Sky High Adventure on Grouse
I love being a blogger. I love being a blogger in Vancouver where I am lucky enough to get invited to try out many of the local attractions including things like Theatre Under the Stars and Grouse Mountain. Even if you are not a skier, Grouse Mountain is always there. You cannot miss it at […]
Artsy Adventures
Saturday morning saw the Sauriol girls rise and head out bright and early to check out the Vancouver International Children’s Festival. The festival makes its home down on Granville Island, so I was not keen on taking the car. Instead it became a big transit adventure which was part of the fun for the kids. […]

De Dutch Loves Families

Have you Driven a Ford Lately?
I haven’t. Not in a while anyway. Our car before the Chrysler was a Ford Focus Wagon. We bought that due to it working well for a growing family (1 to 2), and was a quick buy after my husbands dear and beloved Honda Civic was trashed while I was the driver. Granted THAT wasn’t […]
