walking on travels

Britain’s capital city is filled with a million and one things to see, do, and taste. Where do you even begin to start planning a trip with your children? There are so many choices. We’ve found a few highlights that both parents AND kids can enjoy as you explore the sprawling city of London.  Play [...]

I hate guessing what someone might love for the holidays. I want to know exactly what will rock their world. Not an easy task, but one I try for each and every year. Travelers are no different from crafters, bakers or bike enthusiasts. Whether they are toddlers, teens, single or married, everyone has a little [...]

“Look Dek. Chickens!” Slowly I make my way down the shady, winding drive. I pass a chicken crossing sign and  touch down on the brakes a little more. Incidents involving poultry were not on my agenda that day. Dek giggles with glee. He points out every chicken (and crow) we see before parking. He can’t [...]

I am always on the hunt for kid’s clothes, toys and gear. With a growing toddler and a new baby boy in the house we go through clothes rather quickly. Birthday parties are now on the calendar and presents for friends have to be hunted down and bought. Consignment and thrift shops are some of my [...]

Bread, rugolach, perogies with just a hint of strawberries and…arctic char? Puzzles, pirate ships, paper dolls and…screaming? There is only one place we could be- Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. No trip to the city would be complete without a visit to the island to check out the Public Market and Kid’s Market. All you [...]

The Pike Place Market is one of those Seattle icons that everyone visits when they come to town. Tourist swamp the small walkways and stand gaping at the fishermen as they throw a $200 fish through the air. Oddly enough, it is also a place that locals frequent. I tend to steer clear of any [...]

I’m a good mom. At least I think so, but even I can’t be with my toddler 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s exhausting. Even when Mike is home on the weekend and takes over a lot of the toddler entertaining I’m still there to answer the “Mommy!” call. So this weekend [...]

We are back from Whistler. It was amazing and I can’t wait to share our adventures with you.  The little guy got his first taste of sledding, ice skating and fire twirlers. I still have a lot of photo editing to do and some writing, but I will have posts up very soon filling you [...]
