Another (hot) summer long weekend is upon us, and that means lots of travelling. And the 5th Edition of the Lonely Planet’s Travel with Children has just been released.

There are so many things to consider when you’re getting ready for your new arrival, everything from picking the perfect car seat to sleeping arrangements to whether or not to switch to non-toxic cleaning products.

the unusual suspects

Vancouver has heaps to offer in the way of family entertainment, for visitors and city dwellers alike. But with the summer holidays upon us, when we’re in the city we’re constantly thinking of ways to entertain our little darlings. Once the usual suspects – PNE, Science World, the Aquarium and Granville Island – have been done to death, here are a few lesser known activities to enjoy.

Back in July of 2007 we covered the launch of dandelion KIDS’ new online store and now they’ve done it again and upgraded their site to make it more user-friendly and added heaps more products, almost everything they sell in store in fact. And speaking of online shopping, in the fall of 2007 we were all over the opening of Mink Chocolates and now we’re thrilled that they’ve launched an online store.
