Did you know there are only 940 weekends between the time your child is born and the time they turn 18? And now that school is back in session, it can seem even more important to make the most of your weekends. We know that weekends provide valuable time for families to bond and reconnect without school, work and extracurricular activities getting in the way. But so often, day-to-day chores like cleaning the house, chauffeuring kids to activities and even checking your work email all steal time away from those most important in your life.
Picnics are a great way to get your family outside and exploring the city on a warm summer day. Here are our tips to make the most of your picnic adventure!
Stay cool and enjoy the summer sunshine! The City of Calgary maintains wading pools and splash parks all over the city which are open to the public and tons of fun!
Summer is here! This is the time we often relish end-of-school runs, busy activity schedules, and helping our children with homework and regular reading. However, the potential ‘summer slide’ that refers to summer reading loss is real. This decline in children’s reading development that can occur during summer when children are away from the classroom and not participating in formal literacy programs has been studied extensively.
