While in Canada, my time zone was all out of whack. The weather was fantastic in the evenings, so I wanted to do something that involved walking around and seeing something interesting, so I went to the Neon Sign Museum! This is a free, outdoor exhibition space between two buildings, full of neon signs and history around these signs.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday we have a board game afternoon at our local Geek Retreat, and this time, we played Snackaroo – which has really fantastic characters! I absolutely love claymation and clay art, I collect clay Pokemon Cards, so when I saw the box of Snackaroo, I really wanted to play the game itself. Robin and Amelia both agreed these were fantastic cards as well, so we were excited to play.

When in Canada, I needed a place to eat breakfast each day before the event I was attending. This was a work trip, and due to time zones, I woke up quite early and quite hungry! Thankfully, I ended up eating breakfast at OEB Breakfast Co for both of the breakfasts I had in Canada, after going the first time with my co-worker. OEB is a breakfast, brunch and lunch place that tries to elevate the dishes they cook, so they are upscale versions of things you might see at other breakfast eateries. And, they did deliver! I must say that OEB Breakfast Co did have a lot of fantastic sounding drinks, but I am a huge lemonade lover, and ended up getting lemonade every time.
Once a month, Amelia and I go to a cupcake class together! It’s a sort of mother-daughter bonding time that we both very much enjoy, however, Amelia asked to have a few friends over and all go to this class, and of course, why wouldn’t we? The Wonderland cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie was such a fun one for friends as well. Amelia had two of her friends along, one of which who isn’t photographed – we all had a fantastic time.

[Ad – Gifted Products, updated to add new items] Back to school always comes around a little faster than we’d like! Now that summer is winding to the end, it’s time to look at your school supplies and see what needs replacing. We tend to refresh most things in our household, so that everyone has a new set for the new year. Below are some of the essentials we get for back to school time!
I must say, I really wasn’t sure about the idea of the Air Up, especially when it came to using a scent to get kids to drink more water. It turns out, however, these really do work! We’ve picked up a bunch of the various scents, including candy ones, and have seen a real up-tick in interest in water. This feels like a great way to keep kids drinking water during the school day.
