5 of the Best Beaches in Southwest Ontario to Take the Family

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

The beaches in Southwest Ontario are great family destinations - often underrated because they're not a tropical destination. For people who haven't enjoyed the local spots, they're missing out! Many are conveniently located along Lake Huron and Erie's coastlines, which means they're close enough for day trips and weekend stays. With so many great beaches in Southwest Ontario to take small kids right here at home, there's no excuse! Find one near where you live and go enjoy sand between …

Manoir Saint Sauveur is the Ski & Spa Holiday You Need This Winter

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

Winter has arrived in Canada in it's typical blustery nature, blanketing the world in white and leaving many Canadians scratching their heads asking, "Now what?" Five long months stretch out before us and we have but two choices; grumble through the entire season or get out and enjoy it. I'm definitely a fan of the latter, and that's why I'm so glad we found Manoir Saint Sauveur.  Located a short and scenic two hour drive from Ottawa, as well as from Montreal, Manoir Saint Sauveur is the …

Christmas Weekend Getaway in Toronto

Christmas Weekend Getaway in Toronto

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

A Christmas Weekend Getaway in Toronto was just what I needed to find my Christmas spirit this year. As the years go by, I find that it takes me longer and longer to slip into holiday mode. I suspect that, like most women, I spend the season making sure everyone is enjoying themselves, without taking any time to appreciate the beauty of it myself. That's why I made it a priority this year to get out and do something. The Toronto I knew in my youth has morphed into a world-class city, so …

Maple, Montebello, Music, Memories: A Girls’ Getaway With Ford

By //  by Vanessa Chiasson Leave a Comment

Was ‘Despacito’ REALLY the song of the summer for 2017? Every road trip beings with a moment of reflection and introspection, doesn't it? The status of 'Despacito'  weighed on my mind and I knew just who to debate it with. Our girls getaway to Chateau Montebello, was all about what really matters. Like the pros and cons of Justin Bieber singing in Spanish, or what songs are truly indispensable on a cross country journey.  When it came to debating the big questions in life, …
