10 Things You Can Do with Your Kids this Summer
Summer’s here and school is out (or will be very shortly), so what can we do to keep our kids’ brains developing?

I find buying a gift for someone who has everything to be the trickiest gift bought each year. There’s nothing they need – they have everything. Anything they want they just get. And it’s hard to find them something special. I find the best gifts for these kinds of people are sentimental and personal.
A great idea for the ‘hard to buy for’ could be a canvas print! What’s more special than a lovely photo of the family or a canvas print of a piece of your child’s art that will stand the test of time?
I recently discovered Best Canvas. They can provide photos on canvas for as low as $7.30 for an 8″x8″ and turn it around in just 24hrs! Please note, today (December 13th) is the last day to order for a guaranteed pre-Christmas delivery.
The top-quality canvas fabric is manually stretched over a hand-made spruce wood stretcher frame. Every one of the photo canvas prints is produced using solvent-free HP latex inks which means no VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
If wall space is tight in your loved one’s home, Best Canvas also makes custom blankets. These super-soft lifestyle decor items are available in fleece and premium plush formats. Each photo blanket can showcase a superb print of your most cherished photo. It’s a great way for your loved ones to wrap themselves in memories.
If you don’t have a ‘hard to buy for’ person in your life, what about adding some more decor to your house? We are planning on adding some canvas prints of our children’s art to decorate the living room with. The children are so proud of their art and we want to show them that we love it too.
If this sounds like a good gift idea to you, you can even save a little more money. Use promo code BCPARENT25 and get 25% OFF when you spend $50 or more on top of the already discounted BestCanvas.ca product range (except face masks and MIXPIX®photo tiles) – in total saving more than 90%!
Now all you have to do is choose the right photo to share!

It wouldn’t be summer without a chance to hike through BC's most beautiful trails. The WILD Outside team hikes throughout the year, whether that’s under Douglas Firs at Lighthouse Park or climbing Mt. Seymour for a breathtaking view of Vancouver.
Easter Sunday is only days away! Have you bought the items for the Easter Baskets? The baskets were traditionally filled with a copious amount of candy, but now people are moving away from all that excess. In the past, I have included a new DVD, this year I have added a few different things to…
It can be tricky to find the right gift to be for your Mom and Dad, from your kids or from each other. Here are some ideas to help.
