Happy Valentines!

I love this photo. It conveys all that is sweet and innocent and fun about being a kid on Valentine's Day. My daughter got some Valentines in the mail yesterday which pleased her no end. She LOVES getting mail so I'm going to sign her up for Happy Mail for Kids which ships out a fun-filled, colourful package each month. Here's a tip next time you travel: buy a stash of extra postcards and address them to your little ones. Write a little note about the picture on the card that will remind her of your holiday and put them in the mail towards the end of your trip. She'll love getting the mail when you get home and remembering the happy times. Happy Family Day long weekend everyone!

Family Day events in Calgary

Family Day is fast approaching. If you are looking for some fun activities to do as a family, check out the list of special events on the Family Fun Calgary website. They also have a month-by-month listing of events in the city.
My favourite page, one that I have bookmarked for those "what shall we do today?" moments, is the Cheapies and Freebies. These value events and activities won't cost you a cent. For example, check out the Home Depot workshops for kids aged 6 to 12 or Friday night stargazing at the Science Centre.
