Bring on the good times and the  summer weather! Now that June is here, Canadian kids (and parents) are getting restless. I’m among them. From the moment the sun pops out for more than a minute, I’m digging out the summer dresses and taking up residence on my front porch. I can sense it in the kids too: Studying takes a little more encouragement and even the after school activities seem to start to be resented for creeping into much desired free time.

We are all craving those lazy days with no routines and quiet nights. It helps that summer also brings summer vacations. We’re busy planning our adventures by plane, train, road and more. Our house is abuzz with excitement over the adventures to come. If you haven’t booked your summer vacation yet, don’t worry. There are still plenty of deals out there to snap up. Here are just a few:
