Somehow it took us a day and a half to get to Philly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the main reasons we chose to go to Philly and New York is because it would be easy to get there from our home in Vancouver. We can fly direct to Newark in about five hours, we don’t have to rent a car and we don’t have to deal with terrible jet lag.But somehow that five-hour flight turned into a day and a half of travel. We spent all of Monday, while C was at daycare, prepping for our trip. We cleaned the house, dropped our dog off at my mom’s, took out the garbage and recycling, and pack
We took Grandma to a rave (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past weekend we took my mom to a rave. We also brought our toddler.But before you mistakenly think we’re Cool Parents, let me specify that this was a Baby Rave (which maybe makes us even cooler parents?).The Vancouver Fringe Festival hosted a free Baby Rave on Granville Island where little ones and their adults could bop around for an hour. There was a DJ, snacks, multiple bubble machines and a performer on stilts! Needless to say, our music-obsessed toddler had a great time. C was grooving
3 travel bloggers walk into a coffee shop... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a travel blogger who works from home and by myself, I don’t have many opportunities to catch up with colleagues on a coffee break.But last week, I got to do just that when I met up with two fellow Vancouver-based bloggers - shout out to Brooke of Roamscapes and of Postcards & Places - for a chat over coffee and tea. It was so nice to meet Brooke and Melanie, and move our conversation out of the group chat and into a coffee shop. But it was especially nice to connect with people who understand
We took our toddler to a WNBA game and barely sat down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not sure who did more running at the Toronto Tempo WNBA game in Vancouver, the players or my toddler.Trick question! The answer is my husband, Colin, who spent at least a third of the game chasing our daughter, C, around the concourse and up and down the stairs. Despite not spending the whole game in our seats, we had a blast at our family’s first WNBA game. Vancouver doesn’t have its own WNBA or NBA team, but as someone who grew up in Toronto playing middle school basketball with a dad who’
We forgot swimsuits, so one toddler wore a tote bag (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when you let two toddlers run around a park fountain, absolutely soaking their clothes, because you forgot to pack swimsuits? One of them - our daughter, C - gets to change into the backup romper we keep in her diaper bag. And the other - our friend’s son, N - makes do with C’s purple leggings and a tote bag fashioned into a t-shirt! Needless to say, we had a lot of fun when our friends Kim, Joe and their son, N, came out from Toronto for a visit. They were only in Vancouver for the
