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.

* G I V E A W A Y * Enter to win a stack of our favourite @peterrabbitmovie 2: The Runaway activities and books!

PETER RABBIT 2: THE RUNAWAY has hit the theatre!

In PETER RABBIT™ 2: THE RUNAWAY, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.

I don't know about you but our family is *SO EXCITED* for new movies in the theatres, and even moreso when they are kid friendly flicks for us to use as a family outing! I miss buttered popcorn and movie snacks and hearing little giggles next to me at fun parts of the movie. We loved Peter Rabbit when it first came out in 2018 and can't wait to see what sort of adventures he's up to this time!

☀️ SUMMER VIBES //

I'm dreaming of beaches, travel and sun. Does anyone else kick off summer with picnics? I love how easy @caffeartigiano made our picnic date. Everything comes boxed up and ready for you to take on your travels, and you can add on some bevvies too!

I may have a new love affair with vegan cheese... I want to put it on *everything*.

What's your go-to picnic must-haves?

⭐Did you know Insulin was discovered in Canada 1

⭐Did you know Insulin was discovered in Canada 100 years ago?⭐

To celebrate this incredible milestone @diabetescanada has *100* curbside events happening across Canada that provide a safe and convenient way to donate your items with a curbside drop off.

Like a drive thru there is no need to get out of your car! Just drive up and pop your trunk and volunteers in PPE will safely remove your donations from your car.

𝐎𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟗:𝟎𝟎𝐚𝐦-𝟐:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐭:

➡️ Kelowna, IGA - Glen Park Village, 1940 Kane Rd
➡️ Pitt Meadows, Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre, 12027 Harris Road
➡️ Nanaimo, Diabetes Canada Clothing Collection Centre, 4166 Departure Bay Rd.

Just look for the Diabetes Canada truck and roll on through!

Finally, I can unload the bags of outgrown clothes post-kids-growth-spurt that have slowly been accumulating in the back of my truck and donate to a worthy cause!

Click the link in my bio for a location near you for a drive thru drop off. Help divert gently used clothing & textiles out of our landfill. For more information and for other dates visit declutter.diabetes.ca

🌼 Spring (and soon to be Summer!) fun has sprung with @mgaentertainment! 🌼

A was so excited to get a stuffed box of goodies just in time for her birthday, including old favourites from @lolsurprise, her favourite @officialrainbowhigh doll and more. Full of fun colours, interactive play and toys she can take on the go, she's discovered new and old favourites all over again.

Full review of our faves on the blog today (link in bio) - A highly recommends taking your @nananasurprise dolls on the trampoline and let their hair fly *everywhere!*

Does anyone else's littles love all the dolls with long hair? A takes them everywhere!

🐛 WIN a 12 pack of @smartsweets gummy worms! 🐛

Sometimes I like to be the 😎cool😎 mom and have treats on hand for summer outings and stashed in goodie bags, little does my kid know that these delicious little gummy worms only have 3g of sugar for the entire bag! I love how easy it is to swap out our fave candy with an alternative that has 86% less sugar than other gummy worms. The best part? I love them too, so much so that I've already "tested" a bag and can confirm, absolutely delicious.

HOW TO WIN //

○ LIKE & SAVE this post
○ FOLLOW @SmartSweets & @bcmomdotca
○ TAG your friends below! (1 comment = 1 tag = 1 entry)

Can't wait and want to try them now? Use code TARAGW10 for 10% off your order of $30 or more and stock up on old and new faves to have on hand for a sweet treat summer!

Would you share your prize or keep all the deliciousness stashed away for yourself? ;) Good luck!

Anyone else have a budding artist at home? (Gifted product)

A has been diving into bringing her creations to life thanks to the @playosmo Disney Princess Super Studio! Definitely one of our favourite Osmo kits yet. We’re missing Disney quite a bit so she’s loving drawing her favourite princesses, creating scenes that dance and she can’t wait to finish the story! I love how it gets her imagination moving and how she celebrates when she unlocks something special.

Who else gets excited about a ✨new toothbrush✨

Who else gets excited about a ✨new toothbrush✨?! Love my new @colgate Keep brush from @shoppersdrugmart!

My innovative new brush boasts 80% less plastic than comparative brushes and comes in entirely recyclable paper packaging! The aluminum handle is comfortable and the heads are super easy to replace. I have sensitivity issues and bamboo toothbrushes and I cannot, so this is a great alternative for me!

This year, @shoppersdrugmart is proud to make it even easier to try something new with their expanded online shopping experience. Many of the latest in skin, body, hair and oral care are available for purchase both in-store and online at shoppersdrugmart.ca/new starting February 27, 2021. Oh hey, and if you’re a PC optimum points collector don’t forget that you can collect 10x the points on select products - perfect time to try out some new goodies!

And for those wondering! I also used the @armandhammer essentials healthy teeth and gums toothpaste and my 🦷 feel ✨super✨ clean!

Who’s in for a less plastic alternative? 🙋🏼‍♀️
