Gobble Gobble! |
Most parents are probably wondering what happened to the last 4 weeks. Thanksgiving weekend is here. Fall has been kind to us so far, weather has been good, the colours are beyond stunning and the family calendar is so jammed packed with events, festivals and activities, I guess really, there is no wonder as to where the last 4 weeks went.
Hoping that by now most families have taken a road trip to see the colours, taken in a fall fair, pumpkin or apple 'fest or just had fun exploring and finding treasures on an Ontario Trail. If not, fear not, there's more of all that this weekend - with an amazing turkey dinner to follow, or you can get that too (without the mess)!
It's also not too late to find a
