We’ve enjoyed camping at Cultus Lake twice this year (for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ironically!). This provincial park about an hour out of Vancouver offers a variety of things to do, including some great hikes. Whether you’re camping at Cultus Lake or just driving up from Vancouver for the day, your family will have […]
Cultus Lake Waterpark is a splashing good time for the whole family!
On hot summer days when I was growing up, my mom would take us to the lake. These days, I’m the one looking for a place to cool off when the temperatures get over 25* C. Around Vancouver, one of the coolest places for hot summer days is Cultus Lake Waterpark! BC’s biggest waterpark offers […]
See the Science Behind Pixar at Telus World of Science!
Say “Pixar” and you’ll probably find us at the movie theatre. We’ve seen every Pixar movie every made and own most of them too. So when I saw a poster with a huge Sully on it hanging from the side of the Telus World of Science, I was interested. Did we want to take a […]
Explore Jericho Beach & the Old Hastings Mill Store Museum
When we were invited for brunch at the Blenheim Pub, I thought it would be a great opportunity to explore Kitsilano. We’ve heard great things about the beach there since moving to Vancouver. However, waking up to a rainy Sunday morning quickly changed our plans. As we drove across town to the Blenheim, I began […]
Go for a Family Brunch at the Blenheim Pub in Kitsilano! {review}
Dining out with kids can be difficult. Family restaurants often lack the menu selection or vibes that we look for when eating out, but pubs and other nice restaurants aren’t kid-friendly. So I was very excited to hear about the Blenheim, a family-friendly pub in Kitsilano. This German-style eating house has a kids’ play area […]

This popular recreation destination is located just an hour and a half east of Vancouver and offers hiking, boating, beach and picnic areas, camping, and more. Our home for two nights was Delta Grove Campground, located halfway down Cultus […]
From the Bottom Up Foundation seeks to help low-income families in Vancouver with diapers
When we think about getting ready for a new baby, most of us think about big things like car seats and strollers, or cute things like booties and blankets. Yet one of the biggest expenses that comes with a new baby is diapers. And keeping a baby in diapers can be a big struggle for […]
Sportball offers fun kids sports classes!
Thumps and shrieks are the sounds of fun at Sportball. Balls bounce, children run, whistles shrill. Lily had a blast trying out a Sportball demo class last weekend and can’t wait for her upcoming Sportball summer camp. If you have an energetic child who’d enjoy taking kids sports classes, read on for more about what […]
6 Reasons Why Children Should Take Theatre Classes
Summer camps are a great way for your child to pick up some extracurricular activities. When I’m considering possible summer camps for my daughters, I always look at what they’ll get out of the camp. Sure, I want them to have fun during the summer, but I also want them to learn some life skills. […]
Bounce into a SkyZone Birthday Party!
When I thought about where to hold Jade’s fifth birthday party, I knew the perfect place for her: SkyZone. Jade loves bouncing and was very sad that we had to give away our trampoline when we moved to our condo. Every once in a while, we take her and her sisters to SkyZone to bounce […]
