Ancient Forest and Pickleball
Today was the last day for my Uncle being in town, so we wanted to take him to view one of the “things to see” near Prince George. The “thing to see” was the Ancient Forest (Chun T’oh Whudujut Provincial Park), and despite living in Prince George my entire life I had never been there.…

Mud Kitchen and Tattoo
We had a very very busy Saturday with Amelia and Cedric. It should have been a swimming lesson day, but I signed them up for the Mud Kitchen workshop hosted by the CCRR through the YMCA of Northern British Columbia (see end of blog for more CCRR). I was a bit worried looking at the weather over…

Dinos, Bad Batteries and Cabins
So I was supposed to be updating my site and Facebook page with the latest card options, but I was excited to be asked to make a dinosaur image for my old personal trainer’s son. She told me he loved velociraptors, tyrannosaurus rex and pterodactyls. I have a fairly extensive supply of dinosaur stock, and decided to…

Staycation – Woodhouse Cottages
There is a little treasure about 20 minutes away from Prince George called the Woodhouse Cottages and Ranch and they have an unique accommodation called the Bubble House. They also have three other cabins, but we went for the Bubble. The hospitality was spot on, and we were made to feel right at home the minute we got…

Home for a Week – toys and a staycation

Island Memories
We are having such a lovely time on Vancouver Island, it still feels like a home away from home despite me being absent from it for a few years. It warms my heart that my children will be able to experience many of the things that made the Island so great – from family to…

The Big Drive – Got Lost
We survived the drive to the Island! We decided to leave at 3am to maximize the time the kids would probably sleep. My son was game and fell back to sleep within 15 minutes; my daughter took close to an hour. I had intentions of sleep, but it was foggy and I decided to be…

Am I organized? No
How is it that we are suddenly 1.5 days out from our road trip down to Vancouver Island? At this point I had planned to have at least a list made of what to pack. I love to over pack; things just tend to creep in to suitcases and bags. This time around I need…

Dino’s!
We went to Jurassic Quest with my daughter this morning. Her little brother got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa. We were keeners, and had bought tickets for the first day during the first time slot. I’m glad we did because it is going to be a busy busy place on the weekend. We were…
