The Mid-Autumn celebration has kicked off at @lans

The Mid-Autumn celebration has kicked off at @lansdownecentrebc and you won’t want to miss this weekends events!

To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in line with the folklore of the Jade Rabbit on the moon, Lansdowne Centre welcomes real furry rabbits from our friends at @rabbitatsrescue as part of education on abandoned rabbits, a continued problem in Richmond (and other cities). The event runs all weekend – September 23 (Saturday) and 24 (Sunday), 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (Open to public with activities by donation)

🐰 Entry is $5 per person to meet the bunnies
🐰 Free crafting station
🐰 Professional photo opportunity by donation
🐰 Shop bunny themed gifts
🐰 Take part in the riddles cleverly hidden in the lantern tunnel

@rabbitatsrescue and many other rescues rely heavily on public donations and support, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the sweetest little buns, and maybe even adopt one! There’s lots of staff on hand to ask all your bunny questions, learn the names and habits of the ones you’re visiting and how to help with bunny rescue.

Hop to it! You’ve only got one day left! If you miss it though, you can still visit @bunnycafevancouver for some 1 on 1 bunny snuggles.

Alternative health options are a vibe.. Or in this

Alternative health options are a vibe.. Or in this case, a hive! [ad] Loved receiving our package from @drbeecanada in time to tackle back to school germs. Internationally acclaimed, local business @drbeecanada is at the forefront of supporting our bees and our health with the help of their bustling hives.

Honey bees are not only responsible for helping us with pollination, straight from the hive honey products can also help with building yours and your children's immune systems, stock up on antioxidant powers and boost your energy as well as brain function, all with the help of our little buzzing friends! Bee pollen has been shown to help with allergies, bee propolis has been used for generations as an immune defense, and so much more.

We’re adding Beestrong Superfood Honey to our daily mix over here, having a child with emetophobia can make meeting nutrition goals challenging all around. With high quality ingredients including 100% Pure Canadian Honey, Omega-3 Extract, Royal Jelly and blueberry extract, one serving can help A meet nutrition goals without too much stress, and bonus? It tastes delicious (I tried it, I should know!)

Passport having besties if you’re looking for a

Passport having besties if you’re looking for a short local family trip that is sure to have the kids proclaiming “best vacay ever” you won’t want to miss @greatwolflodge! 🌊

We ended our summer vacay with a last minute 2 night stay at the Grand Mound Lodge location, high expectations were had friends, my kid set the bar high! Happy to report that not only did GWL meet and exceed the kids expectations, the adults had a blast too!

Located around 4 hours outside of Vancouver, Great Wolf Lodge boasts a 56,000 square-foot indoor water park, a one of a kind Magiquest experience, Moonstone Mine, Oliver’s Mining Co., Howlers Peak Rope Course, Northern Lights Arcade AND A BUILD A BEAR WORKSHOP to name a few of our fave things!

Extra Lodge Perks:
🐾 Starbucks located right downstairs, on location!
🐾 A stocked gift shop for all the things you may have forgotten, or all the souvenirs you want to take home.
🐾 8 different food/drink service spots, enjoy sit down meals or grab and go and rush to the waterpark, whatever fits your family vibe best!
🐾 Daily and nightly activities for the entire family including Yoga Tails, Hustle & Howl Dance Party, character appearances, arts & crafts and more.
🐾 Newly renovated, spacious rooms.
🐾 Holiday themed events and decorations, including a Trick or Treat trail!

When I tell you this place is like Vegas for kids, I’m not exaggerating. We had such an incredible time! We highly recommend budgeting for Pup, Paw or Wolf Pass, which not only gives your family access to attractions throughout the Lodge, but also helps kids plan their days and get to experience the fun attractions throughout the Lodge.

We’re already planning our next trip back for when all of the Lodge renovations are finished, and the new MagiQuest game is launched! 🐾

Have you been to GWL? What was your family’s favourite part?

There’s still a bit of summer left and if you’

There’s still a bit of summer left and if you’re looking for a must-do experience to end summer you definitely need to check out the @cypressmtn Eagle Coaster! Cypress has been our second home many winters for skiing/snowboarding and snowshoeing, but the Eagle Coaster may very well be my new favourite.

Enjoy a scenic chair lift ride up to the top of the mountain and hop in the mini coaster to soar down the mountain at up to 40km an hour! We recommend grabbing an early time slot so you have time to enjoy the ride at your own pace and without a big line. An early spot also means you’re likely to see some wildlife on the ride up, we had a heron visit, lots of deer and many eagles. It was stunning! We also definitely recommend purchasing the 2 ride pass, once you’ve tried it for the first time you’ll be eager to try it again, but faster!

👉🏻 Things to know //
- Tickets must be pre-booked online
- The course is 1.7kms long, depending on your speed it’s about 5-10 minutes.
- You can speed up to 40kms an hour, just be sure to leave space between you and other carts.
- Kids 8 years or older and 4’1” or taller can ride alone and they will likely abandon you at top speeds (speaking from experience)
- There are no washrooms at the top of the chairlift, so make your potty stops before hopping on!
- The 2 ride pass must be used back to back, make sure you head right back up to the chairlift to ensure your ticket doesn’t expire.
My kid is already asking to go back, we might squeeze in one more trip before back to school!

Have you ridden the Eagle Coaster yet?

this is 41. I celebrated my birthday quietly, re

this is 41.

I celebrated my birthday quietly, relishing family time and quiet peace. If you had told me 10 years ago that I’d finally understand that everything I feel is valid, that my weird quirks made me uniquely me and that I’d lean into that weird, I’d have scoffed.

These past few years have seen the universe put people in my path that have affirmed my weird, that have made me feel at peace, loved and safe being authentically me.

It isn’t lost on me how fortunate I am. I am so thankful for every single year.

Hoping this year also brings you peace and love. ♥️

It's supposed to be full on summer next week with beautiful high temps and sunshine! [ad] If you're looking for a way to beat the heat, we can't recommend hopping down to Confederation Park in North Burnaby for #SummerStages more.

Located centrally in North Burnaby, Confederation Park has a wide grassy area with picnic spots, live music running Tuesday-Friday, a big splash park and playground, running track and so much more. Lots of shade, lots of ways to cool down and enjoy live arts and music performances while you're there!

Next week's lineup is sure to be fun with musical experiences and ventroloquist's performing, and August 22-25 you can pop down for magician shows, puppet theatre, music and dance, comedy theatre and much more. If you, or your family love experiencing arts and music, you'll love this just as much as we did! Pack a picnic, bring a blanket or chair and settle in for the afternoon from 12-2 daily Tuesday-Friday until August 25th.

Full event details + more happenings in and around Burnaby in bio. We hope to see you there!

Have you visited Confederation Park yet?! ⤵️
