We all have 5 year old daughters who are obsessed with unicorns and farm animals…. Right? Because I do. Anna is smitten about all things related to farm animals and unicorns. She wants to be a pig farmer when she grows up. As such, my mother booked her in for a horse experience at Discovery Equine […]
Mann Farms – Worth It?
This past week we spent in the Lower Mainland, visiting family and canning pickles. I always love escaping Northern BC because there’s so much more to do in the Vancouver area. We don’t have farms, or play centres, or other fun things in the North. We just have outdoor playgrounds. We decided to go to […]
The Powerhouse at Stave Falls with Toddlers
Take two toddlers to Staves Fall Powerhouse, she said. It’ll be fun, she said. sigh. I love historical sites and heritage buildings, but doing ANYTHING with two toddlers is exhausting. They both enjoy going in opposite directions, doing different things, and being absolutely needy in their own rights. Visiting heritage sites with toddlers is totally doable, but the experience […]
A Toddler-Friendly Weekend in Vancouver
I’m just getting back from a whirlwind trip to Vancouver, BC. I say whirlwind because any solo-travel adventure with two young kids is a tornado of an event. My kids are very busy and both quite active. While my youngest (one-year-old) likes to do everything her older brother does (2.5 years old), she likes to do it […]
Exploring Hazelton, BC
Of all the places in BC, I never imagined writing a post on the Hazeltons. And yes, that is supposed to be pluralised because there is both New Hazelton and Old Hazelton (and a few more communities). Cozied in at the junction of the Skeena and the Bulkley River, New & Old Hazelton is a […]
Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Prince George, BC
As you might know, from Instagram, I’ve gutted my kitchen and living precariously on the brink of exhaustion from a kitchen renovation project. Right now, in the moment, I wish we just bought a new house. I’ll be the first to own the fact I wasn’t all that savvy with the food situation in the renovation […]
Things to do in Jasper with Kids [A Toddler and NO CAR]
Spending the day in Jasper without a vehicle is a little different compared to other adventures to this beautiful Canadian National Park. In the past, we’ve jumped in the car and done all the typical “things to do in Jasper.” We’ve driven to the Icefields or checked out Pyramid Lake or some of the other […]
Tips for Train Travel with Toddlers: Prince George to Jasper on the VIA Rail
It might be surprising to you to think my husband would willingly want to take the train recreationally. I know its surprising to me. Sometimes, the last thing you want to do in your spare time is to do the something you do for work. But, here we are a family of 4, with two […]
10 things to do in Prince Rupert with Kids
Early in September, we hit the road from Prince George to Prince Rupert for a late summer getaway to the coast. I’ve always been a huge fan of the ocean, I mean who isn’t? This was the first time I’ve gone with kids, and it didn’t disappoint. If you’re thinking of visiting Prince Rupert this […]
Exploring The Nass Valley
Earlier this month, I shared an amazing part of our trip to the Northwest Coast in exploring the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Beds. But if you get a chance to be out there, keep driving, because there is so much more to see and experience in the Nass Valley. While sparsely populated, this region is full […]
