Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion
This is my balcony at the JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa…
… and this is my view.
As such, I hope you’ll understand if I bugger off blogging today and simply enjoy the moment. Have a wonderful day friends! I’ll be back home tomorrow, but today – today is for remembering that sometimes, we all need to slow down.
Yes, friends… I hear Mother Nature calling… and she’s beckoning me to a luxury resort in the heart of the Muskoka Lakes. Twist my arm!
Last month, I told y’all about Travelocity.ca’s Go Seize the Summer Sale –

Friends, I’ve found a new way to raise my kids, spend time with them, and survive the preschool years… without strangling them.
It’s called Family Travel.
(Disclaimer: I do not actually strangle my kids, nor do I plan to in the near future. However, has the thought ever crossed my mind? Er….)
On our last family adventure to Walt Disney World in May, I discovered that while my boys are jerks less-than-angels at home, they always rise to the occasion and morph into wonderful travellers. In fact, they’re usually up for a good press trip, staycation or all-day excursion – and, I’m so pleased to be able to offer them opportunities to discover the world beyond their own backyard. With equal parts wonder and excitement, they help me pack for our vacation, make a list of cars they’d like to bring along, and always, always remind me to pack their swim trunks. Let’s just say that our family bonding begins even before we walk out the front door!
Now this is Ryder’s very first summer vacation (yep, wouldn’t it be nice to be 5 years old again!) and I want to make it one to remember. So, I’ve been doing my part to plan day trips, weekends away, and even looking into a short family vacation at the end of August, just before school resumes. In short, I want to ensure that we’re spending this precious time together, and making the most of the amazing local attractions and tourist stops that are just a short drive away. This year, we plan to #GoSeizetheSummer!
Hence, when I heard about Travelocity.ca’s Go Seize the Summer Sale, I was pretty much in seventh heaven –
“Make this the best summer ever with the Go Seize the Summer Sale! Recreate memories of summer vacations past or create new memories. There are holiday ideas to suit a variety of interests and budgets. Explore the historical cities of Europe, enjoy the ocean breeze of the seaside, head to the outdoors for your next adventure, enjoy the sites of the Big City or discover more exotic destinations.

Hello! Great deals on hotels and destinations, specifically geared toward family travel? My boys have already cracked open their suitcases, and are ready to take off!…
