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! -- [email protected]

Family board game nights are a must in our house f

Family board game nights are a must in our house for connection, nothing brings us together better than a little friendly competition and someone getting to annouce they won. 😂

As A has gotten older, we've watched her age out of some of our favourite family games and had to do a quick "restock" with some new challenging ones, bringing out favourites from when I was a kid (Mastermind!) and some new additions.

We're sharing 13 of our favourite family board games that even the tweens/teens crew will love on the blog today from favourite brands like @asmodee_canada, @rorys_storycubes, @bigpotatogames, @settlersofcatan and more.

Whether you're looking for an education, strategy or "just for fun" game, there's something on the list for everyone!

Does your family have a favourite go-to board game?

Does anyone else do their best work when the house

Does anyone else do their best work when the house is quiet? You know.. when the family is *asleep*? I know I do, I do my best work in the wee hours of the evening and early mornings!

I was so excited to get the chance to try the new @cricut_ca Bright 360 standing floor lamp! I love that it is easily adjustable from a seated position with a fingertip touch, that it has multiple cool and warm temperatures to choose from and the ability to dim it. I can craft to my hearts content with the light just where I need it.

I wanted our loot bags this year to be a surprise for even the birthday girl! I used the Cricut cosmetic bag blanks and layered infusible ink using the "paint splatter" image with iron-on vinyl on top. It was super easy! The hardest part was choosing the font out of dozens available. Ooof.

[[ SWIPE ]] to see how they turned out! I stuffed the loot bags with our fave treats from @smartsweets and personalized birthday party labels from @mabelslabels. I love giving a thank you gift that I know is going to be used and loved, and these personalized bags were well received by the parents! Just in time for summer camps, school and more to stash their treasures and treats in.

Do you like making loot bags? What's your favourite thing to put inside?

// How many throws are too many throws? Asking for a friend! It's Spring decluttering time and admittedly... some of these *gotta go* [ad]

Perfect timing though, seeing as on May 28th @diabetescanada is hosting another Curbside Drop Off Event! It’s a convenient way to donate stuff you don’t need & support Diabetes research initiatives in your communities. I really believe it feels good to not make trash, so by participating in a Curbside Drop Off event you're helping divert millions of pounds of textiles from landfills.

WHERE TO GO // May 28th from 9 am-12 pm.
🚗 Kelowna: 1940 Kane Road (IGA)
🚗 Abbotsford: 2323 Emerson Street (MSA Arena)
🚗 Nanaimo: 4166 Departure Bay Road (Diabetes Canada Clothing Collection Centre)

--> Roll up, pop your trunk with your clothing and small household items, and volunteers will collect the items and vroom, away you go!

For details on what is accepted, how your donations benefit valuable research opportunities, and more check out --> declutter.diabetes.ca #dcdeclutter

// you know it’s a good swag bag when it doesn’t even make it in the house before the fam starts digging through it! Last night we enjoyed the 4th sip & savour event with @hflvancouver & @wholefoodsbc and WOW….

I love that each event has a different assortment of delicious foods and drinks to try out, many of them plant based and from some of our fave brands! Each event has introduced our family to new favourites that we can easily find at our local Whole Foods.

>> swipe to see what was inside!

The next Sip & Savour date is already set to go so make sure to head over to @hflvancouver so you can be in the know for when tickets drop (they sell out FAST!)

What’s your fave goodie in the bag?!

🚗 VROOM //

Blue skies in our house calls for a drive with no destination. We may end up at a park, a friends house, the pool, who knows really? There's something to be said about piling into the car with good tunes playing and just enjoying the drive!

Our friends at @mazdacanada have us in the seat of a few vehicles this summer to try out to see what fits our family best and the CX-30 fits all *my* needs amazingly. This subcompact SUV is the perfect ride for someone who loves their hatch back (aka me) but also wants a bit higher of a ride (also me).

The top 3 things I loved about the CX-30:
🚗 Smooth, powerful ride. I live on the top of a mountain and the CX-30 was UP for the challenge. It's a speedy one.
🚗 Minimal distractions. The interior is designed in a cohesive way that limits visual distractions. No touch screens, but an easily navigated menu screen.
🚗 Fuel Efficiency. By using optimal distribution of torque and minimizing drivetrain energy loss, the CX-30 is arguably one of the most fuel efficient vehicles that wasn't a hybrid that I've driven. And let's be serious, if you're cruising with these gas prices... you need fuel efficiency.

What do you look for first when purchasing a new vehicle?

🌺 SPRING HAS SPRUNG C O N T E S T 🌺 Enter to win a $100 @urbanrootsgardenmarket gift card just in time to start planning your garden!

I love LOVE supporting local businesses and when I heard that Urban Roots Garden Market would be returning across from Playland, to say I was *excited* would be an understatement. I was even more thrilled to learn that this is just one out of 11 convenient pop-up gardening spots you can get your high quality garden additions.

Each Urban Roots Garden Market is armed with knowledgable (and passionate!) plant loving staff who want to make sure that your dream garden comes to fruition - and under budget. By skipping the middle man and buying direct from them, you can save money and support your local community and growers - and your local bee community.

What's one plant you ALWAYS have in the garden? For us, it's always lavender in every form.
