Travel

One thing that people all over the world flock to Montreal for is the Just For Laughs Festival, as it is known as the world’s largest comedy festival. The city turns into an extravaganza of outdoor fun and indoor celebrities. There is something for everyone, young and old, and that is what makes this festival one of my favourites.

Are the the go-to mom when some child in the park needs a napkin or a Band-Aid?
Or are you the mom who is desperately asking someone else for help?

Friends, I cannot tell you how excited I am to participate in this great event again this year! I was so excited last year to post about The SugarShacks of Quebec since it is such a great Canadian heritage piece.

My husband and I approach the gate and smile as we take in the site of the blue and yellow big top. We are about to see the new performance, Amaluna, by Cirque du Soleil. I was invited to attend as a blogger so I meet and greet the press team and then I am given my tickets for the show.

I wanted to write about a long running favorite shopping place in the MOE family. Jouets Choo-Choo is a local toy shop that has been around since 1996, and is now an online shop as well. I love shopping there for my children as well as other little ones for many reasons. First and foremost, the quality of toys that Jouets Choo-Choo carries is exceptional.

This Thursday I will be attending my first blogging/networking conference in Toronto called She’s Connected! I’m very excited and honoured to be invited. So much so, that I have done some leg work to get swag for the mama bloggers attending!

There are still a couple of weeks left before summer is gone so make the most of it! How about taking a trip to the beach? We are! We’ve been dreaming about it since we booked the trip over a month ago! The sand, the ocean, the waves, the picnics, we can’t wait!

I am so thrilled to be taking part in this fantastic event!

Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Pampered Patty during my own networking/charity event. She’s wonderful! Since then, we have been keeping in touch via Twitter and our blogs. So when she told me she was going to put together a blog party with Whispered Inspirations, Mom vs. The Boys, Good Girl Gone Green and Kat’s Confessions to celebrate Canadian bloggers, I wrote it in my calendar and anxiously awaited the date!
