 As many of you know our Annika (aged 5) loves bugs. At her preschool ‘graduation’ after all the princesses, fire fighters, and artists, the teacher announced: “When Annika grows up she wants to be an entomologist”. Most of the parents looked at each other and laughed and the kids all looked confused. Like most parents I hardly even … Continue reading Our ‘Bugging’ Entomologist  We had one of the quintessential spring outings with the kids last week. We went to visit a small farm that belongs to my cousin in Fanny Bay, BC. They call themselves Snapdragon Dairy. Here are a few links describing what they do. One from Infocus Magazine and one from Eyes On BC. We didn’t have … Continue reading Goat Farm with Kids  In early March we went to Victoria for spring break and it was beautiful. We had a great time and after being around the all the nice flowers and gardens I started to get excited about planting our garden.

Bryce mostly ignored it and played with his cars and Jada cried a lot. We decided not to traumatize her much longer so we stopped the movie short and put Bryce and Jada to bed. Annika, Martin, and I finished watching it, and I’m glad we … Continue reading Wild Things and Bunny Ears  The search for the perfect bicycle for our daughter required the full extent of my bargain searching talent. Her birthday is coming up and I had considered buying a brand new bicycle but it is hard to justify the $60-100 (or more) price tag for a bike she will any ride for a year or so. … Continue reading Finding the Perfect Kids Bike  “What are you doing?!!?” I screamed to my parents as Annika opened ‘The Little Mermaid’ DVD one Christmas. ‘This is a Princess movie you fools!!!’ OK, so I did not scream at my parents but I wanted to. In hindsight I may have over-reacted a little as Annika has now watched ‘The Little Mermaid’ many times … Continue reading We are NOT raising Princesses  |
