Plans for Saturday night? Grab a warm blanket and head out to Centretown. If your kids are 7 & up (don’t quote me on the suggested age, but I think that 7 & up seems reasonable), check out the Centretown Outdoor movie this Saturday night. It is the final show of […]

I have always thought highly of Cosmic Adventures. The kids love it and it is a safe environment where they get some great active play time. We recently attended a birthday party hosted there and I can easily say that it is worth the cost! I looked into the party costs on […]

Well, I have to admit that I have read all of the previous Harry Potter books. I think what makes this series of books such good reading for all ages is that everyone can associate with the characters in a different way, almost looking at the characters in the book as you would look […]
