Winter in Ottawa isn’t always easy. This year has brought us a LOT of snow, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures – it can leave kids and adults feeling a little stir crazy. I know the importance of having some great options for an indoor space and play place…
The Easter long weekend is just around the corner and I am looking forward to some fun time with the kids – particularly taking part in a good egg hunt or two. I’m just really hoping it starts looking like spring outside soon and we don’t…
