Some Changes

I have been trying to improve "Family Things to Do In Winnipeg & in Manitoba" blog. After some reading & research, here are some of the changes I have made so far:

• a new logo & other design changes
• allowing everyone (not just google accounts) to post comments 
• added the Facebook Share button, found at the top right! "Sharing is Caring"
• a "link" will now open to a new window (and not leave this blog) - downfall every time you click something a new window appears -will need to remedy this ASAP
• There is now a FREE things to do page (see tabs above)... I will continue to add to this as I can!!
• a list of past popular posts

I also intend on trying to include more photos, and possibly mini reviews about of the places we visit!

SO, let me know what you think of the changes, and even ideas of things you would like to see. I would love to hear your thoughts!!!!

REVISED Summer Plan!!

Okay, so besides the days "we" have swimming lessons, THIS is how I plan on spending the rest summer!! I think I've GOT it right this time! What do you think??

MUST SEE!!

(if you came from FB looking for my Summer Survival Rant click here)

Do you have kids over the age of 3 or so?
Do you like to spend time with them outdoors?
If so then you MUST visit this AMAZING website I found!!!

I am SO VERY excited to share it with you that my fingers can't keep up with my enthusiasm!! (I think I even spelled enthusiasm correct the first time?!)

The site is called Nature Detectives, and they have AMAZING games, activities, printouts, booklets all based on the outdoors!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! I found it while searching for basic information on trees (Dendrology; the science or study of trees) which I also learned in the searching process. For a very long time now I have wanted to go walking around our neighbourhood (the kids & I), and be able to tell the kids "Oh that's a ______ tree"... And I mean more than just pointing out an Oak or Maple. Well now thanks to this site, the kids & I can learn about the trees together. The site has leaf and bark identification pages, as well as bird, butterfly & ladybug sheets... Oh you are going to LOVE it!! It TOTALLY motivates me to get outside with the kids & ENJOY the simple things (Which is my new philosophy in life)!!

Anyway, go HERE, and you can download AMAZING FREE printouts for your children to enjoy this summer... or winter or fall or Halloween, or anytime of the year!!! It's SO GREAT!!!!!!

Okay I'll stop rambling now!! (Who am I kidding you are already on that site by now!! lol)
