A strong earthy, deep-rooted loving red to represent the parents, and a fresh, soft new-born green to represent the young children (the subtle sage green of Kamloops hills). The red leaves of the logo are the parents: a couple, a mother (pregnant as shown by the 'bump' on the leaf) and a single parent. The children are between them and together the entire Kamloops “family' is centred/grounded by one focal point—family living and unity. As a team they present an exuberant yet simple flower... which speaks to a harmonious life and what true beauty really is all about—our relationships with eachother. The logo also evokes a sense of movement... the action and activity of a family in motion, “doing' things together.

Krystal!

Krystal, thanks for your regular music contributions and all you do for KamloopsParents.Com!!

 


Working and raising a family is tough work!  Cleaning up after kids is like trying to use your pinky finger to hold back a wave!

I often feel like cleanliness of my house isn’t the top priority.  I usually have dishes on the counter and a kitchen floor that needs sweeping.  There are crumbs all over and toys left lying around.  There are things that I want to do and I often feel that I will never get to them!  When I began to feel overwhelmed with my house amidst the different goals of my life, I stumbled across a coupon for Dust Bunnies Cleaning.  If you check your latest Kamloops Momma Magazine, you may find one, too!

Candace and Andrea from Wild About Party Packs bring you this fantastic party inspiration and a coupon giveaway, too!

 

Does your little monkey love animals? Then let them explore the jungle or safari with a wild animal Birthday Party! This party idea can accommodate all ages but more specifically the younger crowd and ones who are fascinated by animals. You can easily host this party at home or pack it up and head to a petting zoo or the wildlife park.

Invitations for this party can be as simple as a construction paper leaf or animal paw print that opens up to display your party details. Or if you have the time, try something a little more creative and make an invitation in the shape of an elephants head with large ears and a long trunk. The trunk and ears fold up and when opened it reveals the party’s info.
