Port Perry: A Hidden Gem nestled on the Shorelines of Lake Scugog
I’ve got to be honest: I’m a little reluctant to share my love of this gem of a town with you all. I feel like I’m giving away my secret Tres Leches recipe or telling you a well-guarded secret that should only be divulged on my deathbed.

Upon leaving, he...
A Family Vacation @ Niagara Falls
As a recent immigrant to Canada, my first trip ever to Niagara Falls was unforgettable. This majestic, iconic wonder of the world, that I had only seen on TV and pictures, was just something way beyond what I could have ever imagined. But having just immigrated to Canada, at that time we didn’t really know much about the area and were not really able to afford many of the hotels and attractions. So we would go visit, spend...
A very Tropical brunch experience: Lula Lounge’s Family Sunday Brunch
