There are a lot of families taking a fresh step into the wonderful world of camping since international travel is pretty much impossible to plan for right now. While the idea of driving out into the middle of nowhere and setting up a camp to embrace a touch of the wild seems awesome (to me at least), doing that with the family in tow might not be possible. To make camping approachable to more and to encourage everyone to get out and enjoy our lush environment and local scenery, here are the ...
Stocking Fillers and Gifts so awesome you cross out Santa’s name and write your own
There’s no way you’re letting the man in red take the credit for these toys, gifts, and fun 2020 distractions. It’s time to write ‘love from Santa’ on the toothbrush, Old Spice gift box, and the Satsuma orange already back in the fruit bowl. You get the credit for ...

Stop Stressing, We’re All Just Winging It
Spring Break is over, or so they tell me. As you know, we’ve drifted into some kind of range of days where vacation has ended but our kids are meant to be learning stuff. What, exactly I’m not sure. But something. As parents, we’re expected to do an awful lot, but in this ...
Learning to Ski on Cypress Mountain
I’ve always wanted to properly learn how to ski. The closest I ever got was going on a school trip to Austria but the slopes were icy, I was completely out of shape, and the bigger kids found it super funny to knock me over every chance they got. Skip 20 years (wow) and I’ve finally ...
Camping with a Toddler: 5 Things I Wish I’d Packed
Our car was ridiculously full. In fact, it was so full we had to leave our Ford Focus at home and borrow my sister in-law’s SUV. We packed everything we could possibly need. Tents, sleeping bags, air mattresses, a hammock, plenty of food including the ingredients for salads (who eats a ...
