Clevelands House – I Had The Time of My Life

By //  by Candace Sampson

From the moment we arrived at Clevelands House in Muskoka I was humming Time of My Life. I couldn't help it. Life needs a soundtrack, right? And this song is the perfect fit for Clevelands House. In case it's not immediately obvious, it's because Clevelands House reminds me of the family resort in Dirty Dancing without all the drama. Clevelands House is a throwback, and in today's age of families often separated while in the same room by technology, this is a good thing. A very good …

Family Travel Canada

By //  by Candace Sampson

What does Canada offer families who can’t ski? Many years ago I lived in New Jersey and spent the time traveling around USA, with the occasional visit to the beautiful, relaxed country of Canada. I must confess, I was a singleton with no children and I would venture across the border to strap on my skis and glide down some of the fabulous slopes that Canada offers.
