When January came to an end, it dawned on me that I had zero plans for March break. Between running my business and planning the renovation of our master bedroom, I totally forgot about planning our usual March break trip. Though this is not the first time we stayed home during a major school break, things are bit different now that the kids are older.
They want to visit a lot of places, see a lot of things and eat plenty of food. Experiences are important to us; it’s great to see kids being able to not just randomly want things but define their new experiences as a function of everyday life activities. Besides the lifelong memories, this helps them understand the world better and hopefully will set them up for their own great adventures in the future. As much as I was having FOMO while scrolling through vacation photos on Instagram, our March break staycation ended up being an excellent one. Toronto has so much to offer when it comes to activities.
We took a trip to a museum, spent a day at the pool, and discovered some new book series for the kids at the library. At home, we did plenty of DIY work, watched plenty of movies and added a dose of board games pretty much every night. With so many activities, my usual cooking schedule went out of the window. Lucky for us,
SkiptheDishes is a delivery service that brings together customers and the over 15,000 restaurant options in one place. It allows restaurants who do not have their own delivery service to access more customers and customers to access loads of restaurants. It’s super easy to use – go ahead and register after you download the app or visit their website. You can then start ordering food from tons of local restaurants, including all of your family favorites. Easy right?
We looked at restaurant menus together as a family so everyone could choose what they wanted. It was tough to narrow down our picks because there were so many tasty-looking options in our area, but the kids wanted to feel like they were in Japan, so we ordered sushi. SkiptheDishes sent us confirmation and let us know when to expect our meal. To make things even more efficient, we were able to follow our driver on the map from the time he picked up our food at the restaurant to the time he got to our door
I have ordered from SkiptheDishes many times before and here are three things I love about the service:
.*I love that the payment (meal + driver tips) gets handled on your phone, so there is no money exchange on your doorstep.
*Unlike many food delivery services, you have the option to choose whether you would like to pick up or have your food delivered.
*Last but not least, it tracks your order history and gives you the option to reorder the same meals with a click of a button, that’s just amazing.
This app is not only great for busy families like mine but also travellers. I remember the days when I travelled to a different city and always had to ask the concierge for restaurants in the area. Now, with a click of a button and your location, you can find them in seconds. I am going to assume that you are a SkiptheDishes user but if you are not you might want to download the app because I am giving away a $200 voucher on my Instagram this – check it out, contest ends March 25 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
