We’d Love to Hear From You!

Did you get your fix of coffee from any of these renowned cafes during your stay in Whistler? If so, which of these coffee shops do you think has the best brew? Let us know your favorites in the comments below.

Did our parents and Grandparents feel this rushed? I remember my childhood feeling slow, so I wonder if the adults were less hurried than we are now. I try to schedule in some downtime each day, but admittedly it’s hard. Harder still when we’re traveling. I like to ensure when we visit a new place we “get the most out of every minute”. This detailed itinerary building worked great when it was just Ben and me but now we have two babies, it ends in tears. Usually mine! I now pad the trip’s events with scheduled moments of calm. These are for the children, but I benefit from them too. I find the activities almost meditative and feel similar results- clarity of mind, more present and calmer. And isn’t this why we travel?

In this section of the blog, I call “Kids Corner” I will describe these types of activities. They will be easy things you can do in your rental suite with few materials easily collected in nature or local stores nearby. Here’s the first of many…

Activity: Natures Puzzle

Materials

Instructions

During your explorations, collect different types of flora. This “hunting” can be helpful to keep kids moving and engaged on a hike. Promote that they pick things that have already fallen naturally, so as not to disturb nature’s delicate balance. Place these on a piece of construction paper and trace them using a pen. Remove the flora and ask your littles to complete the “puzzle” but putting the pieces in the correct spots.

Till next post,

Sarah

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

Ben and I have so much to be grateful for; our family, good health, this beautiful place we call home and the people who we’ve met here, our chosen family, who supports us in all we do. just to name a few.

This long weekend we took full advantage of all Whistler has to offer. We, like most, hit up the Turkey Sale and got Heath his first ski set-up. 70cm Rossi’s- doesn’t get any cuter! Big homecooked meals with family and friends, ice skating at Meadow Park and we went up the gondola for the last Peak-to-Peak ride of this season.

The highlight of our weekend, however, was hands down our trip north to Pemberton to visit North Arm Farms. The view of Mount Currie never disappoints. Right now North Arm Farms is offering a tractor ride to their pumpkin patch, marshmallow roasting, freshly popped popcorn, hay bales for the kids to jump on and more. It was a blast. We highly recommend you check it out.
