OH, HELLO!

Hey friends! I'm glad you're here. Welcome to British Columbia Mom where we chat all things Metro Vancouver, share neurospicy parenting tips, reviews and so much more.

🗳️ BESTIES do not forget to VOTE! 👏

It took until 1960 for all Canadian women to win the right to vote. This was after decades of our ancestors fighting for that right for us. There’s no excuses anymore, your vote is important. Don’t throw it away. Not sure who to vote for? It’s a lot, I get it, you have time to review their platforms (you can find them online!) and find what aligns best with your views, values and goals for your community.

Advance voting is open now and polls close on October 19. You don’t need your voter card if it hasn’t shown up yet, ID with your address on it is also enough to cast a ballot, so make sure to GET OUT THERE.

You don’t get to complain if you don’t vote, those are the rules. 🗳️

Get together your friends, cast your ballot and then hit up @punkrockpastries for an empowering snack “it’s like a reward….” afterwards, everyone deserves a little treatsie.

Just had the ~spookiest~ evening hanging with the Shadow Society to kick off the #BurnabyHalloweenFest and you won’t want to miss all the fun happening this month!

Can you believe that I’ve lived in Burnaby for 15 years and this is my first time at @harthouserestaurant? Not the last! We were hosted to spine-chilling nibbles and an intimate cookie decorating lesson with none other than Hollie and her @punkrockpastries crew. I did not partake, I know my limitations, they would have looked like a toddler decorated them. 😶‍🌫️

Events to watch for:
👻 @pumpkinsafterdarkburnaby
👻 Monster Dash 5k
👻 Dagerpaatch @dageraadbeer Brewing Halloween experience
👻 Neighborhood Decorating Contests
👻 Ghost Hunt: Hauntington Manor with @bamboozledeg
👻 @jokerscanada Jokers Canada Comedy Night
👻 Bake it Spooky with @punkrockpastries
👻 Trick or Treating in The Heights
👻 Fireworks at Gilmore Community School

~~~ and SO MUCH MORE.

Love that my little neighborhood is included in the fun, we have the best Halloween events. Low key, I haven’t always wanted to share our little slice of spooky heaven, but we are on the path to being the ~spookiest~ Halloween destination and we’ve gotta share the fun.

SAVE this post so you don’t forget what’s coming! What event are you most looking forward to?

Did you know that @olympic_dairy is the only brand

* NEW HAIR WHO DIS? *

Dubbed “mermaid hair” by all of my friends, when I’m ready to take the scissors to my locks it’s BIG because trims are out and hair donation is IN.

Every time I cut my hair, I lovingly package it up to send off to @wigsforkidsbc and the last 2 times I’ve been so fortunate that the team at @mystiquehairdesign have been the ones at the helm of the scissors. From start to finish, the experience feels luxurious with a sweet treat, drinks & good company (with the best senses of humour!) — @tashaatmystique took on my transformation, and @nicoleatmystique took on Livs and we both left with the freshest styles!

Want to win a hair makeover for yourself? Our friends at Mystique Hair Salon want to give one lucky follower a $100 gift certificate to use towards services and getting the style of YOUR dreams!

HOW TO WIN //

✂️ LIKE & SAVE this post
✂️ COMMENT with if you’ve ever donated your hair!
✂️ TAG a friend (unlimited, 1 tag per comment!)

🎉 The countdown is ON! If you're still looking

🎉 The countdown is ON! If you're still looking for something to do this weekend, there are just 2 days left until the White Rock & South Surrey Culture Crawl. You're in for an epic celebration of creativity running October 5-6! 🌟

Get ready to dive into an amazing lineup of over 25 venues bursting with the talents of musicians, artists, storytellers, and more. This isn't just an eventᅳit's an immersive experience you won't want to miss with your families, friends, and art lovers alike. If you've been here awhile, you know that my kid is ALL about the arts & music, having been involved in piano and voice lessons since a young age after visiting a local neighborhood studio for a tour when she was little. And art? That was picked up after walking on Artist Row. 🎨

Go on an unforgettable adventure as you dive into a world of eye-opening tours and captivating historical exhibits. Experience thrilling theatre, and groove to live music while unleashing your creativity and diving into a whirlwind of fun by trying out new crafts, exploring different instruments, and soaking up the vibrant culture of the Peninsula through free drop-in activities (with a few ticketed performances).

What would be YOUR first stop on the crawl? 🎭🎶

📣 birthday cakes are OUT & cinnamon buns are IN 📣

Celebrated the best birthday indulging in the gooiest, moistest and diviiiiine cinnamon buns ever all decked out for birthday celebrations.

@groundsyvr has legit changed my “I’ll bring dessert” game for the foreseeable future, these indulgent buns are the perfect wow factor and trust me… everyone will want seconds (including me 🤣)

I got the birthday buns obv, but they are also known for their fruit covered cinnamon buns and the OG, smothered in delicious cream cheese icing that made me wish I had a line right to their machine. Gimmmmay the icing!

Anyway… because we love buns, and so do you… keep an eye out for the sweetest giveaway coming so you can try these too! Would YOU share your buns? 👇🏻

Being the husbands ride to pickup his new car came with stipulations. He had to find me a @mcdonaldscanada that had the @crocs toys. A happy meal for breakfast? Yes.

I’m so bummed the 3 I really want aren’t in Canada. 😒

Anyone else love the tiny toys? I swear this drop was entirely for the adults.

How do I have a HIGHSCHOOLER already? She’s the coolest teen around! 🎉 [ad]

High school can be a wild ride, especially for neurodivergent kids dealing with new schedules, schools, and friends. So, we came up with a fun solution: an “anxiety transition bag” packed with goodies to help when things get overwhelming.

With a little help from @cricut, we had a blast designing custom zip bags using infusible ink and layered iron-on. It’s a quick, easy project that’s perfect for beginners. A designed hers with a cottagecore, mushroom, and forest vibe.

Not into those? Here are some other funny options she loves:
🍃 Anxiety is my flex
🍃 I might be the people, but I don’t like the people
🍃 The forest is calling & I must go
🍃 Please don’t ask me questions

Create your own bag with your teen and make an afternoon of laughs and creativity. Plus, use my code bcmomdotca10 to snag 10% off at cricut.com! #cricutmade

What would you use as your anxiety bag slogan?

DATE NIGHT // thanks to @bactouring for the amazin

DATE NIGHT // thanks to @bactouring for the amazing night out to enjoy award-winning show Come From Away! 🌟 There’s a reason Canadians have a reputation for being “nice” and Gander, Newfoundland is a huge part of that reputation. Welcoming an expected 7000 passengers during one of the most unforgettable world events, Come From Away tells the heartwarming story of extraordinary acts of kindness, hospitality and compassion while navigating high emotions. Come From Away celebrates the unforgettable spirit of humanity and the power of community in the face of adversity.

If you’re looking for a date night idea, I can’t recommend catching Come From Away at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver enough! Running from September 10-15 with multiple shows daily. This is one Canadian story you won’t want to miss! 🎭❤️ #baccomefromaway
