From the Mak Family... Last week, we explored the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto! We enjoyed a range of exhibits, from older, European sculptures and paintings to modern art and interactive installations. Then we wandered along Dundas to get yummy noodles for lunch and dessert from a local bakery. The thing is, my wife graduated from Fashion Design while I graduated from Engineering....

From the Mak Family... We're always looking for interesting things to do as a family, so this month we went to the Bata Shoe Museum because it's been open for decades and I've never actually been there. NTM, my son, asked "Why can't we just drive there?' Well, first of all, driving will be slow since the Gardiner is down to two lanes in both directions for the foreseeable future. But also the...
From the Mak Family... When our son, NTM, was younger, we allowed him to ride one of those kiddie go-karts which was very slow but very safe! The track was a simple oval and he couldn't go to the big-boy karts because he wasn't old enough nor tall enough. Fast forward a few years, and we felt that NTM was mature enough to ride the adult go-karts. This is a picture of his first experience with...
From the Mak Family... Recently, my son, NTM, has been asking us about savings and stocks to build wealth. At age 12, I feel active income is more important than passive income and investing into building his own skills and experiences would get better long-term results. Still, I don't want this opportunity to go to waste, so I went to Dollarama and bought a piggy bank for him to save his...
From the Mak Family... There are so many great parks and places to hike around the GTA. Last month, we visited the Lions Valley Park in Oakville. (It's located near Neyagawa and Dundas) The park has a really fun trail along the Sixteen Mile Creek. You can walk under the large overpass and there's even a kid's playground! We're happy that it's getting warmer and we are excited to finally enjoy...

From the Mak Family... Once in a while, we like to take grandma out to see NTM. They both love Chicken Nuggets and fries, so it's a great match. If you're wondering, she's a healthy 98 and still up and about! We're looking to celebrating her big 100 sometime in 2025! .stk-a894854{margin-bottom:0px !important} FREE Tickets to the Home Show!

From the Mak Family... The Holidays were a time when we could relax a bit and enjoy time with friends and family. We had planned a ski trip over the break, but the 10-degree weather cancelled those plans. Fortunately, we live nearby to Jack Darling Park and the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area in South Mississauga. In between NTM playing video games, we were able to walk the boardwalk and skip...

From the Mak Family... Last month, we had the amazing opportunity to go on a one-way, cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii. It was a great deal because many days were at-sea, but we still found ways to have fun and eat lots of food! Our favourite excursion was at the Kualoa Ranch, where they filmed tons of movies like Jurassic Park. We rented a UTV (like a jeep) and were able to drive around the...
