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.

What if I told you that handmade Christmas gifts don’t have to take forever? Sharing some of my fave @cricut Mug Press creations in under 90 seconds! Okay okay, it took me a bit longer than that to make, but would you believe I made them both in under 20 minutes? [ad]

I love a good gift that makes me laugh, so those closest to me this year are getting personalized mental health mugs to let them know I care (and care about their mental health!)

Click the link in my bio for more info on what you’ll need and how to make these personalized mugs for your loved ones.

What would you stuff inside your mental health mugs? I may have eaten some of the chocolate already.

ºoº let’s go on a road trip! ºoº

We had the most magical time at @disneyonice, the Moana Wayfinder experience was sweet and a great start to the evening with a little snack, craft and some one on one time with a couple fave Disney friends.

The show? As always, incredible! You can expect to see so many fan favourites and incredible, jaw dropping talent on the ice. We may have gasped more than once at some of the acrobatics! The Road Trip Adventures show takes fans on a journey through some of our favourite iconic disney locations, including London with Mary Poppins, Motunui with Moana and Maui, and much more.

Tips for the show:
ºoº arrive early if you’re wanting food/souvenirs as the lines can get long
ºoº glow sticks are a must!
ºoº dress up, looking at the adults too!
ºoº you can bring in snacks/drinks, but @tripleosrestaurant is open as well, as well as lots of other food options
ºoº come prepared to dance!

The show is only here until November 27th so if you’re hoping to catch the magic make sure to grab your tickets asap!

Who’s your favourite @disneyonice character? You can find mine at the end of the reel!

STEM Gift Ideas ✨

Sharing one of our absolute favourite gifts for pretty much all ages of kids with @incredible.play & @natgeo. STEM toys are always a hit on Christmas morning in our house, it's something that can be opened and enjoyed throughout the day and something we often get involved with as well with A. She's old enough now to tackle the kits on her own, but we love seeing what she finds and creates with each kit. The best part? The kits are affordable and can make for great after-school play as well!

A few of our faves are:
✨ Gemstone Dig Kit
✨ Break Open Geodes
✨ Science Magic Instant Snow
✨ Build Your Own Volcano

Not only are these kits get for exploration, but they can also accompany homeschooling curriculum or fill some rainy day inside time. Each kit comes with clear instructions, accessories, and whatever is needed to complete the kits. Whether you have a geology- loving kid, one who's into dinosaurs, or just loves seeing science in action, there's a kit for everyone (including me... I love the Crystal Garden one!)

Discover more kits in the link in my bio, happy discovering!

Have your kids discovered the National Geographic kits yet? Do they have a favourite?

🎅 has landed at @metropolisatmet! //

We had so much fun welcoming Santa to the grand court with wonderful friends in tow. This year, guests can enjoy a reservation system to avoid lengthy lineups with littles to visit the big man after his 2 year hiatus. I suspect he’s going to be a popular man this year.

Photos are by a $10 donation with proceeds benefitting the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, with other charitable ways to get involved like enjoying the gift wrapping station with proceeds helping the Burnaby Neighborhood House and toy drive in partnership with Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society!

We have so many wonderful photos from Santa in the grand court and we’re so glad to see him back! Make sure to secure your reservation spot soon as popular days/times will likely go fast.

Have you seen Santa yet? 🎄 (and yes, we totally saw him in our Christmas sweaters with a snowman alongside! ⛄️)

Osmo Magic ✨

We have been @playosmo fans since we first discovered their coding kits at a free library event a few years ago, not only was A hooked on the interactive exploration games but I was also hooked on watching her take these games and learning to the next level!

Newly added to our Osmo collection is Pizzo Co. - nothing says preteen learning quite like gearing them up for their first job right? Kids aged 5-12 can enjoy filling orders, sorting and distributing change, and keeping their customers happy in this hilariously fun game. Join food enthusiasts like Llamar, the first Llama foodie influencer, as they share their favourite pizza toppings (and least favourite!) and work on creating your dream restaurant with earned upgrades.

All in all? Super fun game, until you get a fussy customer... then you might make the face on the very last slide! 😂

Discover Osmo Pizza Co + other titles to add to your collection in the link in bio.

Take a sneak peak inside Beast’s castle just in

Take a sneak peak inside Beast’s castle just in time for the big party! The @beautyandthebeastbar immersive cocktail experience is such a fun way to spend the evening. Guests are treated to a new way to experience the theatre, interactive cocktail creation and the chance to have a hand in saving everyone... by solving riddles!

We had so much fun exploring the space that had previously been designed for Peter Pan, I may have gasped a little bit at how incredible the makeover to the space was for the Beauty & The Beast theme.

Tickets are on sale now, with family friendly options running from 1:00pm-2:30 on weekends. Some days/times sell out quickly, so if you are hoping to visit for a holiday party, book fast! Make sure to also take this opportunity to dress up, not only is Victorian dress welcome, it’s encouraged!

Have you had a chance to experience the immersive theatre at the @vancouveralpenclub yet?

What’s behind the seemingly normal door on Victo

What’s behind the seemingly normal door on Victoria Avenue in Vancouver? The @vancouveralpenclub is transformed once again by @hidden.vancouverca into a whimsical, intimate space full of wonder!

@beautyandthebeastbar is officially open and running until January 22, 2023! Fairytale loving guests are transported to the Beasts castle with one task… break the curse, or be stuck sipping bespoke cocktails forever (oh no!)

Victorian dress is not only welcome, but encouraged! Tickets include a sweet treat from our favourite @punkrockpastries and 2 bespoke cocktails (with a non alcoholic version as well) and a 90 minute immersive and interactive theatre show that will have you not only giggling, but also using your thinking cap as you tackle riddles to help everyone escape the curse.

Such a great option for a date night, friends outing or even a holiday party, they put on a fab show.

Have you experienced one of their immersive cocktail experiences yet?
