Those were my 4 year olds last words to me before Those were my 4 year olds last words to me before falling asleep tonight. At least once a week he asks when will we be able to go to the border to go to Gramma and Papa’s country house. Montreal is back to Orange today. Raising our kids has never been harder. Especially when you don’t know the answers to the questions that would make them happiest. We gained a bit of normalcy going back to school, but now that seems dangerous. Holidays at home, cancelled high school entrance exams, birthday parties cut down to 6 people. How are you trying to make these challenging days as normal as possible for your kids?

T-1 day until school starts and moms everywhere ar T-1 day until school starts and moms everywhere are wondering how their kids are going to wake up in time. And then get them out the door, fed, dressed, cleaned and with a wholesome lunch in hand. Welcome back!
That’s a wrap on a great 5 days in Prince Edward That’s a wrap on a great 5 days in Prince Edward County. We ended it on a goofy note after days of sun ☀️ sand 🏝 and too much ice cream 🍦. These “quilts” throughout the county were such a highlight for me as we drove by farms and other heritage buildings. It was also our first @airbnb experience and certainly won’t be our last, as travelling comfortably as a family of 5 can be an expensive challenge in a typical hotel. Double tap if you want a full recap up on my blog.

Day 1 was pretty close to perfect in PEC. Early mo Day 1 was pretty close to perfect in PEC. Early morning trip to @wellingtonfarmersmarket for some pretzel buns, tie dye tops and fresh produce. Then on to Outlet Beach. Where we were surrounded by dogs and their owners in the pet-friendly area. An early dinner @drakedevonshire to round it out with a picnic by the lake and some delicious bites.
Yesterday: Backyard blow up pool Tomorrow: Sandba Yesterday: Backyard blow up pool Tomorrow: Sandbanks Provincial Beach Today we’re road tripping to our little AirBnB in Prince Edward County. I want all the Covid friendly tips please - from activities to restaurants with patios, what are your favs?
Corn maze 🌽 Every year we head to the corn maz Corn maze 🌽 Every year we head to the corn maze in Stowe Vermont but not this year 😕 We found a pretty great replacement @kiosquechezforget with a maze that is one part detective work, one part bingo game. The kids were given bingo cards and had to find all the signs along the way. We took 45 minutes to complete the maze but made it out the first exit instead of the final one. Bring lots of water and try to go when it’s not too hot. Afterwards you can visit the petting zoo and the farm stand. Berry picking wasn’t open today but blueberries and raspberries should be back in a bit. Call ahead. All in all a great morning that was just 30 minutes away from the city.
Who else has big weekend plans of making salads an Who else has big weekend plans of making salads and keeping things spicy 🌶? I got the @mandysalads cookbook and immediately went straight for the @smokeshowsauce salad. If you haven’t tried this local collection of jalapeño infused sauces and seasonings you’re missing out. My favorite is the hot sauce (not too spicy but full of flavour). Double tap if you want me to give away a box of @smokeshowsauce goodies.
My kids don’t want to go back to school after th My kids don’t want to go back to school after their 6-month spring break. But seriously, we got our first email from our principal tonight and it gave me some comfort knowing that she is doing everything in her power to keep our kids and teachers safe. Who knows what the next 2 weeks will bring in terms of decision making as we count down to their first day back. But I’ll be the first to admit that I’m scared, nervous and, at the same time, just a little tiny bit relieved to have them going back.
Five months in and we’re trying to train this pu Five months in and we’re trying to train this pup. He’s having fewer accidents, responds to his name (Twix), and absolutely loves to run under our bed and play a good game of hide and seek. We usually have to lure him out with a treat and these single ingredient products from @onlyonetreats have worked wonders. Any tried and tested training tricks to share? #onlyonepartner #shopandshout #gifted
It’s almost the weekend. Time to start planning It’s almost the weekend. Time to start planning another road trip. A winery with kids?! Why not?Anything goes (socially distanced) and @la_bullerie is a beautiful getaway in Saint Joseph sur le Lac. Read more about our adventure on the blog. Link in bio.
Confession: I got tested for COVID-19. Twice. Bot Confession: I got tested for COVID-19. Twice. Both times were negative. I had a sore throat for about 3 weeks that I just couldn’t shake. Coupled with a few other symptoms here and there I thought it was the safest thing to do. It’s uncomfortable. Especially the second time when you know what’s in store for you. But I birthed three children (2 without an epidural) so it really wasn’t that bad.. Two negative strep tests later and I’m chalking it up to stress, not drinking enough water and anxiety. We’re living in a scary time and I think most people, like me, immediately think the worst right now. Which isn’t a bad thing as we try to protect our family and friends. But it can take a toll on you mentally. I kept referencing @mommyshorts and @ariellecharnas who both have day by day accounts of their Covid experiences. I convinced myself I was having the same symptoms. Especially during the 4-5 days that we were self isolating while awaiting test results. But I wasn’t. I couldn’t really see how as my kids have been home since March and the furthest I’ve gone is the grocery store (with a mask and endless hand sanitizing). I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way. So I wanted to put this out there so you know you’re not alone. ❤️
