Festive Rudolph Cupcakes (+ 4 ways to safely share them!)

It’s hard to believe that we’re finally into December and well on our way to ...

Posted by Tara Jensen Tara Jensen

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]

7 of my favourite green/zero waste laundry must ha 7 of my favourite green/zero waste laundry must haves!

🧺 Wool dryer balls not only eliminate dryer sheet waste, they combat static and lessen drying time. My fave are from @thegeneralbean, I’ve had them forever!

🧺 My fave stain sticks from @nelliesclean contain zero plastic packaging and help keep my kids clothes who im convinced rolls in the dirt at school looking cleaaan!

🧺 @attitude_living has both a completely plastic free laundry pod and oxygen booster (and they come in unscented!)

🧺 @charliesoapca though not plastic free (yet! I hope!) these laundry pods are packaged in dissolvable paper and are made with environmentally safe ingredients. They are one of few detergents I’ve found that can stand up to my husbands work clothes!

🧺 @truearthmovement plastic free laundry sheets are great for travel, one half sheet = one regular load!

🧺 Need a liquid soap? Shop @attitude_living and their bulk refills! Either refill a container you have, or dispense right from the box. Though not plastic free, they use 80% *less* plastic than their jug counter parts.

Living completely zero waste or plastic free is a privilege and we understand that, we hope we can share small swaps that won’t seem overwhelming!

These are just some of our favourite products, and ones we often! Do you have a fave on the list?

When it comes to daily routines; vitamins and supp When it comes to daily routines; vitamins and supplements are on the top of mine. A quick pop of the usual vitamins and then a mid morning @gardenoflife collagen sippy sip break.

Packed with probiotics and biotin it promotes healthy hair, nails and skin and bonus? It actually tastes great! I always get compliments on how fast my hair grows (ala mermaid hair) and I really think it has a lot to do with this one supplement I make sure is part of my everyday. I’ve tried a few different brands and found some *hard* to get down; but the Garden of Life cranberry pomegranate is seriously my fave!

Is collagen part of your daily routine?

Can we talk about extreme weather? From heat domes Can we talk about extreme weather? From heat domes, to wind storms, to flooding that all seems very uncharacteristic to what we are used to? The reality is, Wild Weather is here to stay. [swipe]

@aberdeen_centre wants to help those interested in learning more about the ever changing weather, how it impacts our communities, infrastructre and and eco systems learn more about it at - Wild Weather - in an immersive, interactive display happening July 1st - September 18th in the Central Atrium! 

Learn more through the science of weather how we're able to predict severe weather changes sooner than ever before so we can be prepared, educated and hopefully protected from the ever changing climate.

This is a fabulous display to accompany any conscious living or sustainability focus at home, how we treat our earth inevitably impacts what we leave for future generations.

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?

Come tour the inside of the @mazdacanada CX-5! One Come tour the inside of the @mazdacanada CX-5! One of my favourite vehicles in the Mazda fleet thanks to a luxury feeling interior, perfect space for my little legs and my husbands big ones, all the kids *and* all their gear!

Need to charge things? You’re good with charging options both in the front and rear seats, air conditioned seats (hello sweaty summer? We don’t know her), rear air conditioning and the perfect center console for accessing everything you need for a smooth ride. 

Need to hit up Costco? Pick up some random rescue furniture on the side of the road? Or hit up the mountains with snowboard; ski or camping gear? Split drop rear seats can help fit jussst about anything you need for your next adventure!

Who’s ready for summer adventures?!

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?
