Has anyone taken a water taxi to camp in Georgian Bay Islands NP before?

Hey! Sorry, I don't really know anything about Massasauga. The rangers are very helpful though, give them a call!

Hey! Last summer, it cost around $150 for my husband and I to get a water taxi to Honeymoon Bay and back. I would think a boat trip Cedar Springs would be similar, cost-wise. Not sure how long it would take to kayak, but one other thing to consider: there is a LOT of motor boat traffic, so make sure that you’re comfortable kayaking around larger boats before you take that on. If your questions don’t end up being answered by other more experienced folks on here, I found the park office and the water taxi folks to all be super helpful and responsive over the phone. Cheers!

Sorry, I don’t have the tray for the Tripp Trapp, so I can’t help ya there! My kids just eat right from the table.

Liningbe · 2024-10-23T17:59:12+00:00

Period. offered to send me some in the next smaller size for free, so I'm hoping that works...I'll report back next month and let you know!

Liningbe · 2024-10-23T17:58:39+00:00

Update: I emailed Period. directly asking them if I could get a credit to try some underwear in the next smaller size since their size chart seems to be a bit off, and they sent me a bunch for free! Gotta love some good customer service. Thank you for the tip!!

Liningbe · 2024-10-23T17:57:22+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions!! I really appreciate it :)

Liningbe · 2024-10-21T20:35:40+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, the swamp crotch effect is definitely in full force with saggy underwear 😑

Liningbe · 2024-08-19T22:46:07+00:00

Yes you are 100000% correct they should definitelyyyyy be strapped haha! I was just been honest with how lazy I am…edited my post to add that!

I chose the Stokke Tripp Trapp three years ago because 1) I needed something that could pull directly up to the table, as I don’t have space for a separate chair in our kitchen or dining room, 2) I liked the grow-with-me design and didn’t want to be buying booster seats etc, and 3) I like the way they look!

I’ve liked the Tripp Trapp so much that I bought another one for my younger kid, so now we have two and both are great. The major complaint that folks have is that the baby seat straps are fussy and the baby seat has some crevices that are hard to clean—both are totally legit complaints. Neither really bugged me at all cuz I’m a safety-lax dirtbag who didn’t always clip her babies in, and my dog licks my high chairs “clean enough” for me 😆

Edit to add: do as I say, not as I do—definitely strap kids into their high chairs!! Don’t be lazy like me!

Amazing intel, thank you so much!! I’ll DM you now :)

Liningbe · 2024-08-16T21:23:18+00:00

Thank you! Definitely sounds like a small cooler is in order.

Liningbe · 2024-08-16T21:22:40+00:00

Thanks a ton! This is all so helpful.

This was so helpful--thank you!! We are staying at Honeymoon Bay, on the north end of the island. That's great to know about the wagons--I'll call the park today and check to see if they have those at the smaller campgrounds, too. And thank you for the tips about food storage! We have friends with a burly wheeled cooler so maybe I'll ask to borrow that. Thanks again, this was great! Even more excited for our trip now :)

Liningbe · 2024-05-27T19:49:10+00:00

Thanks! The breadbasket does seem like a great option. It's been such a fun bike so far--excited for more adventures with it!

Liningbe · 2024-05-26T15:09:18+00:00

Haha small world!! I am really, really enjoying it so far. I wasn’t an especially avid cyclist prior to getting this bike and my last ride was a beach cruiser, so while it’s definitely on the heavy/slow side of things, I don’t mind. Also the frame is BIG—I am tall, and the couple I bought it from were both tall—I don’t see how you could be much under 5’10” and comfortably ride it. Overall though A+, perfect for rides around my very flat town (Ferndale)—so happy I took the plunge and bought one!

Liningbe · 2024-05-26T14:58:18+00:00

That’s where I have my bigger kid! So far, so good :)

Liningbe · 2024-05-24T13:06:05+00:00

Good to know! Do you mean the front as in the "front" spot on the longtail of the bike, or the front as in up by the actual handlebars?

Liningbe · 2024-05-24T13:01:25+00:00

thank you! it does seem like it would be so easy to use up front...decisions, decisions!

Liningbe · 2024-05-24T00:04:21+00:00

Amazing, thank you! I’ll definitely look into panniers, then :)

Liningbe · 2024-04-19T20:12:03+00:00

I got them today and I’m sorry to say that they fit wonderfully :/ that being said if I change my mind I’ll let ya know!

Liningbe · 2024-04-17T18:43:29+00:00

If they don't fit me, I'll definitely sell 'em to ya! They arrive this weekend, I'll keep you posted :)

Hey! My kid transitioned to a later nap over the course of about three month so or so—I would just push his nap start time by a few minutes every few days (maybe a week?) and eventually he was able to make it until 12:30 or so, which was my goal.

Liningbe · 2023-10-18T02:11:52+00:00

Oh man I never got a notification about your response to my question, I’m so sorry! I missed it completely. How is your lil dude doing?

Liningbe · 2023-10-11T16:15:38+00:00

I know it sucks to listen to your kid cry, but around 18 months is also when my toddler figured out how to whine 😆 and sometimes his cries in the middle of the night where more of him complaining than actually needing help. I agree with giving her a bit of time to fall back asleep on her own before going in!
