Journal Entry No.40 | Klutch Photography | Vancouver family photography

It seems this two day, three-night whistler/Blackcomb family adventure is becoming a "thing" every April. How lucky are we to live only two hours away from this gem, how unlucky are we that it's so expensive, lol! 

With that being said, it's our year anniversary of buying into Embarc/Diamond resorts, which we thought might be a mistake after our blood pack, not going to buy into this "timeshare stuff", five-hour meeting, signing the papers, pay for it, and then the customary buyer's remorse sets in! But in one year, we've gone on four trips using our purchased points for our international accommodations. So It's safe to say, both of us are sold on the purchase thus far! Hellllooo! Who doesn't want to travel more? oh ya, I know who, my Portuguese mother! Good thing I'm the black sheep of the family who likes to "travel", and good thing she prays for us while we're away for our safety! Got to love a paranoid Catholic mother to keep the bad travel juju away!

So a miracle happened, Amara skied this year! Thank the lord, I wonder if that was my mom's doing? She is pretty tight with the man upstairs. Like I always say, a family that skis together, (while mom does her own thing) stays together!

Also, the Embarc Whistler resort was AMAZING for families, their waterslide was almost more fun for the adults! We didn't even need to leave the resort really (except for some ciders and the cold beer and wine store for one million dollars, insert your pinky to the corner of your mouth), and we did manage to sneak out for some spectacular sushi tho from Sushi Village.  Honestly GO eat there, we all agreed that it was top three places we've ever eaten sushi at.

Again Beautiful BC for the win!

NO TV FOR A WEEK  (or for the rest of the day)!!! 

This is my go-to punishment for most things including when they're taking advantage of watching to much TV!  I find when my kids are binging on TV for long stretches, their less co-operative, snappy, bored more often and kind of like human zombies!

It's not an easy punishment to deal with, they're like addicts, and they don't know what to do with themselves for the first few days then they settle into creativity. WHICH I LOVE.  They remember their board games and start to play them, read, paint, go on hikes, play outside (I know right, shocking!). This past weekend they made a couture dress from recyclables! French chic as they told me!

Guess what; I'm ok with being the mean mom because I'm not here to be their best friend I'm here to make them into kind, savvy, independent ladies!  

Here's to being a bad mom and letting their boredom rise their creativity higher!
