I would like to start out with a statement I have about Saunders Farm: “Saunders Farm is one of the best family oriented gems in the Ottawa area. We are lucky to have such a great attraction so close to us.” Me

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 […]

Kids love Hot Air Balloons! I remember as a kid watching the sky for them. I remember to this day (I was about 5 years old) when about 10 balloons went over our house in Regina, Sask. I ran back into the house and was yelling for my Mom to come and […]

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 […]

Thistle Springs Trout Farm
What a great time! We didn’t need a fishing licence and had a blast! We went as part of a school trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The pricing is based on the size of the fish you catch, plus a $5 per fisherman/fisherperson/fisherkid/fisherwoman….. The only catch (other than the […]

My review of Batman Begins (9/10)
Before I get started, let me point out that this movie is rated PG-13 for intense action violence, disturbing images and some thematic elements. This is a much darker Batman (the real Batman!) and there are some scenes that will scare kids. If you are worried that […]

I just received an email telling me that Kanata will once again have a Canada Day celebration! This is great! I live in the west end of the city and find that downtown can be a bit much with the kids. The Kanata Canada Day celebrations have always been great, the fireworks […]
