I did something revolutionary.

I went to Glow Spa Kingston by myself. 🤗

It was so wonderful that this is how my brain has decided to remember it. A little dreamy, a little out of order, like I was already dreaming of the second time around (btw: I slept amazing that night!) 👍

👌I am SO glad I spent a few glorious hours at Glow Spa Kingston enjoying their signature Thermotherapy Circuit, moving between the sauna, steam room, hot tub and cold plunge at my own pace. I read my book, had a little snack (an amazing OG Açai Bowl from Heal Wellness). I wandered around in a cozy robe and had nowhere I needed to be.

🤫There was something so lovely about being able to slow down and notice all the little details; the beautiful space, the thoughtful touches, the robe, the hand cream from Branch & Vine. I throughly enjoyed the experience.

For a mom and teacher who is usually needed approximately every 47 seconds, a few quiet hours to myself felt absolutely magical.

I’m already looking forward to going back.
Who wants to come with me next time so we can enjoy the silence together? 🙋‍♀️

P.S. thank you to Colleen, Rachel and the team at Glow for having me. 🙏😘

Kids may race into the Swyrich Train Room for the trains.

❗️Win a Family Pass to the PumpHouse Museum!
If you’re looking for a fun indoor activity with the kids, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!

🐝We spent the afternoon exploring BEES! at the @kingstonpumphouse Museum in Kingston, and my boys were busy from the moment they walked in. They grabbed their scavenger hunts and got to work investigating the exhibit, where they could search, touch, play, dress up, dance and colour their way through a whole world of bees and pollinators.

Then we made our way through the Swyrich Train Room (always a favourite!) and spent some time in the Discovery Centre, where kids can build, experiment, problem-solve and get hands-on with STEM activities. My boys are 5 and 7, but there’s something here for younger kids and older kids too, with different ways to learn and play depending on their age.

🏃BEES! is at the PumpHouse Museum until October 31, 2026.
