Mothers day is just around the corner and it feels kind of nice! Being able to treat moms, friends that are moms and ladies in general because what we do in our everyday is a lot! Showing our appreciation for them is important.
I have recently fallen in love with Taffystep and I’m happy to announce that we’ve teamed up this Mothers Day and gifting one lucky winner their choice of a pair of beautiful shoes from Taffystep.
There is no better time spent than hanging out in the kitchen, cooking with family. I mean our kitchen, like in most homes is the hub of the home. The meeting grounds of where we all find each other every morning for breakfast, lunch, snacks in between the day and then dinner… and maybe a snack before bed to yah know! We are always in the kitchen.

Giveaway Closed Congratulations Jaime Hughes!!
Happy Fathers Day Month! Dads deserve a whole month of celebrating to because they also work really hard! They are always working their butts off and they too need to be given lots of love.
Fathers Day to me, is an important one. Because I love being able to show our little ones how special it is to really give a whole day appreciating the person that is also raising them. To really make sure they know how much they need to give their love to him all the time.
At 24 years old Drew became a Dad for the first time and it was one of the most amazing times in his and my life. Not only did we have a new baby to take care of but I was able to see this brand new, special side of Drew. It was the most meaningful moments for the both of us.
It was like he opened his eyes for the first time and could breathe. He loves being a dad. He loves sharing his love with us. And I can say, that I know this man would do anything for his family. So the least we could do is celebrate him and share this amazing giveaway of his favourites to a special dad that you know!
All dads deserve to be spoiled to!
Cultus Lake Golf Course.
Drew loves golfing here. Mind you time isn’t always there, but when he does he loves these greens and the beautiful views. Not to mention the brand new Top Tracer Lounge you can rent with up to six friends and enjoy a little afternoon hanging out hitting some balls in the driving range! Fully set up with heaters, drinks, music and really just a good time all around!
Fraser Valley Meats.
Drew spends every weekend here. At least once a weekend. He disappears and comes out with all kinds of goodies to make the best BBQ’s. He’s always filling up our bellies with some delicious meals from here. Also, really love the kids shopping carts and play area. And while your in there you can grab all kinds of stuff, everything you need to make an excellent meal with family and friends. Couple of must buys… the chicken pot pie and maui ribs!!!
Nine Kitchen & Lounge.
Did someone say PIZZAA?? This spot just recently opened up in Abbotsford and we had the chance to visit it over the weekend. Such a sweet little gem! Outdoor seating for warm nights and cute little spots to sit at inside. The menu was loaded with food and drinks! I’m pretty sure Drew wanted to marry the pizza served here. It was his absolute favourite he could not stop talking about how much he loved it!

If you ever visit Vancouver or your in the process of planning a weekend away there. It’s so easy to think to yourself “Where are some cool & good places to check out?” The beautiful part about Vancouver is that there is an endless amount of places to visit and the possibilities are endless. Codi and I had that perfect chance to sneak away for the evening and we were so lucky to get to know some really great places for us to try and of course some that we love to visit everytime we venture into Vancouver. We had a sweet taste of some new places and some go-to’s that I always love to visit!
It’s always such a treat being in great company and having a trip where everything goes right! It’s just magically fell into place for us and we had such a fun time away.
Our first stop was of course The Burrard. This place is a very fun retro vibe. A converted city motor hotel from 1956. It holds so much fun character and colour. I love it! If you’re ever in need of a low key and relaxing getaway this little slice of heaven is right center of the city giving you that city feel but also giving you a very quiet experience. As soon as you walk into this unique, gorgeous place the rush of the city seems to disappear. The palm trees center court, ping pong table, fireplace and bright beautiful colours is everything that’s needed to make for a chill stay.
Below with easy to get to Elysian coffee and Burgoo Restaurant. It’s the perfect one stop shop for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If your really into it, which of course we were… they have set up the convenience of the bicycles to take for a joyride around the city. Easy to check out and complimentary. It’s super easy to ride a little way down the street and hit up some key city places to visit.
I’m always so happy when we visit that the staff is always so helpful and so nice. Always ready and eager to help wherever they can and however they can. I definitely can’t forget the clean rooms, comfy beds, FREE WIFI, Nespresso Machines in every room and character pictures around the hotel. There’s something fun in every room.
The amenities are literally endless, you can read all of their hotel features here… https://theburrard.com/#amenities

Tacofino Ocho, this new hotspot was the place to be. So full of awesome energy and friendly staff. And honestly best food ever! Not just saying that because I was very hungry. It honeslty was so delicious! We indulged in a full course meal from Nachos to drinks and desserts. I left with a very full tummy! I loved the location as well, tucked in a quiet street was this totally bustling busy Tacofino. The best!

Morning came way to soon, normally does when you spend it kid less! After a deep sleep waking up my first thought is coffee. So off we went to Medina and it was worth every drop. Another really unique and special spot to visit. I loved the old look yet with a very modern twist to it. Serving the best leige-style waffles in the city and menu is full of mediterranean inspired dishes.
Full of healthy items to fill you up and the lattes to fuel you! To me visiting new spots is always a must, but revisiting special places I already adore means a lot to me as well. This trip carried both. And with that I walked away with new favourites to fall in love with. To recommend and to enjoy with the people who are close to me!

For a little afternoon treat we visited Karameller in YaleTown. Love YaleTown. If you ever need a few ideas to visit I would definitely recommend Luxe Spa, House Special, Small Victory, Fine Finds… just to name a few! Karameller is a family favorite so of course we stocked up on these sweet & sour Swedish treats for everyone home. The rows of candy go forever and it’s so nice to choose from recycled bags or jars. Makes for a perfect gift to!

As you probably already know our family is obsessed with Klaassen Farms blueberries. Located in our little/big area of Chilliwack. Thankfully we can enjoy them all year long! Summer time fresh off the bush and at Winter time we love getting their frozen blueberries. Picking them up is very easy thanks to their cute and cozy little shop they have with fun gifts inside.
We recently took a little trip out to visit the shop and it’s full of Holiday Cheer. Tons of blueberries, thoughtful local gifts to get your loved one and best part is that anything edible is blueberry related. Blueberry chocolates, blueberry jam! It’s blueberry heaven to my family. Starting December 1st you can visit the store and stock up on your favourites from Canvas Candle, New Moon, NEU Botanicals, Meadow Vista and many many more.
I love the quaint feel of this shop and how much love they have for our community and their family farm. It’s always such a wonderful feeling visiting this gem. To celebrate their newly renovated in store shop we have teamed up to give you some special giveaways to enter and win a piece of them this Holiday Season!!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED WINNER ANNOUNCED SOON…. THANK YOU EVERYONE SO MUCH FOR ENTERING!
About two years ago now, when we were first scattered on the real estate market. First time buyers searching for a home. We ran into so many dilemmas. So many places just didn’t feel like us. Sure we could create it to make it feel like us. But you always want the ahh feeling. SOmething in your home has to give you that ahh feeling. That feeling of being safe, cozy, kinda quiet. The feeling where your whole body sinks into a space and you feel ease. …
Alright parents, let’s get our Back to School thinking caps on. I know it’s so hard to admit that Summer may soon be over. But good news, once it is, it means all those little ones will be heading BACK TO SCHOOL. I’m slightly excited and slightly nervous, just as if it’s my first day back to school. Wondering if I bought everything they need, and thinking did I forget anything……
Back To School Shopping With Sevenoaks Shopping Centre .
Parents, it’s soon that time of the year again. BACK TO SCHOOL. I have totally appreciated the time off with my family. But I’ve gotta admit I’m eagerly awaiting the first day of school. With that in mind I’ve been slowly searching for the best deals when it comes to shopping for the kids. I used to think that I could just buy a few items and be good until the next time we needed something, but over the years I’ve learned from that mistake, because this time of the year it truly is best to do it all in one shop. It’s much more cost effective and time efficient. The prices are also smoking good and the styles are sooo cute! I’m very guilty of buying the same thing in different colours if the price is right. …
Mom’s Night Away | Loden Hotel Giveaway
At some point in time it’s almost every mothers dream to sneak away for the night and sleep in a bed all to themselves without a single interruption. To be able to soak in a warm jacuzzi tub & wake up whenever to breakfast and coffee in bed. Best yet, with NO CLEAN UP!! Recently, I got to experience just that with some close girlfriends and mamas. Pretty much a night for the books staying at downtown Vancouver’s award winning Boutique Hotel The Loden.…
