Today, after nearly 3 1/2 years, I had my first day back in the classroom, only this time it was teaching 1 and 2 year olds! The best part? I have the sweetest little teacher’s assistant I ever did see. ☺

iPhoneography // Turtle Day at Bright Minds
Have I mentioned how much we love visiting Bright Minds each week? It’s something both Grae and I look forward to… She gets to see her little friends and play with all sorts of fun toys, I get to see my mama friends, and we get to do a fun project {or two} together.
Bright Minds’ Creative Play Area
One of the things I loved most about living in Vancouver with a toddler was how much there was to do. During our 2 years there, I never felt like I was grasping for things to do and see – not even during the dreary winters… On beautiful days we’d visit parks, hang out at the beach, and go for walks, and on rainy days we’d hang out at our favourite indoor spots (community centre play gyms, pools, libraries, and skating rinks, the conservatory, the airport observation area, 6 Pack Beach, Pottery Barn Kids, the Play Palace, UBC, Kokopeli, or Sweet Salt to name a few). On top of all of that, kids’ programs were plentiful and inexpensive, so we enjoyed many rounds of parent and tot swimming and ballet, and we were members at both the Vancouver Aquarium and Science World.
Having had it so good for so long, I was a teensy bit worried that our days in Kuwait would be dull in comparison. The truth is, parks and play areas and kids programs do exist here… it’s just that without talking to the right person, you may never find out about them {and once you do, they can be terribly expensive}. So, I decided to start my research early. We were actually still living in Vancouver when I first learned about Bright Minds Creative Learning Centre. It looked and sounded like the perfect place for us online, so I was excited for our first visit.
