Movie Adventures & Family Flick Favourites
I am more than a bit under the weather today, reluctantly submitting to at least a few days of bed rest as while the tiny person in my belly seems to be A-OK, my body is struggling a bit through this part of pregnancy.
Being mostly couch bound is not really my speed. But, when the [...]
A Home Museum with Shadow Boxes
Zoology, Botany and Forestry aren’t exactly in the vocabulary of the under-5 set.
Yet, every time we hit the beach, the garden or the trail, science is following us around.
Each pine cone or shell tucked in a tiny pocket reveals something significant about a place we’ve explored. (Yes, OK, I am total science nerd.)
And I’m pretty [...]
Hit North Vancouver Island Museums
So, the tiny person and I hit the opening day of the Spring Break Hands-On Farm yesterday. It’s most definitely a scaled-down version of the Summer farm. But, it was totally great to see our daughter getting into hanging out with the bunnies and guinea pigs inside, and getting the chance to feed the donkey [...]

If you drive up and down the east coast of Vancouver Island, a beach of this ilk is hard to find.
From the facilities right down to the seemingly endless stretch of barefoot-loving sand, Miracle Beach Provincial Park lives up to its moniker.
Right off the Old Island Highway, in [...]
Summer School – Apparently, Museums Rule
I am, indeed, so incredibly shocked to learn over the last two weeks what a 2-, 5- and 7-year old mutually love.
Not much, let me tell you…except for, believe it or not, museums.
One of the greatest challenges of keeping divergent age groups plugged in is how to manage everybody when the at-home standards like books, [...]
Spring Break – The Courtenay Museum
I know, I know.
Every parent really wonders if taking their kids to a museum is worth the pile of gift store goo at the end of what generally lasts a whopping hour.
