Our family visit to the Fairmont Vancouver to watch our first ever Vancouver Santa Claus Parade was by far one of our most memorable family weekends away. To start off I’m not going to get into detail the stress we endured to make it there with rush hour traffic. So lets skip that part! The boys had decided that they also wanted to watch the hockey game at Rogers Arena before hand. The Toronto Maple Leafs (Drew’s favourite team) were in Vancouver for the only time this year to play the Canucks. They had the best time together! It was one of their first games together as well so it was extra special….

Fresh Perspective | Fuji Film X-A3
Not speaking on behalf of being a pro, I will just announce that now! I’m speaking as a mom and beginner photographer. As a blogger photos are key, they are basically everything. Having something nearby thats reliable and trust worthy to take good photos is pretty much the number one thing. I was recently gifted the Fuji Film X-A3 to do just that with. Take photos for the blog and give my thoughts on it! Pretty much a dream being able to work with Fuji Film. This camera has for sure blown me away more so then I thought it would!…

Keeping My Family Safe | FortisBC Carbon Monoxide
Keeping My Family Safe | FortisBC Carbon Monoxide
It’s a scary thought to hear Carbon Monoxide is a “Silent Killer”. When you think about it, it really is and that’s hard being a mother trying to prevent the unimaginable from happening when you don’t even know it’s happening around you. In every home we’ve lived in we always had a CO detector to help us find the signs so I never feared too much. But, the more I started to read about it, the more I thought about the things we can do to help prevent the worst from happening. Many of these are preventable measures that can be done easily without much effort like booking annual inspections with eligible contractors found on Fortis BC’s website. As a mother, I know I like to control any situation that may stand in the way of my family’s safety. Which is why I’m talking more about CO poisoning in our home and creating more awareness!…
