The Canadian Automotive Museum, in Oshawa, Ontario, stands as a testament to Canada’s rich automotive heritage. Not only that, this museum is a great place for kids of all ages too!

There were some activities for him, but the main attraction, was his chance to meet Lightning McQueen! Lighting is still there today, so […]

As Scotiabank describes it, “Know the things you value most are in one safe, easily accessible place.” But what they found was so much more meaningful, and […]
Last week we celebrated my son’s 4th birthday. As you could imagine, in those four years I’ve snapped an uncountable number of photos of him.
