Back-to-school season is feeling a little different this year 🥹
Rosie is getting bigger, and apparently… so are the portions in her lunchbox! 😅

We’re getting ready for the new school year with our new Bentgo lunch essentials — lots of room for all her favourites to keep her fueled throughout the school day. 🥪🍇

You can also never go wrong with these beautiful neutral colours knowing that lil bro Jordan can eventually use them too. Because anything that can grow with our family is always a win!

Here’s to bigger kids, bigger lunches, and another exciting school year ahead. 🥹📚✨

Looking for a fun family day idea this summer?
Kids Market Granville Island has so much more to explore than just shopping! ☀️

The kids can make a whole day of it with the arcade 🕹️, play area, bumper cars 🚗, VR experiences 🥽 and, of course, SO many fun toy shops! 🧸 They even have party rooms if you’re looking for a unique spot for your little one’s next celebration.

And with back-to-school just around the corner, you can check a few things off your list while you’re there too! Shop for back-to-school essentials and even stop by for a fresh back-to-school haircut. 💇🏻‍♀️🎒✏️

We also got to enjoy one of their special event days, which made our visit even more fun! The kids loved watching the magician 🪄, listening to live music 🎶, doing arts & crafts 🎨, getting their faces painted and watching balloon twisting!

So if you’re looking for somewhere to spend a summer day with the kids while sneaking in a little back-to-school prep, Kids Market at Granville Island definitely need to be added to your list! ✨

Vancouver Kids, Summer In Vancouver, Family Day Out

Rosie’s been a little obsessed with MINISO Canada lately, but the one thing we love about MINISO is that they always find ways to make every visit feel special especially with fun themed pop-ups like this with One Piece!

From adorable collectibles, plushies to everyday essentials, there’s something for every one. If you’re a ONE PIECE fan, you won’t want to miss this! The pop-up is only until August 31 at Metropolis at Metrotown, so be sure to stop by before it’s gone.

All those books Rosie is holding? She finished them all in three days 😳

One of our favorite (and free!) family activities this summer has been joining the Richmond Public Library Summer Reading Club. 📚☀️

The reading challenges gave the kids something fun to work toward each week. Rosie loved completing her reading tasks, collecting stickers, and entering the weekly prize draws!

Beyond just reading more books, they’ve learned so much about how the library works. From searching the catalogue, finding books on the shelves, placing holds for books they couldn’t wait to read, and returning them when they were done, they’ve become so much more confident and independent library visitors.

And of course, it’s not all about books! Jordan always looks forward to the play area, puzzles, and coloring stations, making every visit enjoyable for both kids no matter their age.

It’s been such a wonderful way to encourage curiosity, and build a love for reading - making it feel like an adventure instead of a chore! We know we’ll be keeping our library visits as part of our routine long after summer ends. ❤️📖

TIP: new stickers come out every Wednesdays!
Have your kids joined the Summer Reading Club this year? We’d love to hear what books they’ve been enjoying!

Sunshine, fresh air, and a little imagination - that’s our favorite kind of summer ☀️🚜

We’re always looking for simple ways to get the kids outside, and construction play never gets old. Jordan had the best time digging, pushing, and creating his own little work site with the Tonka Steel Classics Bulldozer and the rest of his Tonka construction crew. Built tough for big adventures, they’re made for all the hauling, pushing, and exploring little hands can dream up.

Here’s to making the most of summer with outdoor play, endless imagination, and toys that can keep up. 💛
