VICF

One of my favourite fieldtrips with my students every year is to the Vancouver International Children's Festival.  As a French Immersion teacher, the VICF is perfect because of the FrancoFun day which offers activities and performances in French! I have yet to take my own children to the VICF, but we plan on going this year for the first time! I'm really looking forward to it, especially since I have not been since it's been on Granville Island! "A world-renowned festival of performing arts for young audiences, the Vancouver International Children's Festival has been educating, entertaining and inspiring young audiences since 1978." I am excited to have the opportunity of giving away a Family 4-Pack of passes to the World of Art in the Children's Festival's Activity Zone.  There are … [Continue reading...]

We have all been down the ‘big decision’ road.  We all know those sleepless nights where the pro’s and con’s list dances through our head leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted.  These decisions pop up often in our lives and we keep our fingers crossed that what we decide in the end will be the right [...]

A couple of weeks ago Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. hosted a bunch of us bloggers and our kidlets for a morning of cooking fun.  I was especially excited about this opportunity, because cooking with Portia is something I don’t do a lot of and I knew she would love it!

My morning started with back-to-back face and foot reflexology treatments, compliments of Kalyana, followed by being treated to high noon tea at C.C Violin Patisserie and Café. Admittedly, I have a mild obsession with foot rubs. I have friends who don’t like [...]
