CURRENTLY LOVING: PEPITO BY CHUS

 

I'm smitten with Pepito by Chus, a children's clothing brand from Barcelona. The clothes are classic, comfortable and extremely stylish -- it was nearly impossible for me to narrow down the styles to share. Take a look ...

A FUN GAME

Monkey is addicted to playing board games. His current favourite is Orchard: the card game. The concept is simple -- try to collect all the fruit cards before the raven reaches the orchard -- so it was easy for him to grasp the game. It is also portable, which makes it a great game to take along on family trips. Now, if only Little Bean would stop picking up cards when it's not her turn!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? After our trip last week, we're going to have a relaxing weekend catching up with friends, bike riding and spending time in the garden with the weeds. I find that no matter how thrilling, beautiful or serene a vacation can be, I always enjoy settling at home and falling back in to our daily routines. 

Let's start the weekend with a song by a fellow Canadian -- this is Infamous by Basia Bulat. 

Happy weekend!

OUR FIRST SKI TRIP

Our family ventured away from the mild temperatures of Bermuda to wintery Mont Tremblant, Quebec for our first ski trip.

The kiddos loved everything about winter. From bundling up in hats, mitts and snowsuits to rolling, sliding and licking the fresh falling snow. Monkey learnt to ski, making it from the top of the mountain to the bottom all by himself, and Iris tried hard to stay upright between my legs. When we weren't skiing, we trekked through the woods with a team of 10 husky dogs and painted a few masterpieces at a creative studio. 

Here are a few photos if you'd like to see ...

A BIRTHDAY MONKEY

This kiddo is now 5 years old! His earnest stories delight me, his compassion warms my heart, his budding sense of humour makes me laugh and his new-found creativity inspires me. Needless to say, this little Monkey means the world to me.

We celebrated his birthday this weekend with a bowling party with his friends. Here are a few pictures of the fun times ...
