An Afternoon at LUSH

Jen — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 08:28:47 +0000

This afternoon, Gracen and I had the absolute pleasure of attending a launch event at the Robson Street location of Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. When we first got the invite, I was really excited for two reasons. First off, because I’ve been a longtime Lush fan and seeing, touching, and trying a brand new product… Read More

Egg Carton Button Sorting

Jen — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 04:45:55 +0000

Matching is HUGE in our house right now. Coordinating is simply not good enough for Miss G anymore. Everything. must. match. To the point where she will pick a treat (organic fruit leather) with a blue package while grocery shopping because she is wearing blue pants, cutting her carrots requires an orange knife, and wearing white… Read More

Remnants of a Messy Play Date

Jen — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:14:03 +0000

Gracen had a wonderful time with her friends at her birthday party and has talked about having friends over to play every day since. So with my little lady’s wishes tugging at my heartstrings and our beautiful Vancouver weather continuing into September, I decided to host our first ever {outdoor} messy play date. It’s… Read More

iPhoneography // Strong Start

Jen — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 06:55:08 +0000

After a particularly crazy registration day, filled with chaos, confusion, and papers carelessly strewn about the table and floor, I must admit I was a little nervous about our first day of Grae’s Strong Start Program today… The good news? Today was much calmer. The people were fewer, the atmosphere was friendlier, and there was plenty of fun… Read More

Sensory Jars for Toddlers

Jen — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:58:39 +0000

While Miss G and I have put together and enjoyed all kinds of sensory bins, we’ve never actually made sensory jars or bottles of any sort. Although I wasn’t sure that Grae would like them as much her usual sensory bins due to their more ‘hands off’ nature, I decided we’d whip up a few… Read More

Magnet Fishing

Jen — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 06:20:06 +0000

As we were playing with Gracen’s ever-growing magnet collection this morning, a little game we’ve not yet tried popped into mind… Magnet fishing! It was a breeze to set up. We gathered up a few materials we had around the house – a bowl, magnets, scissors, embroidery floss (any string would do), a large… Read More

Saturday Snapshots

Jen — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 06:20:52 +0000

After a quick torrential downpour and a whole family nap (amazing!) the sun decided to grace us with its presence. After a string of rainy days, we wasted no time heading out into the backyard to soak up a little dose of vitamin D. We gathered up some sidewalk chalk, bubbles, our cloud dough… Read More

Chocolate Playdough

Jen — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:09:03 +0000

Everybody loves play dough, but chocolate play dough?! Now that’s what I’m talking about. I actually meant to make this with Miss G over Easter weekend, but we were so busy hunting for eggs and spending our days outdoors, that we didn’t get around to it. So this morning we whipped out our ingredients and… Read More

Grae Time

Jen — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 04:52:31 +0000

One of Gracen’s new things is booting her babies out of their bassinet and claiming the space as her own (luckily it doesn’t really rock). Today she climbed in there with her cup of nuts, had a good 10 minutes of ‘Grae time’, and when she had polished off her entire snack, called me for… Read More

Spring Sunshine

Jen — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 03:49:01 +0000

We spent our morning in the house, and by the time the afternoon rolled around, we were more than ready to get out and enjoy the sunshine. We brought along some bubbles, some sidewalk chalk, and my camera and headed out into the front yard. Sometimes a little sunshine is just what you need.
