It’s like exploring an enchanted forest with streaks of light forcing it’s way through the lush canopy of trees and spring wild flowers stretching out of the ground in an attempt to catch every second of these rays of sun from above. On our way back from St Jacobs we decided to explore the trails [...]
Have you been to the AGH (Art Gallery Of Hamilton) recently? It’s one of those places where there’s always something new and exciting to see and there are times when certain exhibitions are free to browse. More on that later. I’d never been to an art gallery before, but it was one of those things [...]
There’s nothing more appealing than having to spend your evening covering an event that focuses on food. Especially when it’s professionally run and very welcoming. As part of the Ancaster Heritage Days, the Taste Of Ancaster is in it’s 6th year and we were afforded the opportunity to be part of it. After contacting Mary Ann [...]

Absolutely one of the best 18 hole miniature golf course I’ve ever played. It was one of those hot and humid days where you just didn’t want to leave the refreshing cool air inside the car to venture out, however our visit to Adventure Village was put off the last two times we planned a [...]

Tucked away just off Airport Road in Mt Hope, within the Southern Pines Golf and Country Club and overlooking the golf course is The Pines Spa, where the focus of today’s review is getting a set of gel nail extensions. A very common procedure women get done at spas, but this was all new to [...]

We were told that if we were planing on visiting St Jacobs that we should try to arrive early, as it gets pretty crowded on the weekend especially with the wonderful weather in the forecast. Friends of ours had dined at the Stone Crock Restaurant on a previous trip to St Jacobs, so they suggested [...]

When most of us think about Battlefield House we immediately vision the re-enactment of the Battle of Stoney Creek which takes place on it’s grounds every Spring (something you should not miss) or being in a wedding party and going there after the ceremony to take pictures. But did you know that there’s much more [...]

What a lovely weekend to spend some time outdoors enjoying the rich and diverse culture of our region as far as crafts, food and music goes, at the annual “It’s Your Festival” held at Gage Park in Hamilton. Last year we covered the “Festival of Friends” at the same location and over the years we [...]

When was the last time you took time to really relax, enjoy good company and end it all with a gripping musical performance? As I drove up the long gravel driveway up to the master crafted Victorian home that was built back in the late 1840′s, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The last time [...]

Where else can you jump in your car, drive under 30 minutes and find yourself in the middle of the most laden cherry trees you’ve ever seen? Cherries that are bursting with sweetness and so juicy they give a sort of “pop” when you bite into them. Yesterday I went down to Beamsville (part of [...]

I must confess that I’m not a huge fan of berries, but that changed after eating fresh strawberries picked off the bush this past weekend. That sweet, plump and juicy berry was unlike anything I had ever tasted from the grocery stores. About 19 years ago I had my first “pick your own” experience, but [...]

Why is it the second time you do something you realize that you missed so much during the first experience? I had the opportunity to tour Dundurn Castle this past week and though we did a similar tour a few years back as a family, I found that nothing beats the second time around. That said, if [...]

With my annual Spring planting day rapidly approaching I figured it was time to hit the garden centers (also see Holland Park Burlington | Terra Greenhouses). It seems to be the norm in Ontario that we put in our plants the long weekend in May, so there’s usually a rush to get plants at these garden [...]
