THE JULY EDIT: FAVOURITE PICKS OF THE MONTH

July marks the beginning of summer break here in Canada and with the heat wave that we’ve experienced over the past week, that means summer is officially in full swing! We love making the most of the summer sunshine that we get here in Vancouver and this month’s edit is all about our favourite picks for the outdoors and summertime!

SHOP OUR PICKS!

At home, we love playing in our backyard after dinner and this bocce ball set is a favourite after dinner family game! We just hung this wooden kids swing on our front cedar tree and the kids wake up and go straight out to swing on it. Our kids’ (yes, all 3!) first bikes were these wishbone bikes and I love that they can start on three wheels and then convert to two. They are truly the perfect first bike!

We hope you’ve found something to inspire you in our July shopping guide! For more Winter Daisy favourites, see our May picks and our blog post about 8 summer books to inspire a love of nature!

THE MAY EDIT: FAVOURITE PICKS OF THE MONTH

April showers have definitely delivered the May flowers and walking around the neighbourhood with the kids as the weather warms up is beyond delightful. As we are spending more time outdoors, I wanted to include some of our favourite things for the backyard in this month’s edit and I am dreaming of a few of these gorgeous swing chairs for reading all summer long.

The playhouse below is ready for a similar playhouse makeover to the one we did a few years ago and I assure you it was one of our favourite backyard toys ever! You’ll recognize this slide from our modern basement project and I love that the simple bunk bed converts to two twin beds for different stages of your child’s development!
