When the weather starts to warm up and spring is in the air, I also am reminded that my two kids will be having their birthdays. Our family does not give presents during the year but we love giving presents at birthdays. We try to be really thoughtful about the gift so that they will…
The first time I really saw my husband interact with kids was shortly after we got married. He was helping a little girl with a disability learn to walk. He was so unbelievably patient and kind. I knew then that he would for sure be a great dad. So… in honour of this great dad,…
I am so excited! I finally am sharing some of our favourite family adventure vacations that we discovered on our 3-month van trip. Our kids may have been little at age 3 and 5 but they still mention the people they met and the areas we explored. It seems surreal that we discovered such incredible…
