He is never one to do anything hafway and i9s now intent on being the best dad ever, he takes to the stores and buys how to parenty books and recipes from pinterest. if anyone who can swing it, its sean, starting October 3rd at 6pm EST/9pm PST.




The Biggest Loser: Second Chances Tuesdays
The worlds most famous and effective trainers, Jillian, Bob and Dolvett, are back for season 15 of the most popular weightloss show on television.
This season is about second chances and we could all use a second chance once in awhile, with many new twists added to this competition.  One twist, which I think is a fabulous idea is that each trainer will have one chance during the whole competition to save an eliminated contestant from going home.  Another bonus for the trainers is that they get to help in the contestant casting process as they get to identify people they can help in an accelerated capacity.
Follow along this season doing your own biggest loser challenge, the website and episodes will be a very helpful tool along the way.  The weightloss journey starts October 8th at 5pm EST/8pm PST.


 


Dracula Fridays
Set in the late 19th century, a mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He is especially interested in the new technology of electricity something that is useful for someone who avoids sunlight. His intentions on moving back into London is to seek revenge on those who condemned him to a life of immortality centuries earlier. But his plan seems to take him in a direction he thought imaginable as he becomes infatuated with a women who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

This sounds exactly like The Vampire Diaries, which is why I will probably fall in love with this show instantly! Watch as a legend is reborn October 25th at 7pm EST/9pm PST.

Explore.Learn.Experience. ~ The Vancouver Aquarium

Thinking of what you should do this long weekend?  You need to buy your tickets and go to The Vancouver Aquarium!  This is a great way to spend quality time with your family and loved ones!

I had the pleasure of spoiling my niece and nephew there last Thursday and we had so much fun!  There is so much to explore, learn and experience!  The Vancouver Aquarium offers something for everyone!

This summer, The Vancouver Aquarium is featuring the Penguins and the Jellyfish.  These are two MUST see exhibits!  


You MUST go and check out the newest addition to The Vancouver Aquarium which is the African Penguins.  These little guys are so neat to see in person and they have daily penguin walks through the Beluga Whale habitat.  With an interactive learning presentation, you are sure to walk away knowing a little more about these birds than you did before you arrived.
Come by this weekend and watch these little guys waddle around learning new behaviors, experiencing the sights and sounds and getting some well deserved exercise in.


Did you know that jellyfish are 95 percent water?!  Come check out the new exhibits and interactive displays of how a jellyfish hunts, eats, protects themselves, reproduces and much much more!
The jellyfish invasion is mesmerizing with over 15 different species of jellyfish you could spend all day staring at them!
























The Vancouver Aquarium has so much to offer with over 50,000 animals to see and learn about!   From dolphins to seals, to whales and otters and so much more!

Pack a snack for yourself and the kidlets and head to the Aquarium today!  Make sure to save room for lunch, as the food offered at the aquarium is amazing... I had the fish and chips and they were some of the best I've ever had!

Get there early to avoid the line-ups and have fun!
