Hi mamas!
It’s been a week or so since I last posted Around Vancouver Town.
But it’s an exciting time!
Canada has won GOLD in women’s hockey, and in both men’s and women’s curling!
Happy days! Go Canada Go!
On another note…my family has been sidelined by illness (who’s hasn’t though this winter) and I’ve been laying a bit low.
And now with an ear infection I’m really not going out exploring as much as usual. I can’t think of anything worse than the pain of an ear infection. Now I know how our littles feel.
Anyway….
I did manage to check out the BC Home and Garden Show, which is the only thing on my list to do this weekend. Further to that, I’ve got two events for March that you can plan ahead for. Check back next week for more stuff going on Around Vancouver Twon.
Oh and did I mention all the GOLD Medals? Yeah!!

From home organization to real estate, local experts, and HGTV celebrities you’l get tips and expert advice on a wide range of home and garden topics. Watch, be wowed and walk away with ideas that are sure to refresh, renew, and restore a love of homes and gardens!
I managed to make it out the the media event for the BC Home and Garden Show on Thursday night to check it out despite how I was feeling. It was pretty quiet then but I’m sure it’s rocking now as there’s lots to see and do.
What’s awesome about this show is that you’ll little spots to put up your feet and rest, have a cup of tea or imagine what its like if you were to own that bit of paradise. And of course there’s a ton of booths on every topic to do with your home possible. Ah…I love to dream.
