Fall is one of my favourite seasons for getting out and making memories with the kids.

Being a parent in this day and age probably means you’ve felt at some point that every occasion is becoming another Christmas with big extravagant Easter baskets, Boo Baskets, and even December 1st boxes trending on social media.

We recently returned from our first ever family vacation since having kids where we spent 8 days and 7 nights in Nova Scotia with our 4-year-old and 3-month-old.

My Family is currently two weeks out from our first family vacation (not counting camping trips) since having kids. It’s actually our first trip since 2015! We didn’t even have a real honey moon as we were married in the fall of 2019 and had planned a honey moon in Mexico in early 2020 which…
