Now that I’ve been to Canada’s Wonderland for Media Day (click here to watch the highlights on our Instagram account), I’m already trying to sort out exactly how many visits I can get in this season with my Gold Season Pass to the park. The May long weekend has always been one that I find myself spending outside as much as possible. So from the gardening I plan on doing, to visiting the park for their long weekend fireworks spectacular, I wanted to share some of my long weekend #vibes to inspire your own!

You Can Do Anything You Put Your Mind To
My Dad used to always tell me that I could do anything I put my mind to. Be it moving to Toronto to chase my career goals, or going full time for the blog, he was always my biggest fan. He was the biggest hopeless romantic and I like to think in a lot of ways I am like him.
Traditions have become such an important part of my life as I’ve gotten older. Looking back on memories of my Dad, one that always comes to mind is him picking up his LOTTO MAX ticket every week. He would play one ticket with my Mom and another with his coworkers. As I grew up, I took on the tradition and still to this day buy my lottery tickets every week. There’s something in the beauty of it and how it feels like I’m continuing something now in Dad’s name. Who knows? Maybe that possible $70 Million jackpot is meant for me and my family! Starting May 14, Ontarians will have the chance to win the highest single jackpot in Canadian history with LOTTO MAX — and the opportunity to now play on Tuesdays in addition to Fridays.

How Are You Joining In On McHappy Day?
Many years ago – over twenty tbh – I was a teenager looking for my first job. Living in Orleans, Ontario (a suburb in the east end of Ottawa), I brushed up my first ever resume and walked through the doors of the McDonald’s at the corner of Tenth Line and Innes Road. Following in the footsteps of my Dad who also got his first job at that age in Montreal, I landed my first job with a company that would shape not only my work ethic, but my dedication to charities like RMHC Canada. Today as I celebrate #McHappyDay 2019 I wanted to take a moment to thank McDonald’s Canada for so many ways for us to help them raise money for families that need it most and for continuing to be a driving force in Canada for communities and support.

A Weekend Away Fit For A King or Two
It’s the month of May and I am sitting down to write another chapter in the book I am working on, looking out the window wishing the sunshine would come back. In the city of Toronto, we have had what I can only describe as the most tenacious of winters and it just won’t seem to go away. That being said, with my new schedule and focus on the things I am working towards in my life, I get excited about weekends again. Those two beautiful days (or even better, three for a long weekend!) hold so much possibility and recently I had the pleasure of experiencing a pretty spectacular one that I would love to tell you a bit more about.
