What I Packed for a Family Trip to the Beach

Posted by admin on

We just got back from our first family trip to the beach and I wanted put together a quick list of what we packed. I know many of you had questions on packing for littles, so hopefully this is helps. Our families have spent many summers traveling to 30A, but this is the first time Austin and I have been with the boys. It was so sweet to see them at the beach and it was a great week full of family memories. But, we are definitely exhausted. I was a little anxious about the trip since there were a...

10 Rainy Day Things to do in Vancouver with Kids

Posted by admin on

We were warned that November was the beginning of the rainy season in Vancouver, but circumstances aligned to make it an ideal time for us to visit. We needed to use an Air Canada credit by the end of the year, Hannah had a four-day weekend from school, and Glenn was spending most of the fall on the West Coast for business anyway.

Easter is an interesting holiday for us, we have adopted blended traditions many rooted in respect for our ancestors including celebrating aspects of Passover.

Easter Basket Fillers for Littles

Posted by admin on

My sister requested this post so here you go, Lauren! But hopefully it’s helpful for lots of you out there. I love filling an Easter basket with little goodies (in addition to chocolate and jelly beans, of course). We use these baskets with gingham liners for the kids with their names on them. This list of gifts is obviously for younger kids and toddlers because that’s what I know! I generally like to throw in one book, one thing to wear (hat, socks, etc), one practical item (water bottle, Bandaids), and one other gift (like a Slinky or silk ribbon...
