The Great Canadian Blog Bash – A Canadian Road Trip! #TGCBB

⋅ 4 Comments

Welcome to the Great Canadian Blog Bash! I’m so proud to be Canadian! My name is Laura and My Life in the Sun is a personal blog I started last year to share our family’s experiences during our everyday life and traveling. This is my first year in the Great Canadian Blog Bash because it’s my first year as a blogger. I have two daughters and a very patient husband who, like me, love to travel. I am born and raised in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada and have driven across the country twice. I think one of the best ways to see Canada is by car! There is much more to a country than just the big cities. There are so many amazing small boutiques, manufacturers, farms, and restaurants in small towns that you would never get to see, if you didn’t get out on the road. Read More →

Our Summer Fun List #Travel #SummerFun #Family

⋅ Leave a Comment

My girls and I got a great idea from my cousin to make a Summer Fun List (a bucket list but I didn’t really want to call it that) of things to do this summer. Have you ever done this? We have had ideas before, but never made a checklist that we can follow, over the summer and hopefully finish. There are some big items on the list this summer, since we’re headed to Toronto in 3 days! We’re pretty excited. What do you think? What would be on your list?

Road Trip Entertainment!

⋅ Leave a Comment

Planning a road trip now that warmer weather is here? Just driving to Grandma’s house? You’re going to want to keep those kiddies occupied and happy if you want to have a peaceful, enjoyable trip. When we plan a road trip we always bring movies, video games and books but here’s what else I did on our last road trip to make it more fun for our children. This would work great for flights too!

I planned ahead of time and started buying small children’s toys, games and treats when I saw them on sale. I bought things at the Dollar Store, Michael’s Craft Store, on Ebay and even at Thrift Stores to keep it affordable.
