Think Outside the Island Destination Box: Family Travel in Costa Rica

By //  by Dee Brun 1 Comment

For many years Costa Rica was thought of as a travel haven for backpackers and thrill seekers. There were very few all-inclusive resorts and it was just not a "Family Travel" destination. This's all changing! Central America has become a much sought after travel destination and Costa Rica is leading the way. Several years ago my husband and I spent two weeks in Costa Rica seeking ultimate thrills and experiencing every adrenaline rush possible. We loved the country and it's …

Top 10 Reasons Your Kids Need Arts-Based Extracurricular Activities

By //  by Leslie Foster Leave a Comment

In the Top 10 Reasons Your Kids Need Sports-Based Extracurricular Activities post, I listed many reasons why physical activity is awesome for kids both in terms of their physical and mental well-being.  While creativity-based activities don’t necessarily exercise the physical body (although some do), they benefit our kids in so many incredible ways.  Creativity-based activities will allow them to develop skills that will help them in all other areas of their lives, and with cuts …

Clevelands House – I Had The Time of My Life

By //  by Candace Sampson 12 Comments

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 …

by Ava Derickx Hello, today I will be talking about Clevelands House, which is a kid-friendly resort. Speaking of kid-friendly they have an AMAZING Kids Club from babies to teens, with so many activities that your kids will love so much! They will never want to leave. They will also love the floating water park and when I say floating, I mean floating in the LAKE! How cool is that?

Lemon Pina Coladas

By //  by Candace Sampson 6 Comments

Do you like Pina Coladas? I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. Oh c'mon, you knew I had too. Honestly who can actually drink Pina Coladas and not sing The Pina Colada Song by Jimmy Buffett? No one over forty anyway. What's so special about these Pina Coladas? Well, the addition of fresh lemon juice pretty much makes them one of the most refreshing summer drinks you'll ever have. And with National Pina Colada Day on July 10th you'll probably want to serve these to your …
