Last weekend, my girls and I ventured out and discovered a new candy store in Sarnia.\u00a0 AMAZING experience.\u00a0 Lots of fun sweet treats at Sweet Life Candy and Pop Shop.\u00a0This little candy shop has an incredible variety of sweets from all over the world, and some old favourites that have been discontinued in Canada.\u00a0 Old favourites.\u00a0 Tahiti Treat.\u00a0 Fun Dip.\u00a0 Bottle caps?\u00a0 Anybody else remember those? You will find them on Christina Street in Sarnia.<\/p>\n
Family Day we took our puppy on a walking adventure, going to the Dow Wetlands for the very first time.\u00a0 Yes, it was a little slushy from all the winter weather, but it was a beautiful little escape for an afternoon.<\/p>\n
Finding those little places that you haven’t tried or seen or experienced can feel like you are a tourist in your own community.\u00a0 Venture out this weekend and try something new!\u00a0 Let us know what you do!<\/p>\n
