Today’s Vancouver Mom: Tamara Goyette

I am married to the love of my life, Jason. We have two wonderful little girls, Evie who is 3, and Addie who is 3 months. I started blogging after our oldest was born, but I also work as an educational assistant. Growing up I lived in Burnaby, Aldergrove, and Langley. My husband and I currently live in Surrey and love our little community that is constantly growing. There’s lots in our area within walking distance, but we don’t mind driving to go explore places with our kids.
Tamara’s favourite places around town
4Cats Art Studio
We love going here for different art activities, and there are many locations.

Our favourite place to explore, and discover different sea creatures.

Tynehead Regional Park
This park has walking trails, and a great loop for kids to use scooters or strider bikes on.

The best swimming pool for lessons or drop in swimming. We’ve taken my daughter there since she was 6 months old.

Greater Vancouver Zoo
Go for right when they open and are feeding the animals, you will get to see lots of them. It’s a great place to walk around, and take photos too.

Is a very special park with a fairytale surprise thanks to all of the fairy doors and houses hidden in the park.
