NOVEMBER FREE & CHEAP EVENTS (November 7- November 9) | Entertain Kids on a Dime

Welcome to November, or shall I say MOVEMBER. This month, you will see a lot of males sporting a mustache in order to support Men’s Health. I hope this organization raises a lot of money and awareness for different areas of Men`s health (Cancer and Mental Illness).

I hope everyone enjoyed last weekend. We are still recovering from our Halloween candy overload. I made my kids donate their candy to a local dental office. The office donated it to a Children’s Charity. My 4 year old daughter was not happy to let go of her sugar stash, but she will one day understand what a good deed she did.
Toronto is very busy with events this weekend. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hotel For Dogs Directed by: Thor Freudenthal Cast: Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin, Lisa Kudrow

Plot: Hotel For Dogs is a funny, heartwarming and inspiring animal adventure that shows how far love and imagination can take you. When 16-year old, Andi (Roberts), and her younger brother Bruce (Austin) find themselves in a foster home with a strict no pets policy, they must use their quick wit to find a new home for their dog, Friday. When they stumble into an abandoned hotel, they realize they can transform it into the perfect place for Friday- as well as all the strays in the city.
