Apr 9-15 (Toronto)

Happy Wednesday, Toronto! I hope you're coming down from the chocolate high of a long weekend. I'm sure at least one egg will remain hidden until July. 🐣

I did things a little differently this year — after learning that our typical dollar store Easter eggs are actually "chocolate flavoured" and full of junk, we switched to plastic eggs and a scavenger hunt (thanks ChatGPT) that led to a real cocoa bunny at the end. Highly recommend.

This weekend we're cashing in on the grandparents' Christmas gift and heading to Great Wolf Lodge for a night. For those who've been — please point me to the adult-only pool bar?😂 I'll report back next week on this "relaxing getaway."

It's a short week but there's lots going on. And for those still looking for summer camp options, Rooks to Cooks cooking camp has locations across the city with a few spots left before prices go up May 1st. Keep scrolling!
