Camping on the Go: The Art of One-Night Stays We frequently have trouble deciding where to go for the weekend camping trip. We have so many options within our ideal 3-4 hour radius, it’s hard to focus on just ONE place for the weekend. So a couple weekends ago, we decided to take the…
Get Outdoors: Camping in Tete Jaune Cache
We did it again. We hooked up our RV and took it into the great wild yonder – this time about 3 hours west to Tete Jaune Cache, BC. We were pleasantly surprised to get off the TransCanada highway and be at our campground within about 3 minutes. The river views from the Tete Jaune…
Mini-Adventure: Spontaneous Spray Park Visit
The last few weeks have been tough. Living away from my children makes me miss them everyday. So right now, I live for weekends. On the weekends, there’s nothing else I have to do but play. The weather has turned gorgeous with those hot summer days that we fantasize about all cold winter long. Our…

Starting from a run bike (aka balance bike), there simply wasn’t a need to. We allowed them both of our kids to find their balance at…
A Visit to Edmonton Ice Castle
A Visit to Edmonton Ice Castle Although winter seems like a season to curl up & nurse a hot chocolate by the fire, there are many interesting adventures to be had in the snow. Our family drove the short distance recently to the Edmonton Ice Castle. The kids were convinced we would be able to…
Snow Volcanoes
It’s not quite spring here yet. I find myself a little jealous of British Columbia weather where it seems like things are blooming and the grass is oh-so green. In the meantime though, we are savouring the last bit of snow with a few outdoor activities. With new fallen snow, the pure white of the…

10 Zucchini Recipes To Make
About Zucchini I really love zucchini. If you can get these heat loving crops growing, they will keep giving and giving zucchini to the point where you will give away ones because you can’t keep up with eating them as fast as they are growing. Until you break off a fruit, they will continue to…
