vancouver: what to do, what to do?

Lunar New Year is in full swing this weekend, and the Lower Mainland is abuzz with the celebrations. There are festivals all around, and of course, the signature parade in Vancouver’s Chinatown. If you are looking for other events you can get some early tips for Draw a Dinosaur Day at TELUS World of Science, join a nature walk in Stanley Park, or head to a family game night. It’s also time for the Vive les Voyageurs French-Canadian Festival in Langley, a rich celebration of French-Canadian history and culture. There’s so much to do, where will you start? Whatever you choose we hope you have fun, and Gong Hei Fat Choi!

the colour of music

When we were very young, we took piano lessons. And although it has been many years since we’ve seen her, the thought of our music teacher still gives us fear hives whenever we sit down to tickle the ivories. But we would love our little ones to gain an appreciation for music (without the hives), so we headed to the VSO School of Music and checked out their Colourstrings Program.

a good cuppa

Personally, we’d never survive parenthood without coffee … ideally, tasty, fair trade, and organic coffee. But, sadly, we’ve been forced to drink less than palatable java at (desperate) times. So we love it when we find coffee that suits our palate, as well as our sensibilities. On that note, we’d like to introduce you to the Crema Coffee Company.
