While Brad isn’t the type to whip up something crafty with the kids for Mother’s Day, writing for CBC Parents means that Miss G and I often get to create fun gift ideas to share on their site and of course – I directly benefit. ;) In the past we’ve made an ‘I love you’… Read More

This summer, just before we left Vancouver for good, we were lucky enough to sneak in a birthday party for one of Miss G’s special little friends.

Inventing Kit for Kids

Jen — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 06:25:32 +0000

Last fall, Miss G went through a huge ‘inventing’ stage. She loved nothing more than putting random bits and bobs together to create these elaborate structures and objects… It was SO cool to watch her imagination come to life. Since she was constantly rifling through our craft drawers and recycling bins to find what she… Read More

My gosh… I can’t even believe that it’s already almost June. {I feel like I say it constantly, but honestly – I just don’t know where the time goes these days.} Of course June means Father’s Day, so my little miss and I have been brainstorming ways to spoil her papa this year. I don’t… Read More

After travelling all over the world with Miss G {hello 36 hour treks to and from Kuwait!}, a six hour road trip really isn’t a big deal to us. That being said, our little lady is a huuuuuuuuuuge talker, and sometimes you just need to have a moment of quiet {or a moment to talk to… Read More
