It’s a wonderful time of the year, don’t you think? Everyone is in a cheery mood, snowflakes illuminate everything in a magical way, and it is, of course, the holiday season. Make the most of it and ensure that you spend as much time as you can enjoying the company of your family and friends, and avoid stressing over the holidays and spending too much money.
Here are some quick, simple suggestions for family fun in Calgary.
Ahhh...the lazy days of summer are here. Most parents look forward to the summer as a time to take things a bit slower and take a break from the routine hustle and bustle of the school year. And it seems inevitable that about two weeks into summer vacation the kids start to mutter those dreaded two words - "I'm bored."
I love the summer! No homework, no rushing around and everyone seems to be in a better mood. For me, the summer is one big, deep, cleansing breath that continues for two months! That being said, I don't think kids quite get the idea that summer should represent a change of pace. They don't bicker less with siblings, they don't nag any less and they certainly don't give you any more time alone in the bathroom!
