Guys, spring break for grade schools is coming up pretty quickly. This year my family has decided to go to Mexico and I could not be more excited to get out of this dreary weather that we are having on the west coast right now. To get in the holiday spirit I thought that I would share some of my Beach essentials. All of these essentials are super easy to pack for traveling, exept maybe one…hehe…

My 6 Snow Day Essentials
Hi friends, today I wanted to share with a snow related post with you since it is snowing at my house right now! For the past few years is hasn’t snowed much around Abbotsford for a few years and that has made it feel less like christmas. Now with the snow is starting to feel like christmas! I want to share with you my snow day essentials.
- Snow Boots. Good quality snow boots are a must because if you have wet toes it definitely puts a damper on the rest of your day.
- Snow Jacket. You really just want to limit the chances of getting cold. If you can’t find a good winter coat take a good sweater a layer a rain coat on top!
- Cute toque(beanie for all you non-Canadians). The head is one of the places that loses heat fastest so it is always a good idea to have something to keep your head warm. I also sometimes like to where a winter head band even though they are not as practical.
- Warm gloves or mittens. With gloves and mittens, mittens will keep your hands warmer but gloves are easier to use if you need to use your fingers. Also a good thing to keep in mind is if you gloves or mittens can open your phone while on.
- A good photographer. Someone to catch all those fun and special moments in the snow. It doesn’t have to be a professional either, It could be your mom or dad, a friend, or even a sibling
- Hot coco for after. Something to warm you up after you have been laughing and playing in you winter wonderland!
I hope you enjoyed this post, don’t forget to check out our other recent posts. Until next time, xoxo Vienna <3

Get Out and Do Something
Recently my family went to Banff, Alberta and while we were there, we shopped (DUH) and explored. My family loves to exercise so we biked into town a lot and did a few long hikes. Since the weather is nice and there are quite a few mountains in BC where I live, I thought I could tell you some great essentials for your family activity 😉
This picture was taken at Lake Minnewanka in Banff.
- snacks- my family loves sunflower seeds, granola bars and fruit
- gum- you never know when your breath smells bad!
- guides- you might need a map or guide book to get around
- light sweater- for those chilly breezes
- water-bottle
- sunscreen&sunglasses
- bug spray
- bear spray- it’s better to be safe than sorry!
- camera- the views are breathtaking
