Our Travel Bucket List

Posted by on 2 Comments

Welcome to our Travel Bucket List!

You’ve probably heard a lot about bucket lists recently and may already have one of your own. Our family has decided to make a travel bucket list of places we want to go together as a family, hopefully before the girls are off to college! I’m sure some of you have already seen the list I had posted on this website. Well I’ve updated it and removed the places we made it to this year. I plan on updating it annually in a blog post from now on. I hope it encourages you to make one of your own!

Spring Fever Giveaway!

Posted by on 35 Comments

We have Spring Fever in our house and I’m having a giveaway to celebrate! We love winter activities, but lately, it’s been warming up outside and I’m getting really excited for spring. This year will mark my first full spring and summer writing for my blog and I am already planning many family activities/trips around our province.

Eat More Frogs Recipe!

Posted by on Leave a Comment

I was having some fun in the kitchen today trying to adapt one of our family’s favourite recipes for frogs (chocolate macaroons) into a healthier version without white sugar, etc. when something surprising happened. When we were done and having our first one we found out they tasted just like Eatmore, one of my husband’s favourite candy bars. I thought I’d better share this with the world but don’t blame me if you don’t like them! They’re a little strange (but delicious)!

 

Family Travel – Spending Money for Children

Posted by on Leave a Comment

We’ve taken our children on a few trips now where they have been big enough to want things along the way. We normally bring spending money for souvenirs for the whole family and divide it up along the way with mommy and daddy making most of the decisions and just letting our children choose from options in a price range for souvenirs. This has, in the past, resulted in occasional whiny, spoiled, children who want everything they see. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had good vacations and of course they don’t really want everything. That is an exaggeration. This trip I decided to put the power in their hands.
