Until October 14th, African Lion Safari opens its doors to visitors daily from 10:00-4:00. My family and I visited African Lion Safari at the end of August. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect seeing as I hadn’t been there since I was two. My Mom shared stories of our visit and all I really remember was the story about her nursing my sister in the back seat of our car as we drove through the reserve and a giraffe LION came right up to the car! Needless to say, her milk seized up and she had to stop nursing! … Continue reading →

Epic is a computer animated movie whose story is loosely based on the children’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs by William Joyce.

PlasmaCar

On the last day of school, my kids arrived home to a super fun surprise on our front porch… I had allocated some time before they got home to put the car together and I will say that I was VERY pleasantly surprised that it only took me about 15 minutes from start to finish. That includes opening the box, finding my rubber mallet and assembling the car. The PlasmaCar was VERY easy and SUPER fast to assemble and definitely MOMMY APPROVED! Now, I’ve always claimed to be honest on this blog, so today I will continue that, despite my … Continue reading →

I have a few memories from when I was a child in grade two and my field trip to Centre Island in Toronto. In my opinion, every child who lives in the GTA should have the opportunity to visit the Island! It’s almost like a right of passage. The excitement of taking a Ferry across to the island to the beach, the splash pad, the fun paths and even Franklin’s Children’s Garden to the highlight of Centreville! My family and I just got back from a “staycation” in Toronto. The highlight of our trip was definitely our visit to Centreville … Continue reading →
