Hands up if you find yourself looking for ways to escape winter. I often find people use their vacation days to seek refuge from the cold, snowy season. But what if instead of running from it, we embraced it—even just one time. That’s what we wanted to do. We wanted to immerse ourselves in [...]
“Mom, look!” I followed my daughter’s outstretched hand to see she was pointing at the icy peaks of Bonhomme’s frozen castle.

Nestled on 1,000 pristine Canadian acres tucked directly [...]
“Let’s go surfing now. Everybody’s learning how. Come on and safari with me. Da na na na na na na” We danced our way into Maeva Surf to the sounds of my daughter and I belting out all of the surfing songs we could think of. While we have been lucky enough to try [...]
