Road trips (#MOEontheRoad)

This summer, I read Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet In Heaven. If you haven’t read it, it is a book that you can finish in a day. In my case, I managed to finish it through the summer here and there when I had a quiet moment (as…

A little while back, my family and I were treated to a trip to Ottawa to experience the first stop on the LEGO Imagine Nation Tour in Canada. We had the BEST time! And when I say “we” I mean it. We are LEGO loving family, so this was awesome. We…

If you have been following me on social media, you might have seen how I’ve been enjoying the Ford Flex with my family this week. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been using many excuses to get in the car for a drive. It’s a pretty sweet ride. This weekend…

And amazing experience for kids young and old, the Montgolfieres St Jean sur Richelieu is the largest hot air balloon gathering in all of Canada.

I don’t know about you, but I find it really easy to feed my children well. However, when it comes to me, I am getting stinking lousy at it!
