Acting like Chimpanzees!
July 13, 2009
It was so beautiful last week. I hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine! The kids and I spent every moment we could outdoors, headed to playgrounds, played in the backyard and went for walks.
Once again our sun has disappeared. It is hard not to get discouraged. We had planned a teddy bear picnic for today to celebrate my daughter's fifth birthday however the weather has caused us to reconsider.

What's Happening - March in Halifax
March 11, 2009
While we all pine for spring weather, March has begun and given us more snow! Ack! However we have had some nice weather melting the ice and snow away. It is only a matter of time and spring will arrive! March brings Spring Break for schools, so there are a lot of activities going on that week. Being that we do not have school age children yet, we usually lie low that week, spending time with friends at playdates rather than fight the crowds. Here are a few things that are happening this month:

I'm Using My Imagination Mommy!
October 14, 2008
My child has a vivid imagination. In fact I am usually the one to try to bring her down to earth rather than inspiring her. There are many ways to encourage an active imagination in children at the preschool age. If you are searching for places to inspire look no further. The first place a child's imagination is sparked is right at home. Provide open ended toys, such as Play Silks, Read more...
Another History Lesson - The Titanic
September 22, 2008
Halifax is rich in history and there is so much to share with your little one. Now most preschoolers will not be infatuated with Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet, yet, however Halifax plays a key role in the history of the famous ship. While one might want to skip the tour our city's cemeteries, where many of the Titanic victims are laid to rest, the history provides a great opportunity to talk Read more...

History Lessons
September 05, 2008
The very first museum we explored as a family was The Museum of Natural History , located in downtown Halifax. We arrived in Halifax during a snow storm, and the children were antsy after days of traveling and attempting to settle in. The museum was close to our hotel so we ventured over to take a peek. That same day we bought a season pass. The Museum of Natural History is absolutely fantastic. Read more...
