Victoria: The Savvy Guide to June

Spring is a pretty tough act to follow, but June usually steps up to the plate beautifully. Here are our tips on how to make the most of this well-deserved month.

DO
Remember Dad
Why? Because June 19 is Father’s Day and we’ll have a few good gift ideas for you in our upcoming gift guide.

GET
A Shock Absorber Bra
Why? Because they’re great for seriously holding the girls in when exercising and they’re new to Canada (available at The Bay).

PLAY
In the sprinkler with your kids
Why? Because it’s just as much fun for you to play in the water with them and the kids will love it too. 

READ
The Happiest Mom by Meagan Francis
Why? Because who doesn’t want to know the 10 secrets to enjoying motherhood as shared by hundreds of moms?

SURF
www.bitstrips.com
Why? Because it’s a free, easy-to-use introduction to creating online comic strips with your kids (or on your own—it’s that addictive) that is making a splash in the school system, helping to promote literacy—and future Stan Lees.

APP IT
Art Bellies Pocket
Why? Because the easy-to-use app allows you to transform a picture you take with your iPhone or Touch to an incredible work of art.

GREEN IT
Hang your clothes out to dry
Why? It saves energy and money, and there is nothing that smells better than fresh, line-dried clothes. Your clothes will thank you too, as the dryer is rough on textiles, elastics and keeping colours vibrant.

DEAL IT
Save 15% off swim diapers from Monkey Doodlez until June 30 using code SavvyMay
Why? Because it’s a green way to keep those little messes contained. Available in a rainbow of colours and two styles (snap, or pull-up), you can use them all summer. Shop online or at participating retailers.
