 Watch out Netflix, there’s a new online video subscription service coming to Canada very soon. The new service, called Kidoodle TV, will focus on delivering entertainment and educational programs for children 10 and under. I can’t wait to test drive this program. I’m sure as parents many of you have had times where your child chose a not so child friendly video on Netflix or YouTube by accident. Kidoodle will make life easier for parents by offering only safe, age-appropriate content.

Sign up now to test drive Kidoodle TV in their beta event by going to Kidoodle.tv

It’s no secret that our family loves to travel, but, we have discovered that you don’t need to go far to feel the excitement of travelling.

This made me think…what if we put the two together and went on a stay-cation to an airport hotel? Sound good? How about the newest airport hotel in Halifax!  We decided to stay a night at the new ALT Hotel Halifax Stanfield, at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, just for fun.

We started out at the Table Rock Welcome Centre, where we could park for the day.
