Add This Calabogie Inn To Your Must Stay List

We recently visited converted ski lodge turned boutique stay, Somewhere Inn, nestled ever so perfectly in Calabogie, Ontario. If you haven't already seen it on Instagram then keep reading before adding to your must stay list.

Off-Grid With Cabinscape

 It's an infamous theme around here, my suggestion to consider experiences over things. It's right up there next to my "buy better, buy less" preference, discussed many times over the years in this space.

We've been gifting the kids experiences for their birthdays for the past few years and try to implement the same mindset when it comes to other holidays, occasions and beyond.

We've done many staycations, little getaways and even some major travelling with our eldest but nothing has been quite like our latest experience and stay with family-founded company, Cabinscape.

Cabinscape is a Canadian owned and operated company, offering eco-conscious cabin stays for those looking to experience intimate, off-grid stays. Locations range from low remoteness (ability to drive-in and near to other cabins and/or amenities) to high remoteness (hike-in required, distant from other accommodations, towns and resources). Every micro cabin is custom designed and built with everything you need, while prioritizing a minimized footprint.

Getting Festive With Tim Hortons

Simple Tips For Convenient Travel, With Amex Canada

Travelling with the kids is significantly harder than it was when we made moves solo and I’m talking trips near or far (lord knows even a road trip takes work these days). But because we consider these important moments, we continue to make sure adventure stays a part of our norm by doing a few things.

OM MOM STYLE, with Solly Baby

Whether you’ve been here since my first baby (our son) or came around our newest’s arrival (baby girl), you probably already know that I am a babywearing faithful both by choice and otherwise.

A Few Favourites + My Tiny People

Naming Our Daughter, Naïa

Gathre Yoga, Mini Edition

Winter Beach Outings, with Alice + Whittles

Disclaimer: I’m not an “outdoorsy” person by any means, so when you read this post, it’s coming from a place of understanding for anyone who’d rather be somewhere warm — including inside.

But since becoming parents, we’ve (self proclaiming) embraced a lot of things that aren’t exactly my jam. And for most, not all, of the time — I’m so happy about what the open mindedness has done for both my child’s growth and even more so, our own!

New Year, New Everything

If you’ve long followed The OM Edit, or former ‘Peeks At Five Ft.’, then you know just how many “adventures” we’ve been on. That’s what I call them — our moves, team changes, free agency, last minute contract signing and everything in between like marriage itself, parenthood... you know.. adventures!

And while we love each new adventure as it comes, we of course have favourites. The next, easily finding it’s way into the top few.

Bilingualism / Second Languages With Kids

After much interest regarding some insta-stories shared of R working on his Spanish, I compiled a tidbit on what / why / how we ended up pursuing a language other than our own with him.

Carnaval Del Sol, Vancouver

The universe has a funny way of working, doesn’t it? This will be Rhe’s first summer in Canada, not in Latin America. And while we are loving our new chapter in Vancouver, it almost doesn’t feel right. Seriously – this kid was made for living at the equator. But the biggest Latin American Festival in the entire PNW, Carnaval del Sol, just so happens to be held right here. Fitting isn’t it?

Why I Encourage My Kid To Risk Falling Down

It’s not what it sounds like — not exactly, at least.

Buying Better, And Blundstone

I can honestly say, there’s been a noticeable difference since focusing on more intentional consumer habits. Buying better might just sound like a good saying but it’s really so much more than that. Having only things you love, that are well made, and are entirely functional to your day-to-day living matters.
