Events | Our top 5 gifts from Hudson’s Bay that Dad really wants for #FathersDay

Let’s be honest, Dads across the country sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is one of those occasions that we go all out and spoil mom, but what about Dad?! Something as sweet and sentimental as this custom photo lighter, with the opportunity to engrave any picture or sentiment on it, is enough for father’s around the world to be appreciative. I know that in our home as we start to plan for a family, Father’s Day will be twice as big because our little ones will have two to celebrate. I’m already looking forward to any homemade and personalized gifts they decide to give me. Last year they gifted me a Custom Camera Roll Keychain with their photos on it but went for a homemade keychain instead. I loved it, so I’m excited to see what we’ll get this year. My children aren’t the only ones thinking about Father’s Day. I have to think about what I’m going to get my dad and my brother.

Events | Montreal & Toronto team up for the All-Star Gala supporting SickKids and Montreal Children’s Hospital

Being that I was born in Montreal and raised by my father, probably the biggest Canadiens fans I have ever met, when I told him I was moving to Toronto this of course came up. He joked and told me that I was never allowed to consider myself a Maple Leafs fan… So thankfully, when I heard that Montreal Canadiens’ PK Subban and Toronto Maple Leafs’ Peter Holland have put their rivalry aside to team up for the All-Star Gala supporting SickKids and Montreal Children’s Hospital. It of course is one of the best events of the year and I can’t wait to attend with Julio!
