So far 2015 has been a whirlwind of activity in my family’s life. Amidst all this running around, working, and day-to-day stress, it has become increasingly more important to pay attention the health of our family.
This is why, I for one, cannot wait for the 2nd annual Healthy Family Expo in Vancouver on March 29! The timing couldn’t be more perfect. As a parent I will of course be interested in learning more about ways that I can help my family stay in the best health possible, but I will also be extra interested to see what I can learn about my own health and well-being as I head into my second trimester of pregnancy.
There are so many amazing organizations and companies that will be at the Expo. If you come out, these are some of the over 100 exhibitors you will see:
- Bobs and Lolo (concerts at 11 am and 2 pm)
- Boomers & Echoes Kids & Maternity
- Discovery Toys
- GnuSanté Creations Inc.
- Hippie Foods
- Holy Crap
- Love Child Organics
- Naked Coconuts
- Ra Energy Foods Ltd.
- Young Living Essential Oils
In addition to the Bobs and Lolo concerts, which I’m sure Little Bear will go crazy for, there will also be an incredible Active Kid Zone equipped with a climbing wall, bouncing, giant hamster ball track, Tumbluebus, run bike area, baby crawl zone, and a family fitness area. I’m already planning for Arun and Little Bear to hang out there while I get a bit of shopping in at the Expo!
As if all the exciting vendors and exhibitors weren’t enough, there’s also some jaw-dropping giveaways happening! The Grand Prize Showcase is work $10,000 and includes a 1-year lease on a Toyota Prius C, and the first 200 attendees receive a free child day ticket for the Sea to Sky Gondola. Luckily you don’t have to wait until the end of March to win some great prizes. There will be flash giveaways daily throughout March on the Healthy Family Expo Facebook Event page, and you can stay connected to all the prizes, giveaways, and announcements by liking the Healthy Family Expo Facebook page, following them on Twitter or Pinterest, and visiting the website regularly.
