Oh, hello!

Tara & Helisa met by happenstance over a love of coupons and saving money. Surviving solely on coffee, cuddles and post-it notes (and a bit of sassy humour) they can often be found enjoying all that beautiful British Columbia has to offer.

Pumpkin spice has landed, it’s almost sweata wea

Pumpkin spice has landed, it’s almost sweata weather and that means it’s also FALL CLEAN UP time! (ad) As you’re packing away the summer clothes and checking on the fall attire, make sure to package up anything you’re ready to part with and bring it to the @diabetescanada contactless drop off event!

Throw your sealed bags and boxes in your trunk and stop by Saturday September 11th from 9-2 at:

🍂 Nanaimo, Diabetes Canada Clothing Collection Centre, 4166 Departure Bay Rd
🍂 West Kelowna, Superstore, 3020 Louie Dr

Volunteers wearing masks and gloves will safely remove the items from your vehicle and away you go! Not close to one of these spots? They have locations across Canada! Visit declutter.diabetes.ca to find one close to you.

Your donations, no matter how big or small they may be, directly impact research funding, sending kids to important camps and offering support to those in need in the diabetes community. Hope you’ll join us in filling up that truck & keeping textiles out of the landfill!

Is anyone else eager to begin this upcoming school

Is anyone else eager to begin this upcoming school year? 🎒 @sonderly.io, an online educational and training platform that provides autism resources, is helping educators and moms like myself across Canada so we are prepared to support our kids.

As a parent, it’s difficult to find time to learn about new teaching methods and platforms that are tailored to children with neurodiverse needs. I actually just enrolled in a Sonderly course and love how it curates and decodes clinical research, and presents it in a user-friendly way. Sonderly has a robust digital library of applied behaviour analysis-based (ABA) courses and training materials that combine theory, practice, and testing, so that teachers and parents can stay up to date on the most relevant and effective training available. The platform is so special because it provides you with practical tools and bite sized information to take you beyond just awareness, and impact bigger change.

As a mental health advocate, I believe Sonderly is exceptionally useful for supporting children in the classroom. If you’re interested in learning more about Sonderly or want to sign up for a course, head to the link in my bio. #ad

I’m a bit of a sucker for kitchen and cleaning products that smell amazing, always seems they make the chore a little less boring #sponsored

I was recently sent some incredible earth safe kitchen goodies from @sapadillasoap! They are biodegradable, fueled by 100% essential oils instead of harsh chemicals for scents and make clean up a breeze. Choose from lavender, rosemary and mint and grapefruit and bergamot and enjoy the refreshing scents.

My fave? You can purchase in bulk if you find a product you love and refill your own bottles! I also love the simple vibe of the packaging.

Which is your favourite scent?

Looking for a free family activity to fill some summer days? We visited @visitrichmondbc for checked out the Steveston Walking Tour which is filled with so much rich history about Richmond, a deep dive into the struggles and perseverance of Chinese and Japanese immigrants and an incredible look at their traditions and much more.
.
The tour is free, but also takes you through bustling communities full of delicious food, fresh catches of the day and some amazing scenery.
.
If your family is on an unlearning journey like ours, I highly suggest setting aside the whole day to immerse yourself in this incredible, self-guided, insightful tour. Make a day of it and walk or bike the tour, stop for a delicious lunch and don’t forget to pick up the free kids booklet from @britanniashipyards!
.
Full details on what you’ll experience on our blog 👉🏻 www.bcmom.ca

What’s your favourite place to stop in Steveston?

Just a few of my favourite humans. Each bringing such incredible light to my life and support anytime it’s needed. So thankful we were able to connect over incredible food and beer pairings at @stanleyparkbrew for our first gathering since pre-covid!

@stanleyparkbrew has come out with the perfect beer pairings for reconnecting with friends and family over a refreshing drink or an on-the-go picnic. The fruity flavours including Peach Sunsetter, Mango Wheat Ale and Melon Wheat Ale pair perfectly with picnic eats; charcuterie yummies and even BBQs in the backyard.

With restrictions being slowly lifted I encourage you to grab a bev, pop into @stanleyparkbrew to see some missed friends and enjoy some delish food or kick back and relax with a refreshing cold one on your own!

And hey, if you want to go on an adventure, we also recommend the @benjaminkielesinski endorsed Trail Hopper IPA, a personal fave that is perfect for on-the-go “hopper” lover!

Which is your fave?

Between school, working and a full family schedule

Between school, working and a full family schedule I don’t want to worry about the bacteria my kid may encounter! Partnering with @Microban24 gave me the peace of mind I needed that when used as directed the surfaces in and around our life and house were shielded from 99.9% of bacteria for over 24-hours #ad.

Between being active in my local gifting community and having items coming in and out of my home often, as well as reusable bags being the norm for our family, I love how easy it is to spray, wipe, and feel confident my family is protected from any nasties that may hitch a ride home.

Not only do they have a Sanitizing Spray but they have a Bathroom Cleaner & Multi-Purpose Cleaner to protect my home. To learn more, visit the link in my bio.
