Exploring Jasper Part 1: Preschoolers & Grade School

There is so much to see and do here in Jasper National Park. However, my advice when travelling with little ones is to pick one main activity per day to allow them time to explore! We love to visit all the lakes regardless of the weather! Beach day is everyday provided you've packed the right clothing!

Winter Wonderland Packing Tips

Don’t feel bad if you don’t know how to pack for a mountain getaway. Lot’s of people aren’t sure what to pack especially for kids. It’s pretty much the same as I’d pack for myself: Layers!

We're a Ski Family

What's a good age to start kids downhill skiing? Our first born started when he was not quite 3-years old. It might sound daunting if you imagine little kids using adult-style equipment.

Pet Handlers for a Perfect Wedding Day

Our first Wedding Pet Handler service was intimidating. It's a huge commitment that has to go just right. But, with a bride as organized as this one, not only was the ceremony a dream, but a delight working with the bride. Her extraordinary event organization attention to detail made the day a breeze.

Kid-Friendly Dining In Jasper

Whether you’re on holidays in Jasper or just wanting to include your kids in dining out plans, you might not want the big price tag that can come along with food waste & tiny appetites. Even if your kids are adventurous diners, there’s a good chance that adult-sized meals are too big for small children

EC – Also known as the diaper free baby!

How to choose a quality childcare provider.

As a parent we need to ask ourselves, "Is my child safe? Will they be happy and comfortable?" Of course, if they cry as we walk out the door, we wonder if we are making the right choice.

Leaving your baby can be difficult!

Everyday will get easier and knowing he is in great care is so important! As kids go through stages, you can expect the crying when you try to leave can start up again, though not usually as bad as their initial separation anxiety.

Family Ski Vacations

What do you do if you have a 6 year old and little ones not quite ready to manage the ski hill. It can be great fun to get out to play in the snow with your infants but you might not want to use up a day at the hill making snowmen.
