Simple Travel Essentials For The Whole Family

lilsugar

  Yes, I know a few things about what it means to travel with children. We have been travelling with our own family ever since my children were born (practically). Our nomadic lifestyle leads us to many places more than once or twice a year and has made us somewhat experts in the field. This year has been just like the others, we have travelled a handful of times and we are hoping to keep the momentum onward in 2020 too.     Before we do, we’ve managed to squeeze…

lilsugar

  It’s no secret that my husband is a huge wine lover, he collects, studies and fully enjoys it on occasion. That’s why I was thrilled to let him know of our venture to the Adamo Estate Winery. Thankfully we were invited to partake in a little one on one time and enjoy some adult conversation over the Canada Day long weekend. Truth is, my husband and I never actually go anywhere without the children so this was a great excuse to check out the winery and enjoy some dinner…

Keep The Kids Happy While Travelling Over The Holidays

lilsugar

  We are a family that travels quite often, both in cars and on planes and the Holidays usually have us doing that more often. Christmas consists of travel to visit relatives 2 hours away, and car rides are usually long and ‘boring’ for my kids aged 8 and 11. To be honest, the travel time seems like it doubles for me too – the constant whining, and questions of when we will get there make 2 hours seem like 8! In fact, 1 in 5 Canadian parents say one of their…

Every year just after the holidays we take off to somewhere warm down South, and this year was no different. After all of the Christmas chaos we jetted off to Curacao on New Years day – talk about a kick off to the new year right? White sand, crystal blue waters and sun-shiny smiles all around! That’s what I call a perfect getaway. When my husband and I decided to start a family we made a point that we wanted to travel with the children at least once a year…

lilsugar

Just a few more days until your children will be home for the Holidays and that means the constant nagging, arguing and ‘mommy I’m bored’ sentences will be uttered daily. Perhaps not for the first few days as Christmas will keep them entertained however, for sure right after the novelty of toys and sugar rushes come to an end….that means almost an entire week of this. Any mama (or daddy) would be at their wits end without a solution. That’s where I come in…well Netflix actually. Netflix has made vacation…
