Plan Your Family’s Summer Getaway, Visit the Eaton Chelsea Toronto

July 22, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

July is more then half way done, but there's still plenty of time to plan some family fun. For those of you here in Ontario who don't want to travel far, I've got the perfect destination, somewhere that caters to kids and has enough onsite activities to keep you there for multiple days -- the Eaton Chelsea in Toronto. No seriously, this is one of the most family friendly places … [Read more...]

Our Family Stay at the Eaton Chelsea in Toronto

June 11, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

My husband and I first visited the (then Delta) Chelsea during our honeymoon. Since then we've stayed there many times over the years, but this was our first time staying with kids in tow. The Eaton Chelsea's tagline is Toronto's Family Fun Headquarters and it's spot on. It is one of the most family friendly places I have ever set foot in. For the moment we walked in the door … [Read more...]

Looking for a Family Friendly March Break Destination? Think Eaton Chelsea.

March 4, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I'm pretty excited to be planning out our March Break trip to Toronto. Next weekend we're off for a two night stay at the Eaton Chelsea. Ok, I'm not going to lie, I would prefer a sunny destination. Somewhere toasty warm, with saltwater beaches. But that's not in the budget. Three days in Toronto is much more do-able, and to my kids every bit as exciting. A year ago this … [Read more...]

Blue Mountain Resort, Staying at Westin Trillium House

June 20, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Right now I'm quietly chilling in a darkened hotel room while my daughters snore on a cozy sofa bed.   Today we drove for about six hours to get from Windsor to Blue Mountain Resort, where my mom, my girls and I are visiting for a family orientated blogger retreat. Let's just start by saying that I knew this trip was going to rock from the get go.  Everything I have seen and … [Read more...]

Our Stay at The Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto {Detailed Hotel Review}

May 26, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I walked into our room at The Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto and I was immediately impressed by the spacious suite we had been provided with. Actually to call it a room would be to do the space a disservice, it was more like a loft apartment. Walking in the door I couldn't help but notice the floor to ceiling windows on the far wall.  And that ceiling, it was quite a ways up, … [Read more...]

Check Out Where I’m Spending the Next Three Nights!

May 8, 2013 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

When hubby gets home from work today we are leaving for Toronto. I am one lucky duck, to have a mom that is willing to come watch the kids while we sneak out of town to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I have got to admit, I am excited at the prospect of three nights out of town and the idea of a little one on one time with my husband. But you know what I am really, really, … [Read more...]

Our Stay at the Delta Chelsea in Downtown Toronto

December 1, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I want to tell you guys about the awesome stay we had at the Delta Chelsea in Downtown Toronto. Rather then heading straight home on the train after the P&G Mom event, my husband drove into Toronto to meet me and we stayed on for a couples getaway at the Delta Chelsea. We try to find a way to do this a few times a year, just enjoy time together as a couple and rest, relax … [Read more...]

Delta Hotels plan to update their rewards program in 2013, Here’s how you can have your say…

November 18, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I love Delta Hotels. They are hands down my favourite hotel chain. And a big part of that is their free rewards program, Delta Privilege.  I don't travel enough within the year to meet the minimum stays to earn the next level in their program. Even at base level I love the perks, particularly the free local calls and the option to extend your check-out time to 6pm. Over the … [Read more...]

My review of our stay at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre, London (Ontario)

September 2, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

Am I the only one who on first stepping into a hotel room races straight for the bathroom? Ok, so maybe the lengthy road trip leading up to arriving at the hotel has a little something to do with it, but mainly it's because I am a sucker for a nice hotel bathroom, and when we first arrive I just can't wait to take a peek. The bathroom in our room at the Ivey Spencer did not … [Read more...]

We Snuck Away to London & Found Something Fantastic…

August 26, 2012 by Deanna Tousignant 1 Comment

After several months of working crazy shifts and long hours, my husband finally managed to line up a weekend off. So I found myself planning a last minute getaway for just the two of us.  One of our favourite vacation spots is London, Ontario. It's only a 2 hour drive, there's plenty of fine food and beer to be had, and some of the world's best used book stores. We go at least … [Read more...]
