5 of the Nicest Waterfalls in Hamilton Worth Taking the Kids for a Walk Around

By //  by Anne Radcliffe Leave a Comment

Did you know: there's over 100 waterfalls in Hamilton and the surrounding area. Niagara Falls might be the biggest in Southern Ontario, but Hamilton takes the crown for "City of Waterfalls." Many of these waterfalls are quite beautiful and are part of the trails and green belt parks! That means many of the nicest waterfalls in the region are accessible and perfect for families with little hikers. As a resident of the area, I love taking my family for nature hikes on weekends. Since we usually …

Road Trip Season is Here! Are you Ready to Hit the Road?

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Woot! It’s road trip season; my favourite time of the year. There is nothing better than the call of the open road, so when the winter tires come off, I start planning road trips all over Ontario. But first, I make sure my car is up to snuff.  This is the third year that I've partnered with Kaltire in the spring, to educate my readers on the importance of their tires. Last year we talked about the damage potholes could do, and the year before that I shared why spring tune ups are so …

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 …
