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. Want to chat? Say hi! -- hello@bcmom.ca

What's the most Canadian thing ever? I'd have to say grilling in all temps and seasons. Mother Nature sure gave us a run this year from hail and wind storms to random dumps of snow and you know what? It didn't stop us! Thankful we had the Saxony Grill Gazebo to help us out though, a little cover is always nice.

The @backyarddiscovery Saxony Grill Gazebo boasts:
* 29 gauge steel roofing
* can withstand 100mph winds
* can withstand 2,284 pounds of snow
* 5-year limited warranty
* heat barrier that can lower your heat transfer by 20 degrees!
* easy to read instructions
* sidebar space for stools
* electrical ports & usb stations
* ample table and prep space
* sturdy, stylish design

If your yard needs a makeover, consider grabbing one of Backyard Discovery's many products from playhouses, gazebos, lawn accessories, and more to create the backyard oasis of your dreams.

Use code TARA15 for a 15% sitewide discount just in time to create the beautiful space of your dreams in time for Spring & Summer. We can't wait for family BBQ's!

The Easter Bunny is already hard at work, did you

The Easter Bunny is already hard at work, did you know he’s basically a professional chocolatier? That’s why when @purdyschocolatier was getting ready for Easter, they called in the very best to help them choose a special Easter box — Bunny’s Choice! Filled with the Easter bunnies favourite sweet treats, turns out that him and I have some similar faves. 🐰

We had so much fun sampling the chocolates (the mango is to diiiiie for) and visit with some special @rabbitatsrescue sweet babies at @bunnycafevancouver! This incredible cafe partners with the local rescue to help these sweet babies find their forever homes. Book a time slot online and enjoy an hour visiting with them, feeding their favourite little snackies and giggling as they inevitably steal your lettuce cups! They are sneaky sneaky ones. It was so therapeutic sitting with them, they are so soft!

Bunny’s Choice is available at your local @purdyschocolatier and makes the perfect addition to Easter baskets; host gifts or… just for yourself (trust me, you’ll want one too!)

What’s your favourite @purdyschocolatier treat? I’m a sucker for the Himalayan pink salt caramels.

Tis the season of hybrids and electric cars and we

Tis the season of hybrids and electric cars and we're loving the chance to compare them. @HondaCanada hooked us up over the holiday with the Honda Accord Hybrid Touring and really, what isn't to love about it? ⤵️

* Hybrid Powertrain
* Efficient Gasoline Engine
* Aerodynamic Design
* Advanced Transmission
* Eco Assist System

These factors, combined with Honda's reputation for building reliable and high-quality cars, make the Accord Hybrid a great choice for drivers who are looking for a fuel-efficient, comfortable, and versatile vehicle. With a sleek and roomy interior, it's comfortable enough for long road trips and errands alike.

Have you, or are you considering a Hybrid or Electric car next? What's on your radar?

TODAYS THE DAY! Natures Ninjas opens today at @van

TODAYS THE DAY! Natures Ninjas opens today at @vanaqua! Visitors will have the chance to learn more about some of the coolest animals that have unique ways of protecting themselves in the wild. From Barry the sloth who hides up high, to the three banded armadillo who mimics a toddler trying to be put down, to much much more! I loved the space and may have joked that I’m going to work from the bench with Barry the sloth as my new coworker.

The new exhibit area is huge with lots of room to explore, and lots of interactive displays to touch and learn more about our newest visitors. There is also an amazing team of handlers who will eagerly answer any questions you may have, and they know it all!

This is hands down my favourite activation to take over this space and I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! ⤵️

Running now until September 4th —> 🦥 tell Barry Allen I said hi!

Did you know that the past couple of years have se

Did you know that the past couple of years have seen the most demand in terms of families needing support? Between @foodbanksbc, @surreychristmas & @lmcbureau they are seeing so many families needing help. If you know me, you know that my heart is always focused on giving, and I absolutely can't handle kids not having Christmas.

Liv and I raided our gift closet this week to gather up anything that we could let go to help make another childs Christmas. I generally stock the closet with items I find on clearance throughout the year, or extra products brands send us (we so appreciate you!) and stash them away for donations and gifts. So thankful this year that we were able to donate a big pile of cool science and STEM gifts, lots of books, and some fun board games.

I grew up very poor, and we depended heavily on Food Banks, Christmas hampers, and the kindness of others. It isn't lost on me the privilege I have to be in a position to give back and I am so thankful for it.

This is such a busy time of year for so many, and the season of giving can be quickly lost in the hustle and bustle, if you see a moment to give back and are able, please join me in paying it forward.

<3
