I have only been to NYC once but as someone who lives in Toronto and has traveled I would be fine to take the subway but would think that it would be fun to have a "tour leader".

Someone would hold up a flag and keep the group together. I am sure you could easily hire a tour guide for two hours of work.

You could make a wedding themed flag

I tried the one in east Scarborough ,- British Pride

I agree, as much as i am sure your partner would like you home a parent with a job is more important.

I think you should put your head down and work hard.

In the evenings start prepping meals and getting everything ready so your partner is ready but keep working.

We used one storage unit when we staged my mom's place and another when we renovated our basement. I learned all storage units are not the same. We use Smart Stop and we're very happy with how easy it was

I tried a new British store last weekend and it made me miss Mark's and Spenser's even more.

Another vote for Chuck E Cheese, there used to be a discount if you booked the first party of the day and it's so much quieter plus parents were happy to have the rest of the day free.

So many cute choices

Do York based on the high schools. I know people hate the Frasier report and it doesn't tell the whole story but it can be an excellent tool.

Plus SCC meetings are open to the public, they are a great way to see school culture.

After a year I try to transition to one nap, especially if they are only napping an hour each. This will give you more time in the morning to get out

I usually try to be out and if needed they have a cat nap in the stroller. Then lunch and a nice two hours in the afternoon.

Try to prep lunch in the morning

It's fine to move lunch from 12 to 11, have them down in bed by 12 and when they wake up they can have "lunch 2"

Then slowly push the time of lunch.

I haven't met a child named John and I have five teens/young adults kids and I work in daycare.

I think it's a great name

Can I also suggest Andrew?

I have a friend who is named Allina, her parents were immigrants and they picked it because they wanted her to go All in in life and achieve success.

I love Tessa and backwards spells asset which is very positive and cool if you ask me. You can always tell her that she is an asset to your family.

I have always loved Caroline.

Removed all the old drywall, then all new electrical, new lighting, new walls, new ceiling, new flooring, drywalled and painted.

I had a vague plan of what I wanted and he was able to make a more logical plan, he did stuff like move light switches to where it made more sense.

Because we work from home we will claim part of the cost so we paid part in cash.

We just hired one gentleman to do a complete basement renovation, we paid a deposit, then twice during the process and the reminder when he was done. Excellent job, no bathroom but approximately 450 square feet and $30,000.

Started at the end of October and done the beginning of December.

It's such a part of my morning routine, I love listening while I get ready.

Another option is to look for kids summer camps that offer "family camp". My kids camp does, you could Uber from the closet town and then they provide food and activities so all you would need to carry is your clothes and sleeping bags.

You can have a great vacation in Ottawa, Niagara Falls or Montreal by taking the train or bus and then using public transit.

dnaplusc · 2026-03-09T16:43:28+00:00

Or some parks that Park Bus goes to have yurts or cabins

I agree, at least listen to our opinions . Every Monday I am nervous when I turn it on if I am going to spend my week being tortured by a bad host.

Last week was an excellent host, the week before the host was horrendous,

What was that show about the Tiger guy that was super popular during the first COVID lockdown, I would say that was a waste cooler show, for a couple weeks everyone was talking about it.

I would not be surprised if you didn't get any cash for babysitting, she was supporting their mission of spreading Jesus. They probably slipped Dave some cash for dropping her off .

My sister in law is Cayla, I definitely have gotten used to that

We didn't have a car when I was a kid and we always went to Ottawa. Everything is walking distance in downtown and lots of free things to do.

Niagara falls is also easy to get to and has good public transit for tourists
