Vancouver Pet Lover Show celebrates animal and pet lovers from all across Vancouver and the lower mainland.

If you weren’t already a pet lover, well now you’re going to be! The Vancouver Pet Lover Show is back at the Abbotsford Tradex next weekend, February 24 – 25th, for another year! This year, your family dog can try the Paws on Activity Area where you can bring your pet and have your training questions not only answered, but demonstrated with your pet right at the show.

Over the past few months I have been struggling with what kind of meals to make for myself and my two year old son. To give you a bit of perspective, I am a horrible eater and could survive on coffee and some crackers for the entire day. On the other hand, part of my bad eating habits have rubbed off on my son (who refuses to eat half the time). Also as a single parent I am not one to buy a ton of groceries just to have them in the fridge when more then half of them will probably go to waste and or won’t even get eaten just for the sake of trying to cook for one adult and one child.

Connecting Communities & Giving Back

Galentine’s Day is a day to connect women within our communities while celebrating being women of influence and giving back. The evening will be an opportunity to celebrate the amazing women around us while using this influence to do good. We know that good people will be eager to celebrate with us and support Matthew’s House.
