony Centre. We booked online and got an amazing deal. Our […] Read more…

Our East Coast Vacation: Highlights and Lowlights

I bring you now the highlights and lowlights of our East Coast (i.e. Ontario to Quebec to New Brunswick to PEI and back) adventure: Lowlights: We realized right before we left for the 16 hour journey that the in-van televisions were not in working order.
