Christmas Glow lights up Abbotsford

December 10, 2019 by Sarah 14 Comments

Christmas Glow 2019

Christmas Glow first launched in Langley back in 2017 (you may remember our Harvest Glow experience from last year). Two years later, Glow’s become one of the world’s largest indoor Christmas festivals, brightening up 10 cities in three countries! This is easily one of my favourite events of the season... I know... I think I say that about every holiday event we attend … [Read more...]

Leon’s – Not your Grandpa’s furniture store

August 21, 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

What comes to mind when you think about furniture shopping? It's likely one of two things: Ugh, hours spent walking a huge, yet stuffy showroom with some salesperson chasing you down insisting you need this couch that just so happens to come with a free T.V. if you buy today. or No thanks! I pay-and-pray from the comfort of my own home thanks to online shopping. Sure, … [Read more...]

6 tips for an epic Abbotsford Airshow experience

August 10, 2019 by Sarah 18 Comments

Growing up, our family had a few undying annual traditions. A weekend pass at the Abbotsford Airshow was one of them. My brother and I loved watching the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, and I especially loved checking out all the trade show vendors. With a budding aviation enthusiast in the big kid, I knew this was the year to pack up the family and carry the tradition on to … [Read more...]

Sometimes life is simply about being in the right Sometimes life is simply about being in the right place at the right time 📍

It was a little bit of both for me today. The amazing weather and warm temperatures called for an early dinner and a walk to the park with all four kids.

A slow shutter finger meant the fun moments from this evening will be saved to my mind camera roll as the big kid says, instead of the iPhone camera roll 💕

Today is #siblingday, who knew?! My brother is se Today is #siblingday, who knew?!

My brother is seven years older than me (and I make a point to remind him of that on the regular!) I always knew I wanted my kids to be closer in age than he and I are, but now having had baby B 11 years after my youngest I now know how much of a gift I was to my brother 🤣🤣

In all seriousness though, happy sibling day big brother!

11 years. 11 years is how long ago I received thi 11 years.

11 years is how long ago I received this Easter dress as an gift from my grandmother for my oldest daughter.

I always knew I wanted more kids, so I hoarded it away with a few of my other favourites in case my dream ever came true. 

Today, baby B donned her big sisters first Easter dress for a pandemic-safe backyard Easter egg hunt. 

I’ve tirelessly searched for a photo of Smalls in the same dress but it’s alluding me. I will find it, so stay tuned for a side-by-side. 

Hope you had a safe and hoppy Easter! 🐰

She’s pissed I wouldn’t let her win! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you that are counting, we’ve now booked two private arcade dates for our family and I’m pretty sure there will be more in our future! 🕹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@industryarcade is just more than a stones throw away from my house, and they’re a true display of how a business can pivot during uncertain times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Located in a warehouse in New Westminster, families can book two hour private rentals of the entire arcade space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Industry Arcade is mostly pinball machines, but you can find some great retro and not-so-retro games that you will surely kill some time at. They also have Skee Ball which is one of my personal faves and I spent more time than I’m willing to admit attempting the high score for a free beer ticket from @anotherbeerco. I don’t drink, but I’m all for bragging rights! Another time I suppose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a change in scenery, I highly recommend booking a private session! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a pinball fan?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else get excited over a new lunchbox? 🍱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No? Just me? Ok, nevermind then! 🤦🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up this @munchkincanada box the other day because who doesn’t need another lunchbox 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s cute, colorful, and has a soft exterior feel. The clasp is easy to unclip which will be great for increasing toddler independence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today’s lunch contains meatball sticks and @heinz_ca ketchup for dip dip dipping (have you seen my stories of baby B dipping her foods? 🥰), steamed veggies, a heart-shaped hard boiled egg, oranges and blackberries, rice crackers, a @squeazygear smoothie and @preschoice fruit, veggie and oat bar! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can now shop this lunch from the link in bio!
