Alcohol to be served on party bikes in Ontario
The Doug Ford government is continuing to expand the accessibility to alcohol across Ontario by allowing party bikes, or 'pedal pubs' to serve booze or have it consumed on board. These types of operators are businesses that tour groups around notable areas on large, shared quadricycles, visiting local restaurants, breweries, wineries, cideries and other businesses. The province says this change would apply to pedal pub operators in Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Windsor beginning July 1. Prior to the change, these party bikes would only transport tourist groups to various vendors and producers. Ottawa currently has one party bike operator, the Thursty Pedaler, which operates pub crawl and coffee shop tours in the Glebe and Hintonburg neighbourhoods. 'Explore some of the best bars, restaurants, and patios Ottawa has to offer. Pedal your way through one of two vibrant Ottawa neighborhoods, refueling along the way at three local watering holes,' the Thursty Pedaler says on its website. 'The tour is 2 hours and includes a designated party pilot, a curated party playlist, samples at our awesome partner locations, and an all-around party-pedaling great time. Each tour hosts up to 14 people.' 'Pedal pubs offer a fun and memorable way to explore Ontario's communities, and we're making sure that experience is responsible,' said Attorney General Doug Downey, in a statement. 'Beginning this summer, Ontario is supporting a unique opportunity that will not only stimulate tourism and bring communities together, but also protect local jobs, our economy and small businesses across the province.' Pedal pubs are allowed to operate in a community only once the local municipality passes a by-law to permit their operations. A licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) will be required to sell and serve alcohol on pedal pubs.

Grownsy Unveils Exclusive PD Deal on 4 Must-Have Tools for the Modern Parent
Starting June 28, Grownsy is kicking off a limited-time PD deal on featuring the Parenting Innovation Kit, a set of four practical baby care tools designed to make feeding, cleaning, and everyday parenting simpler and less stressful. NEW YORK - Starting June 28, Grownsy is rolling out a limited-time PD promotion on that's worth a look. The spotlight? A bundle called the Parenting Innovation Kit. It brings together four of Grownsy's most-loved tools into one deal that's designed to make feeding, cleaning, and baby care easier, faster, and way less frustrating. For new parents, especially those figuring it out as they go, baby gear can feel like a black hole of conflicting advice and impulse buys. You start with a checklist and end up with a cabinet full of 'just in case' items. In fact, studies show that nearly one in three baby-related purchases end up as regrets. Grownsy wants to change that by focusing on what actually gets used. Instead of overloading you with options, this kit includes four products that solve everyday problems, nothing more, nothing less. It's smart parenting made simple. What's Included in the Kit Each product in the Parenting Innovation Kit is designed to make daily routines smoother, whether you're cleaning bottles, warming milk, or helping your baby breathe easier. Baby Bottle Washer: Cleaner, Sterilizer and Dryer If you've ever stood over the sink scrubbing bottles while your baby's crying in the background, this one's a total lifesaver. Grownsy's Bottle Washer uses high-powered spray jets and a heat-dry cycle to clean and sanitize bottles with the push of a button. It's quiet, compact, and built for hands-free parenting. Some parents even say, 'call me lazy,' but once you've used it, you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner. 10-in-1 Fast Baby Bottle Warmer with Night Light This multitasking warmer handles more than just bottles. It also defrosts food, sterilizes small items, and heats evenly with zero hassle. It fits two bottles at once, has a clear digital display, and delivers consistent results. It's the kind of tool that turns everyday chaos into effortless parenting and is often described as worth every penny. Parent's Choice Bottle Warmer with Timer This newer model lifts the bottle when it's ready, so you're not stuck hovering and second-guessing the temperature. The built-in nightlight helps with overnight feeds, and one-touch controls keep things simple. It's a favorite among parents who want to feel like a parenting pro even when they're running on little sleep. Adjustable Suction Nasal Aspirator with 3 Soft Tips Designed to help manage nasal congestion in infants and young children, this aspirator features three adjustable suction levels and soft silicone tips for gentle use. It offers hospital-grade suction strength in a compact, rechargeable device that operates quietly—making it suitable for use even during nighttime care. The components are easy to clean, and the design aims to support both new and experienced caregivers in everyday routines. Why this Kit Makes Sense Instead of offering a random mix of discounted products, Grownsy kept things focused. Each item in the Parenting Innovation Kit was chosen because it solves a common parenting problem. These aren't gadgets that end up forgotten in a drawer. They're tools that fit into your daily routine without adding more noise or clutter. If you're building your baby registry, replacing older gear, or just trying to avoid buying the wrong thing again, this kit keeps things simple. You don't need ten products that kind of work, you need a few that work really well. It's also a relief for parents who are tired of trial and error. You don't have to read a dozen comparison posts or wonder which version is better. Grownsy already did the editing for you. Who It's Really For This kit is especially helpful for first-time parents, but experienced caregivers will appreciate it too. If you like smart design, simple interfaces, and tools that won't let you down at 2 a.m., you'll probably find something here that clicks. It's great for: Parents who want to avoid overbuying Families who value compact, multi-use gear Anyone who's short on time and wants to skip the learning curve People who care more about function than frills It's also the kind of bundle you might want to gift. If you know someone expecting their first baby, this is one of those 'I wish I had this' kits that make a real difference. Ready to Make Parenting Easier?
