Canada’s Wonderland Funnel Cakes Won’t Be Missed – Make ‘Em At Home!

lilsugar

My family and I have been Canada’s Wonderland ambassadors for many years now, but what is more important is that we have also been members of the park for years before that. When I was little we’d visit with my parents annually, and as a teen my very first job was at Canada’s Wonderland. The park has been a huge part of making memories ever since I can remember. One of the things that we revisit upon park opening every year is indulging in their famous funnel cakes. Funnel cakes…

lilsugar

New to Canada’s Wonderland this year is the Yukon Striker Roller Coaster! If you are brave enough to embark on this 90-degree drop for three breathtaking seconds while staring 245 feet down into an underwater tunnel then you are one brave soul. Either that or you must live for the thrill and this coaster is just for you! The Yukon Striker reaches speeds of 130 km/h and includes a complete 360-degree loop (the only one of its kind for a dive coaster). While I do suspect the wait times will…

Canada’s Wonderland Always Full Of Surprises

lilsugar

If there was ever a way to bottle up a  nostalgic memory of my past summers as a child it would be found at Canada’s Wonderland. The smell of funnel cakes, the excitement of watching roller coasters zoom by, and the long days that turn into evenings filled with cotton candy and games – it can all be found in this place. My parents would take us every single summer as children, it would be the event of the season. We would go thrill seeking on rides and spend hours…

Beaching Without The Bulk – TaLii Towel Review

lilsugar

When I first received my TaLii Towels I wasn’t sure what to think really, the package that came in the mail contained 4 large towels and was no bigger than the size of 1 normal towel. They were compact to say the least – the simple, small package that was mailed to me definitely hosted 4 towels and not just 1. Upon opening I realised that these were not normal towels at all and to he perfectly honest I was sceptical. Would these ever replace our towels that we use…

Toja Grid – The Simplest Pergola Solution For Any Backyard

lilsugar

    After looking endlessly for a pergola to accommodate our backyard space, we came across TOJA Grid. A modular pergola system that is customizable! This was especially appealing to us because our home elevation is high and every other pergola we were looking at would have blocked our windows had we put them up. Standard heights were around 8 feet tall without getting one made and our space measures 10 feet high in order not to interfere with the window frames. Let me begin by saying that my husband…

Sticking to Bedtime Routines During Summer Break

lilsugar

Yes, I am THAT Parent. The parent who puts their children to bed on time (most nights) even during the summer months. In our household the Summer doesn’t mean a free ticket to stay up late and do whatever you want whenever you want, it simply means better weather, more fun and more time spent with family. The only way I have found to keep the best of spirits when it comes to our children is by sticking to a solid sleep routine. Don’t get me wrong, I do admire…

Full Mobile Coverage While Living In The ‘Burbs’ -TELUS Rocks! {Giveaway}

lilsugar

I was first introduced to TELUS mobile when I was a teenager, I remember buying into the brand because of its fresh appearance, snazzy ads and really good prices. Who would have known that after years of service with other mobile networks I would become a TELUS customer once again – just under different terms. Now somewhat grown-up I stand on the other side of the fence when I say that the most important thing to me when it comes to cell phone usage is the ability to stay connected.…
