so wonderful to hear about kids thinking about others! My five year old son designed and made lino print cards for the disaster relief in Japan, earlier this year! He managed to raise $300 that he donated to Doctors without boarders and also some to the red cross. it was his idea from the start and it was so amazing to see his vision unfold!

wow, so exciting! now i need to plan a trip there!

the Spooka from IKEA is the best .... and cheaper! We bought a few as we always forget to charge them. They are great for nightlights and fort/under blanket play!

thanks for posting my advent cones! the boys love them! oh and i found my mini clothes pegs!!!

i've already commented, but didn't have much time to really post any info! i had an amazing experience in yaletown at a restaurant called Society. It had crazy neon pink chandeliers and cozy velvet booths. We walked in and almost left right away due to the non-kid vibe, but were pleasantly surprised. They ushered us in and got a high chair (shocking that they had one!). All the staff were accommodating a great with the kids. Then after dinner the manager took us all to the back and showed us the COTTON CANDY machine! My three year old was blown away! We munched on our little sticks of cotton candy all the way back to the hotel. For the rest of the trip my son begging to go back to that restaurant!

We took the little harbour ferries from yaletown to granville island and they boys loved it. They also loved the seabus ride to north van/ quay market! We are now planning another vacation to Vancouver in August. All these comments have got me excited for it!!

i have single hooks all around the boys room and hang the nicer costumes on the wall as decorations! We are all very visual and if the costumes were tucked away, I think we'd be less inspired to dress up in them!

haha .... i agree with the comment about the photo of mom with tons of bags and blankets! insane!!! i strive for one small bag that i can throw over my shoulder and the beco carrier for my one year old! anything extra my four year old carries himself in his little bag.

inspiring! i just made this for dinner and it was a hit! baby, preschooler and both hubby and i loved it! i added cumin and chili powder for a bit more flavor. also served it with sour cream and some sliced avocado! thanks for the idea!

Try looking at www.retrorenovations.com i know there are always a lot of paint samples and photos from the 50's there!

we used to hunt for chocolate eggs, wrapped in foil! We also dyed eggs, but never ate them ..... not big fans of hard boiled eggs i guess!
