Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor anyone who has followed my posts here on ChickAdvisor over the years, you know I have had the unique opportunity to live in many places (which sounds a lot better than saying I'm geographically challenged even though that's probably closer to the truth).
I've lived in the Canadian prairies, the Canadian west coast, western Germany, southern Germany, back to the Canadian prairies,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI’ve been wrong a time or two in my life. Before this past weekend, the most notable of these occasions was during a 6th grade science quiz when I labeled part of the brain as the “cervix” and then argued about it with my teacher.

Why do we love “new car smell”? Because it’s the smell we associate before pets, before spilled drive-thru takeout, before a roadtrip with your bean-burrito-eating boyfriend.
Truth is, no one wants to travel long distances in a car that stinks. I don’t even want to go on a quick grocery run if I haven’t given my car a thorough mucking out (I have kids, remember? More...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas...or, Your Good Manners Will Make Me Automatically Like You (or at least, tolerate being around you)
In every way, the guy I married is a shining example of patience. And in every way, I am exactly the opposite. Things that barely make him blink make me curmudgeonly and cranky and out of sorts like a tall, blond Andy Rooney.
And one of those things that really gets my 'Rooney' going is bad...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSummer vacation may be coming to an end, but it’s not too late to take a spur of the moment trip. In the height of summer, Caribbean vacations are not at all hard to come by, but why not take the road less traveled on short notice (the vacation road less traveled often requires months of planning)? Head to Europe, Hollywood or Vegas and come back with some amazing stories to entertain friends...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDon’t get me wrong, I’m a hardcore Toronto Gal! However, sometimes, I do find myself drawn to history, tradition and of course poutine of Quebec or the easy going beach bums and mild weather native to Vancouver Island. This summer, I urge you to travel across Canada. You'll be surprised at how varied the culture is from province to province. Discover a whole new way of living on the other...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basRemember when you were in elementary school and summer vacation was the best thing ever? The notion of a summer "vacation" never really leaves us. Whether it's camping, or a road-trip, or a day at the beach, it only seems right to take some time off to enjoy the beautiful weather. But if your ultimate summer vacation involves a little plane travel, it's smart to do a little research first...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe Plan: a family meet-up in Chicago, starting with a fun and educational road trip through the wilds of America.
The Result: We did meet family in Chicago, and we did drive there (though there are several rest stops on the I-65 to which we probably should never return).
I had this plan to combine a family vacation with some style spying in the Windy City. Chicago's midwestern locale...

Fear not! We have everything you need for a fabulous camping, scratch that, glamping trip.
