Family vacation February 2020

 I just realized that I didn't blog our last vacation! The reason? Well we came back just weeks before the pandemic hit in Canada! So it must have slipped my mind!




This vacation was a family wedding vacation! I am soo happy we had all that time with family now looking back. Who would have thought the year ahead would have been this!




Last February we went to Cuba! Pullman Cayo Coco

We were up at 3:30 AM to get to our 6am Flight!

The kids love this part of vacations (moms not so much ha!) waking up and getting in the car when it's dark to travel to the airport!

We got a valet car service, where we went and picked up a driver. He then got in our car and drove us to the front doors of the airport. We got out and he left to park our car! (on the way back home we texted the car service and they met us right outside) Best service especially with kids!




I've learned over the years to travel with backpacks! Check in the big luggage and go on the plane as handsfree as you can! We each had a backpack. In each of our backpacks I put, 1 outfit, 1 bathing suit, snacks of course, phones/ipads. and my makeup ha! Because if for some reason a luggage was delayed, We would all have a little bit to get by!

Once at the destination, it's all fun! No rules! ha! All inclusive vacations are pretty straight forward. 

Eat, Drink,Beach,Eat,Drink,Pool,Eat, Drink, Dance, Eat,Drink, Sleep. Ha!




So lets's just tell the rest of the story in beautiful pictures! One day we will all get to travel and see the world again! As long as we are all healthy and safe, that is always priority!


The kids went swimming with the Dolphins! 



The kids had a blast on the beach 


The mommy’s too




Ohh how we miss the ocean 




My beautiful cousin got married! This was just last year!!!!



Missing this view! 


Fun music nights! 




The sunshine and breeze! 




And coconut drinks by the beach! 




We had a few trips planned for this year that have been cancelled! Disney and Hawaii! Not sure when we will travel again but we can’t wait to travel again when it’s safe! 

Are you planning your next trip!?

New Kitty in town

Last year around Christmas time we got our first Bengal Cat! Petey! When we picked him up, my kids wanted his sister too! We weren't ready for 2 cats at the time. 

We kept in touch with the breeder and sure enough, Petey's sister had a litter. Our hearts just melted when we saw the pictures of Petey's nephew. The only boy in the litter. 




Meet Gravy! He is the new little addition to our family.  If you follow me on IG you already got your dose of Gravy hhaha!




Petey was not impressed at first. We slowly introduced them.  We keep them seperated most the day, and especially at night.  They can only be together supervised.  Every day they get better and learning to share the house. 




Bengal cats are very social and vocal cats! These 2 bengal cats will definitely keep us entertained.

Great Wolf Lodge fun and tips!



For the past 4 years, we’ve had a Christmas tradition of going to Great Wolf lodge! I’m pretty sure I have many posts from the past about it!

Great Wolf can totally be done on a budget but also can get quite expensive with all the ad ons. Since we have been many times and know what we like, we budget in advanced for the cost! 

We usually stay 1 night. We’ve done 2 nights in the past, just depends on the great deal you get ha!



The water park opens at 9am, so the day you check in you can get there early and enjoy the water. Even though check in is later on. You can just leave your bags at the front and they will bring them over to your room. Then you can grab a locker in the water park and put the rest of your things after you change and head in the water! Or! Get the cabana!




The past few times we went with family, we split the cost of the cabana.

We love getting the cabana for the group. Instead of getting a locker you can just put your stuff in the cabana and there’s a safe too. So get there for 9am and go straight to your cabana, The cabana comes with towels, water, juice, some fruit and some snacks. They also deliver your food right to the cabana :) 

We always get the meal plan. It’s definitely worth it. Kids under 3 are free so that’s great too.

For the lunch the dads got burgers and fries, the moms got chicken fingers and fries haha (salads available too) the kids got pizza and hotdogs.


My older son was the height for all the slides but the rest of the littles could only go on a few. But there’s a wave pool, kids hottub, adult hot tub too, lots of slides for the big kids and the little kids Ha! Even the dads had a blast.


Great Wolf lodge isn’t only about the water park. It’s the whole experience.  At Christmas it’s fully decorated with lights and it’s soo festive! We love it! Santa even shows up for pics! 



Oh back to the meal plan. The meal plan comes with lunch, dinner at the buffet and breakfast at the buffet. 
They have a good selection of food and desserts.

My little guy was standard with the nuggets, fries and pasta. 
Mr K had everything, from salmon, mussels, pasta, Mac and cheese, ribs and a huge ice cream bowl with all the toppings.


We stayed in the water park until 4pm (water park is open 9am-9pm) then headed to the room to get some rest, shower and come out in our Pj’s for for dinner. That’s a must at great wolf! 

We always get the wolf den suite with bunk beds for the kids! 


In the evening there’s soo much to do at great wolf lodge. 

They had a snow fall! (Bubbles)
Story time for the kids! 
PJ dance party! 
They have a few cafes for mom and dad to get coffee or delicious sweets and ice cream  haha

Our kids have had the paw pass in the passed
Which gave them their wolf ears, magiquest wands (which we activate every year) and their stuffed animal (which you choose and stuff when you get a paw pass)


The magiquest game is all over GreatWolf lodge so it’s always a fun game with the kids and adults going through the stairwell and all the floors waving their wands.




Ohhh and I can’t forget the arcades. We always end the evening at the arcades. Playing allll the games!







We all had a blast! 

Mama T tips!
Bring bathing suits haha duh!
Flip flops! 
Robes for the kids is good for when they walk over to the room.
Pj’s! 
Waterproof phone cases!
I recommend getting the meal plan too.
Bring snacks for your room for the night while you cozy up and watch a movie with your fam. I brought water bottles, chips, candy, granola bars. 
If I think of anything else I’ll add it in the comments.
Or just DM me on Instagram and I’ll be happy to answer any questions!


Since the falls is just around the corner and it was a nice Sunday afternoon. We stopped by the falls and even did the journey behind the falls! 150 ft down by elevator and through the tunnels, behind the falls! 






Ha! Those rain coats were needed. 
The kids were fascinated.

Mother’s Day traditions 

Our Mother’s Day tradition is going to watch a blue jays game! We have a whole day of fun family time. Taking the subway down to the Rogers center. Getting hotdogs and popcorn and enjoying the game!! And of course we stopped by the Recroom to play some video games!

A fun day with these boys is exactly how I love spending Mother’s Day. These kiddos just melt my heart!
Baby M was taking it all in and he really enjoying being out and about sight seeing. He’s fascinated with the subway and loved every minute of being downtown. He is growing up super fast and I just want to remember every moment!

Our big move is quickly approaching! Just a month away. More on that next time! Have a great week!

Carnival Magic Cruise pt 1


We went on our first cruise in Feb!
We flew to Orlando and spent a night there before making our way to the ship!

The boys had snacks and iPads and toys to keep them entertained on the flight.
We checked in our hotel and went straight to Cocoa Beach.

The day of our cruise we had breakfast and the local IHOP. Yummyyyy. And on our walk there, Cocoa beach firemen waved and then stopped to give the kids a gift! How nice!!

That afternoon we headed to the cruise! Check in was soo easy! Everything was smooth and that’s perfect when you are traveling with 2 Little’s.

The first thing we did was check out our room and the ship!
Awesome balcony, super comfy beds, and it was bigger than I expected.

Luggage’s fit easily under the beds too, so that saves a ton of space.

These are pics from our first day exploring the ship. Waving bye to Florida as we departed. There was mini golf and a kids camp too. Although  our kids lasted 20 mins there. It’s Just so much more fun being with mommy and daddy!
The dinners were delish! Mr K was feasting! Umm he was having salmon and lobster and steak dinners. The good news is that even tho you order entress at dinner, you can order as many as you like! So we would sometimes order one of each so we can see what was best! Yummy! The food on Carnival Magic was all around delicious.
Having a balcony was great too. Especially if the kids were napping or we were getting ready, it was nice to have the time on the balcony taking in the ocean breeze. Mr M was always up early so he loved the sunrise while sitting on the balcony.

Head over to my instagram @aka_mama_t for some mommy tips on traveling with kids!
I’ll blog Part 2 of the beautiful ports we stopped at, soon!
