Quick reminder for the week [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Do you ever have one of those weeks where things just don't seem to click? That’s me right now. I mean overall life is pretty okay but dang. Our fridge is on its last legs. It literally hurts my face to go outside, it's so cold right now. And I have no idea how to help the kid with this newfangled math.

With so much going on I feel like I'm constantly dropping the ball & forgetting some important things.

But one thing that I did do right?

Find cheap flights for our next family trip.

And in case you need help remembering how to find cheaper flights for your family vacations, here’s the one tip I wanna share this week:

🚀 Use google flights

Google flights is where I always start my search, even before 100% deciding on when & where we want to go. As a DIY family travel planner, it's an incredibly useful tool, with some cool features.

Which is why I wrote this step by step guide on how to use google flights to find cheaper flights here

Hope that helps.

I know many people are visual learners, and I was thinking of making a quick walk through video on how to use google flights to find cheaper airline tickets. I thought I'd do a quick poll to see if there's any interest in that, before investing my time.

Could you do me a favour and hit reply with either a YES or a NO. I would greatly appreciate it.

Awaiting your reply…

Hey Reader, TGIF! Happy Friday. I'm heading to the ice castle this weekend with Miss S. She has requested we play hide and seek in the tunnels... Which may or may not happen depending on how small they are (and if I can handle crawling around on my hands & knees for more than 5 minutes). Following up on my Mastering Google Flights: Secrets to Snagging Cheap Airfare post a couple of weeks ago, there were quite a few of you who were interested in a video walk through. So here you go: ✈️ Quick...

Hey Reader, How was your weekend? Ours was pretty fun, as there was a Malanka celebration for Ukranian New Years. And while we aren't Ukranian (our ancestors are from England, Norway & China), my daughter is in Ukranian dance. There's a very welcoming community here in Yellowknife, Canada & she has friends in it that got her excited to try. We feasted on tasty foods, watched kids dance performances, and danced to the dj afterwards. POLL RESULTS So the moment I know you've all been waiting...

Hey Reader, Happy New Year! Just getting back into the swing of things. We've hit a cold snap here, after a super mild December - We're now at Extreme Cold Warnings (-40C / -40F before windchill).

Click your choice below. a) Book a beach vacation immediately b) Hide under the covers with a good book...
