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

* G I V E A W A Y * Our friends at @safglobalwonders want to give 2 of our followers a chance to win not only a gift of back-to-school organization goodies but also the gift of supporting women.

Global Wonders is a non-profit organization that helps women who’ve escaped human trafficking and sexual exploitation by providing a long-term recovery program including housing, recovery, education, and skill development. They’ve created a haven to support the reintegration and support of women who have survived some of the most awful circumstances and give them the chance to heal and thrive in safety.

Every. Single. Bit.

The reality is, that this is happening on our very doorsteps and worldwide, women are exploited every single day and left feeling like there is no hope and no way out. Programs like Global Wonders through the SA Foundation aim to support those survivors, and you can help, even in the smallest ways.

💙💚 GO CANUCKS GO 💙💚

This new little love from @jellycat couldn't have shown up at a better time as we cheer on our local @canucks moving into game 6 of the series, we've got our eyes on a cup, and the Official Jelly Puck is coming along for the ride.

Right now, the Amuseables Hockey Puck is available as a Canada-exclusive at specialty retail stores throughout May with global rollout starting in June. He's the perfect little gift for your hockey loving friends and family, or to commemorate an incredible 2023-2024 season.

The official jelly puck has been my desk buddy for the past week and I simply cannot get over his little smiley face. Jellycat doesn't just make sports friends either, the Amuseables line boasts some of the most random and high quality collectibles that are some of my absolute favourites.

Do you have a Jellycat collector at home? Which is your favourite?

The visually-spectacular, over-the-top show pulls out all the stops to celebrate the occasion, with puppetry, drag performance, musical numbers, and audience immersion into a joyful hour of theatre for young audiences.

Musical theatre parents.. you aren't going to want

Musical theatre parents.. you aren't going to want to miss this chance for your kids to experience the very coolest @campcue! + an exclusive DISCOUNT CODE!

I've been following them for YEARS waiting for our kids to age into being able to go and we are FINALLY there! Can't wait for the kids to experience the magic of learning alongside industry professionals, self expression and finding even more joy in theatre. A has been in music in some form basically since birth, she's either listening to music, creating it, dancing or finding new favourite ways to express herself through movement. I'm so excited for her to get to experience this one of a kind inclusive camp for kids just like her.

Camp Cue is a not-for-profit organization founded on the idea that musical theatre doesn’t have to live within the confines of four walls. Distanced from day-to-day distractions, Camp Cue combines the experience of a pacific northwest sleep-away
camp with high-level musical theatre training from industry professionals in an accessible and exciting way, to inspire the next generation of young artists. Registration is open for campers aged 12-18 with a love of arts, music and dance, this is *the* summer camp for the cool kids, I don't make the rules!

Learn more at www.campcue.com and use code BCMOMDOTCA to save 10% off registration! Here's to a summer of memories. 🎼

M O T H E R S D A Y // have to say, @metropolisatmet knows how to make moms feel so special! We had a chance to experience their #MothersDayAtTheMet preview yesterday and goodness, they are the best!

Want to experience it yourself? Or have a deserving mama in your life who could use a little special time? Tickets are available for the May 11th event running at 12pm, 1pm, and 2pm in the grand court! Ticket holders are able to enjoy a similar experience as the preview event with light food, wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, a lively DJ, candy bar, an adopt-a-plant experience, gift bags containing a $20 gift card to The Met, along with plenty of door prizes – all in support of the @causewecarefoundation. Tickets are $40 each and children 11 and under are free (and did we mention the candy bar?!)

Honestly it was so lovely, I left with a full heart and a little plant from @heartcompany604 that I hopefully will not send to its grave. 🫶
