A walk down memory lane

I find myself getting nostalgic a lot lately. Taking a walk down memory lane, I find myself remembering certain parts of my childhood fondly and thinking about how I might be able to create similar memories and experiences for our future children. As Julio & I are slowly starting to look into the process of starting a family, it only makes sense that I turn to my own experiences for inspiration. From family vacations, to family meals, there is so much to be learn from the lessons my parents instilled in my brother and I.  Continue reading “A walk down memory lane”

Events | Come get a sneak peek event to celebrate the launch of Nintendo’s YO-KAI WATCH 2 games and toys!

For those of you who have gotten to know me over the years, you’ll realize that I am a big kid at heart. When we have the opportunity, Julio & I can usually be found on Saturday mornings eating sugary cereal watching cartoons. Amid Pokémon, Power Rangers and a few others, we’ve gotten looped into the world of YO-KAI WATCH. That’s why when our friends at Nintendo told us about a sneak peek event taking place here in Toronto to preview the NEW YO-KAI WATCH 2: Bony Spirits and YO-KAI WATCH 2: Fleshy Souls video games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems before they come out on September 30, we knew we HAD to there.

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. My Dad has been such a huge part of my life and is the reason I am the man I have become AND my brother is celebrating his first #FathersDay. So when I sat down to look for the Dad’s in my life, it only made sense to visit Hudson’s Bay. We’ve gathered together our Top 5 gifts for Dad that he will really want this #FathersDay!
