Hope all my clients have a great summer and save some money with some adventures using my frugal tips and tricks.
My wonderful friend Jen worked hard to create the biggest Durham Region Interactive Map Site of all the Parks, Splash Pads, Park Features, Shade, Bathrooms, and Accessibility Needs for Durham Region. This is an amazing resource for anyone who loves the outdoors with kids. We had fun with our kids discovering them all to share with everyone and she keeps being amazing 💜 Thanks Jen.
