You know that old expression, “A family that plays together, stays together?” Well, with a tween and teen who both surpassed me in athletic skill in toddlerhood and a husband whose favourite thing in the world is playing any sport with our kids, I sometimes find myself needing to be a bit creative on how I can participate. I am OK being the cheerleader from the sidelines or the Queen of Boardgames but sometimes I want to try something new and exciting with my kids that we can experience …

I am a Mom after all and while I like to admire the lux life from afar it's not a reality I live, because well, sticky hands and luxury don't play nice together. Until a few years ago, even luxury vacations were reserved solely for my husband and I.  Then we …

Sandals Foundation Sea Life Sanctuary

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

When traveling I tend to gravitate to companies and agencies that don't just pay lip service to being good corporate citizens, they actually do something. Part of the reason I sing the praises of Sandals and Beaches to friends and family is because of their hard work and honest dedication in making the communities they live in better for all, not just the tourists. A few years ago we were lucky enough to travel to a school in Jamaica to see how the Sandals Foundation helps with education …
