It’s amazing to me that in less than a week I will be hopping on an airplane, for the first time in many, many years, alone! I’m off to my first blogging conference, BlissDom Canada.  I love to travel with a capital L, so I am very excited, but nervous, at the same time. One thing I was worried about was whether or not I would have to go buy a whole new wardrobe for the conference and travelling.

The conference organizers have been amazing at making everyone feel comfortable, during the weeks leading up to the conference. They made it clear that buying a new wardrobe wasn’t necessary, but I still wanted to make a good first impression!

Luckily, I found Karina Dresses.

As soon as I looked at their website I was smitten. I was thrilled when they choose to partner with me and offer me dress to review. Read More →

It’s here folks! You can now test drive the new online television programming site for kids, Kidoodle TV, for free! Kidoodle focuses on delivering entertainment and educational programs for children 10 and under. We have been testing it out for the last week and our children love how easy it is to use. The programs are limited during the trial and there is more for younger children than older children but it’s worth trying out to give them feedback so they can improve. I love that there is an option to limit the amount of time your children can watch!

Hi everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a personal post. I love communicating with all of you and sharing my personal life experiences. Today I want to share with you my decision to make a big change in my life.

My health has always been important to me. I come from a pretty active family. I grew up playing hockey, skiing every winter, skating, swimming and sailing. You name it and I probably tried it.

I loved to go to the gym in high school as well, and then it all drifted off when I went to university. For some reason other things kept getting in the way of exercise. I didn’t join any sports teams and then I met my husband, got married, and started having children. These were all wonderful moments in my life, but my health took a back page to everything else going on. Read More →

We decided to go to Fredericton, NB for our last road trip of the summer, because, it’s so close to home, but somewhere we’ve never really explored. I knew, when I started planning the trip, that I wanted to go to the Boyce Farmers Market on Saturday morning, but I never dreamed that we would have our days filled to the brim full of fun things to do.

I am so grateful for all the help Stacey, from Tourism Fredericton, gave me in planning our weekend. She gave me a huge list of activities our family might enjoy doing, while we were in Fredericton, and helped me plan our two days, after I chose the activities I knew we would like best. I knew I was choosing a lot but with Stacey’s help we fit it all in perfectly!

When we got close to Fredericton, we took an early exit off the highway from Moncton, onto Route 105 to see the St John River up close. It was a perfect choice because we were able to see the river during twilight and it was gorgeous! We also stopped at Moxon’s Country Pumpkin for some ice cream and to see the animals in the petting zoo.

We have never stayed in Fredericton before, even though I am originally from Saint John, and we love the area. When we looked for a hotel in Fredericton for our final road trip of the summer, we wanted a really nice hotel. The Delta Fredericton has a lot to offer. I hadn’t stayed at a Delta in many years as well, so I was really looking forward to this hotel. We had no trouble finding the hotel from downtown with our GPS. It is located a few minutes past downtown Fredericton on the St John River. The first thing we noticed is how beautiful the hotel and grounds are. The lobby is just as stunning with high ceilings and a lot of natural light. All around, you can see how bright, modern and clean the hotel is.
