An Afternoon Along the River

Jen — Fri, 26 May 2017 04:42:41 +0000

The weather is just too good to go straight home after school these days… It was an unusually long and cold winter here in Vancouver and all I want to do now is be outside and soak up the sunshine. Not to mention the fact that both of our kiddos are happiest when outdoors. … Read More

Sunday by the River

Jen — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 06:20:18 +0000

Pink eye… Gosh, it sucks. I’ve never had it myself {touch wood!}, but after Miss G brought it home from Kindergarten last Friday and spent our Father’s Day / Victoria weekend with it, this Friday, Brad came down with it too {ugh}. And since we’re pretty much desperate to have Sam avoid it {and Miss… Read More

Steveston, Pajo’s, & A First

Jen — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 21:32:18 +0000

If there’s one thing we’ve been doing more of this month, it’s definitely eating out. Normally, we eat out very rarely, but with our days filled with packing, sorting, organizing, and keeping little hands busy so they’re not digging in already packed boxes, we’ve been giving ourselves a break lately and eating some of our… Read More

Canada Day {2013}

Jen — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:12:24 +0000

While we spent Gracen’s first two Canada Days in the Okanagan at the lovely Davison Orchards, today was our first Canada Day in Vancouver as a family of 3. As usual, there is tons of fun, family-friendly stuff happening around our vibrant city, but we decided to spend the day at one of our favourites… Read More

Second Beach Outdoor Pool

Jen — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 03:34:50 +0000

Gracen has been very anxiously awaiting this day since we first visited the Second Beach playground back in February. From the opposite side of the park, she immediately spotted the seal-shaped water slide in the outdoor pool enclosure and has asked when we’d be able to visit ever since. Sadly, when it opened at the… Read More

UBC Gymnastics Drop-In

Jen — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 06:52:23 +0000

The upside to a very rainy June is that we’re crossing things off of our rainy day idea list that I thought we wouldn’t get to do before leaving Vancouver in July. Today, we headed out to UBC to do something we’ve been meaning to do for a long while – attend a drop-in gymnastics… Read More

“Pickle Village”

Jen — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 07:26:17 +0000

This morning we woke to a chilly, grey day and decided to get outside and enjoy the change in temperature. Miss G happily took the opportunity to wear her favourite {giant} purple toque and we headed down to Olympic Village (a.k.a. “Pickle Village”) to explore. We definitely don’t spend as much time in the village… Read More

Kerrisdale Play Palace is Back!

Jen — Wed, 15 May 2013 06:32:22 +0000

One of our very favourite rainy day spots, the Kerrisdale Play Palace, recently opened for another spring/summer season. It seems to be a bit of a hidden gem because although it does get busy, it never seems busy enough for what it is – a very reasonably priced GIANT indoor play space filled with fun… Read More

Kid-Friendly Lunch at Corduroy

Jen — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:07:28 +0000

There’s no doubt that I’m a huge fan of kid-friendly cafés and restaurants. And though a great kid’s menu is a good start, in my opinion, a kid’s play corner of some sort sets a restaurant apart from the rest when it comes to family-friendliness. Needless to say, when I heard that Corduroy, a… Read More
