It's that time of summer where we've hit the halfway point and I start panicking that I haven't done all the things! Let's all take a deep breath. There is still plenty of summer fun to be had!

We took a road trip to London last week. My first solo parenting road trip with the kids. Overall it was a success... other than my 18-month-old chucking my car keys into a toilet at an On Route in Woodstock.🤦‍♀️

🚤 Long weekend alert! This is traditionally a weekend we spend up north at my parents' place — the kids decorate our boat for the annual boat parade and compete in swimming races at the regatta.

For those staying in the city, there is tons going on. Keep scrolling to plan your long weekend!

P.S. If you'll be outdoors this weekend like me, we've got you covered with a promo code for a baby and kid-friendly bites and stings cream. Keep scrolling! 🐝
