Moving to a new city, let alone a new country is an anxious driven experience. More so for children than adults surely. Even though my wife and I are both Canadian, we met in Dubai, got married there, and had our son there. At 7 years he visited the country but only two weeks at…

Where to go?
Deciding where to go on a trip can be overwhelming, you might not have an idea of where you want to go, for how long and how. Budget is an issue, and time constraints can be limiting to, but they are only one factor that can affect your decision. So here are a few (additional)…
An every day hearty soup
I’m a huge fan of soups, especially if you are trying to eat healthier. They fill you up and you can jam pack them with veggies and healthy goodies without really tasting all those veggies (which is great for kids). They are a light dinner which is easy on your bowl especially if you plan…
How to register your baby in Ontario
Congratulations – so you had a new baby. A million things might be going through your mind already (including the lack of sleep), but to add to the pressure you’ll need to make sure your baby’s paper work is in order to get hem as part of the “system”. Here’s a quick guide of what…
Astana: Intro to Central Asia
Bad mouthed as sanitised and tacky compared to Almaty; but has it’s own quirky twist and nice feel.
Family fun ideas in the GTA (Toronto)

Kids and errands
I have, what I think to be, a higher than usual hyperactive child. It’s always been a challenge to keep him distracted while my wife and I catch up on any semblance of chores. I saw all the videos of Japanese kids cleaning their classrooms, and thought what the hell? Why is my kid not…
Religion and the Environment – A Thought
I don’t consider myself a practising environmentalist, but I certainly do my part and have deep concern for the current stage of the world, and being a traveller that is inevitable when you see the full beauty of this planet. I also do appreciate the impact that I as a person have on the larger…
Urination situation
My son has recently began, or rather regularly continued, a cycle of night bed wetting. My wife can’t relate but when I was his age (6-8) the second round of bed wetting (first round being when I was a baby) was embarrassing, frustrating, and confusing to me. So I completely understand where he’s coming from,…
