The Great Canadian Blog Bash #Giveaway

I was so excited when I came across the post explaining what The Great Canadian Blog Bash was. I am new to blogging this year, and have found such wonderful people along the way! This event is such a great way for Canadians to connect with other Canadians, including some awesome Canadian companies! 

I never realized the importance of buying Canadian until I reached adulthood. I always just went for whatever is cheapest, but have grown to appreciate the work that our Canadian's put into their products. I want to support people here at home who pour their hearts into what they do!

That's exactly what Pinky & Company does. Run by a stay at home mom and her husband, Pinky & Company is an online baby boutique for stylish, high-quality designer baby bags, baby bedding, gifts for new moms, mealtime gear and so much more :)

Though they are a small operation, they are dedicated, and that's my favourite part about buying from a small business! They go the extra mile...or should I say kilometer.. for their customers in order to provide the very best service possible. They pack and ship your order within one business day anywhere in Canada! How much better could it get? 

Pssst.....They even have a clearance section for those of you deal lovers out there!

For those of you who like to think about how the products you buy impact the environment, they care too! Pinky & Company uses packaging materials containing recycled content. They also think locally, supporting local designers and manufacturers! 

You can follow our sponsor on their Facebook page and Twitter account.

Now, on to an awesome prize! The folks over at Pinky & Company have very generously offered one lucky winner their choice of the following three JP Lizzy bags: 

       

This giveaway, in light of celebrating Canada, is only open to my Canadian readers. One mandatory entry, take a peek around Pinky & Company's website and then come back and leave me a comment with another product you'd love to own. All others are optional.

Gotta Love Being Canadian!

This is my first year participating in The Great Canadian Blog Bash hosted by Whispered Inspirations, Mom vs the Boys, and Maple Leaf Mommy and I am so excited to be joining so many other Canadian bloggers in a 2 week long celebration of our Home!

 

Canada means a whole lot to me and I'm so excited that we celebrate our 146th birthday as a country on July 1st! It's a day for Canadians to come together in a celebration and represents different things to different people. To me, Canada represents freedom, multiculturalism, snow (lol), and a proud set of people! I think of our flag, our Canada Goose, our Canadian companies and the Canada Day celebrations that happen all around the country!

Did You Know?
My favourite thing about Canadian Geese is that they are monogamous creatures. Once they find a mate, they stay with them for life! Also, the female chooses her mate. ;)

When I think of the Canada Day Celebrations I think of the fireworks displays all across the country! The one they put on here in Winnipeg has gotten better over the years, and I can only imagine what it's like in Ottawa! This year is extra special because our daughter is old enough to come and enjoy the fireworks too. I'm curious to see what she'll think of the loud noises.  How did your kids react to fireworks when they first saw them?

Happy Canada Day to all those Canadians out there from my family to yours!
