'All you need is love, WIFI, & a good credit card.' 💙📶💳⁠ ⁠ Especially when that card works for YOU. As an adult, I have always been conscientious when it comes to credit cards. The reality is that they are essential.⁠ ⁠ Specifically, if you love to travel like us.⁠ ⁠ If you haven't read my post about 'Ways to Save Money as New Homeowners,' (you totally should 😊) you'll see that this is one of my tips. ⁠ ⁠ Luckily, Costco offers a @capitaloneca Mastercard. There is no annual fee, so you don't have to pay to use it!⁠ ⁠ PERKS:⁠ ⁠ ◼ It doubles as a Costo Canada membership. 2 in 1.⁠ ◼ You can earn cashback ANYWHERE. Not just Costco.⁠ ◼ You earn back 3% on restaurant purchases, 2% on gas purchases, 0.5% on the first $3,000 you spend annually on all other purchases, and 1% after that.⁠ ◼ You're always covered with their protection services, warranty and more.⁠ ◼ Travel perks like car rental insurance, travel accident insurance, baggage delay & travel assistance.⁠ From experience, I always say to have an emergency fund. ⁠ ⁠ Especially if you are a new homeowner. Money may be tight since you just invested a lot in a new home. ⁠ ⁠ A card with cashback can help you save towards that. If you're all good on that front, you can use that extra cashback from your everyday purchases for travel. ⁠ ⁠ Because, why not?⁠ ⁠ I think you'll always be in between saving and spending on the things that make you happy. ⁠ ⁠ Make sure you head to Costco or go Costco.ca to apply to get one. Let it work for you! What would you do with the cashback? #ad #CapitalOneCA⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #CostcoCanada #CostcoMember #CostcoFinds #thesearethedays #oureverdaymoments #truemotherhood #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #motherhoodunplugged #mytinymoments #nothingisordinary #momentsofmine #happylife #creativehappylife #creativityfound #dontquityourdaydream #liveauthentic#liveintentional #livefullyalive #shoppingislife #newhomeownertips #homeownertips #hometips #cashback #costcodeals #costcowholesale #smartshoppers #livetotravel⁠

'It's shop-o-clock somewhere!' 🛒✨⁠ ⁠ Having girls, one of our favourite things to do is go shopping. While we want to buy all the things, I've always taught them to shop smart. It's actually one of my biggest pieces of advice I can give to them and to anyone. ⁠ ⁠ Click the LINK in BIO for ways to save money if you're a new homeowner. (You'll find shopping smart is one way! 😜) I'll also be sharing how @capitaloneca makes it even easier to shop smart by getting cash back!⁠ ⁠ Making wise shopping choices can be easy. It just takes a little planning and researching. You can clip coupons or you can buy in bulk. I prefer the latter. That's why I love my Costco membership, it pays for itself over the long run.⁠ ⁠ They have a variety of merchandise from home furniture, outdoor living, appliances and more. Plus, you can get all the essentials like cleaning products, kitchen supplies, and food. ⁠ ⁠ You can find some amazing throw blankets, pyjamas, and let's not forget those delicious rotisserie chickens and so much more.⁠ ⁠ Plus, they offer business services for small business owners, a pharmacy, installation services, and an optical department. All under one roof. Do you shop at Costco? #ad⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #CapitalOneCA #CostcoCanada #CostcoMember #CostcoFinds #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood #motherhoodinspired #oureverdaymoments #truemotherhood #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #littlebellows #livesimply #celebrate_childhood #runwildmychild #motherhoodrising⁠ #motherhoodunplugged #mytinymoments #nothingisordinary #momentsofmine #happylife #creativehappylife #creativityfound #dontquityourdaydream #liveauthentic#liveintentional #livefullyalive⁠

'Home is the starting place of love, hope & dreams.' 🏠💙⁠ ⁠ One of the biggest accomplishments and investments you can make in your adult life is buying a home.

'Take away my money, throw away my time.' 🎶✨⁠ ⁠ She said she is not only channelling our hero MJ but, she is channelling her other hero, @mjthelegend_, Jalles Franca. She recently saw him in Las Vegas and was blown away by his show! She said this year she is going to be the LIVE Dangerous MJ and next year, she will choose another iconic look. I love that MJ's music and talent transcends time and generations. A true sign of a great! It's time to trick-or-treat! Stay safe out there friends, Happy Halloween! #Halloween2019⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood #YQG #motherhoodinspired #michaeljacksonstyle #oureverdaymoments #michaeljacksonking #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #littlebellows #michaeljackson #runwildmychild #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksonlover #windsoron #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksondance #momentsinmotherhood #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksontribute #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #omaginsiders #whispersinspire

'The girl is so dangerous...' 🎶✨⁠ ⁠ Of course, she has to bust some moves. Even in the rain! I know that in some parts they are cancelling and postponing Halloween but, we are going out!

'She's so dangerous...' 🎶✨⁠ ⁠ Happy Halloween! This year, only my little is going out trick-or-treating. Gabby is done and had a good run all these years. Michaela wanted to be her idol and channel the King himself, Michael Jackson. Specifically from the live Dangerous performance on the HIStory tour in 1995. I think she's pulling it off. Have your kids ever wanted to be something different for Halloween? #Halloween2019 #MichaelJackson⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood #YQG #motherhoodinspired #michaeljacksonstyle #oureverdaymoments #michaeljacksonking #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #littlebellows #celebrate_childhood #runwildmychild #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksonlover #windsoron #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksondance #momentsinmotherhood #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksontribute #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #omaginsiders #whispersinspire

'I love Fridays like Kanye loves Kanye.' 😂⁠ ⁠ And you know that that it is A LOT. ⁠ ⁠ Seriously though, nothing like a nice latte on a cool night. After a long week, I am ready to unwind and enjoy the weekend. It's supposed to rain but, hoping that changes. Doing some shopping, taking the kids out, and mama wants to go to the spa for a facial. What do you have planned for this weekend?

'We ain't picture perfect, but we worth the picture still.' 🎶⁠ ⁠ How often do you take pictures of yourself? I'll be honest, I am much happier behind the lens not in front of it. I am trying to change that, so you might be seeing this mug more often. Honestly, look back 10 years and you'd have found a million selfies of me before they were even called selfies. Literally all the same with just a millimetre head tilt of a difference. You guys know what I'm talking about, right? Right. No? Just me? Maybe. 😂 ⁠ ⁠ So, I figured, why not take a selfie & you caught me on a day that I put my contacts in. ⁠ ⁠ Let's get to know each other better, I'll share 4 totally random things about me and instead of a 5th one, I want to know something about YOU. ⁠ ⁠ Let's do this!⁠ ⁠ 1. I have an obsession with @adidas (especially shoes), they can take all of my money. 💸⁠ 2. When I was a kid, I had super dark brown almost black eyes. On my passport, they put black eyes. Over time, they got lighter to almost a honey brown. Don't ask me how. Age? ⁠🤷🏽‍♀️⁠ 3. I sleep with two fans, I'm always hot and I like the white noise. 😜⁠ 4. I believe in living each day to the fullest. I almost died when I suffered from a bilateral pulmonary embolism. That's why I live every day with appreciation & an open mind. ⁠Live your best life!⁠ ⁠ Your turn! Tell me something about you!⁠ 💁🏽‍♀️💙⁠

'Every moment that is spent with family is worth every second.' 🕰️✨⁠ ⁠ In fact, they say that family is not an important thing—it’s everything. That is why we try to celebrate the special everyday moments as much as we can together. ⁠ ⁠ We eat a great meal together, have a cafecito, and just catch up on life. ⁠ ⁠ You know it's time to unwind when the coffee comes out. Catching up on all the chismes (gossip) and having tons of laughs.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by the bold, rich, and familiar flavor of @Nescafe Clasico, I made Coffee Tres Leches Cake. It's creamy, rich, and has just the right amount of coffee. ⁠ ⁠ SCROLL TO SEE THE COFFEE TRES LECHES CAKE ➡️➡️⁠ ⁠ I got everything I needed to make it at @Walmart, just in case you're wondering! You can either pick up Nescafe Clasico in-store or on Walmart.com with their online shopping.⁠ ⁠ If you're a coffee-lover, you'll be in heaven with this dessert. Let me tell you, it is always a home run. Grab the recipe in LINK in BIO.⁠ ⁠ How do you celebrate the everyday special moments? #NescafeClasico⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #oureverdaymoments #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #livesimply #tresleches #treslechescake #coffeecake #coffeelovers #recipeoftheday #foodgawker #thekitchn #huffposttaste #todayfood #foodforfoodies #vscofood #epicurious #eatmunchies #feastagram #lovetoeat #foodcoma #foods4thought #foodforthought #buzzfeast #myopenkitchen #foodislove #bestfoodworld⁠

'That’s the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up.' ✨🌠⁠ ⁠ That's the thing. Growing up is overrated and stressful. I like to hold on to a little bit of my youth and childish wonder as much as I can. I let loose at Disney and with that very same awe and wonder, I walk the super packed streets of Disney, without one single care in the world. ⁠ ⁠ Perhaps even a little more excited than the kids. ⁠ ⁠ Thus ends our Disney California adventure and as Mickey says, see ya real soon! What is one thing that you miss about being a kid? #DisneylandCA⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠#disneylife #disneygram #disneyparks #flosdiner #anaheimcalifornia #visitcalifornia #anaheimca #disneysmmc #mickeymouse #waltdisneyworld #disneylove #disneyig #disneystyle #disneymagic⁠ #carsland #celebrate_childhood #runwildmychild⁠ #disneyphotography #waltdisney #disneylandresort #disneycaliforniaadventure #happiestplaceonearth #whispersinspire #momentsofmine #lifecolorfully #adventureisoutthere #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood ⁠⁠ ⁠
