No bad weather, only bad clothing: 10 tips to dress for the weather

Living after the motto, “no bad weather only bad clothing”, means we pay a lot of attention to how we dress for the weather. Not only does that apply for me and the kids but also my filmmaker husband whose job takes him from the arctic to steamy jungles. (Sometimes in the same week)

I often hear some parents say that kids don’t need the same quality as adults. I understand they don’t want to spend too much money on clothes kids outgrow, but I think our kids deserve to get well dressed for the seasons for both comfort and movement. Being dress for the weather is the first critical step to embracing the seasons.

Treasure Hunt

treasure1Don’t you just love it when your kids show you how to play a game or do a new activity? My daughter did just that a few weeks ago, after reading and looking at a book called “Treasure Hunts” by Lenny Hort. She decided she was going to make her own treasure map.In this game she hides a treasure and draws a map.

Geocaching, an urban or rural adventure

I have for a long time wanted to try geocaching with my family. Think of geocaching as a high tech treasure hunt using a GPS instead of a smelly map made of leather with an X drawn on it. It has been an activity that has captured both the young and adult for some time, but there seems to be a surge of treasure hunting with the advent of GPS enabled smartphones.
