Discovering Parenthood

Life as we know it since becoming parents

A little thank you and some tea or coffee {Giveaway}

  ·   Category: Uncategorized   ·  

20141011_101843I started blogging with the encouragement of friends who recommended it as a way to share about what was going on in our lives as a family, and to sort through all of the emotions that come with. I love the way that it can be like a running journal of our journey as a family, documenting what is going on and sharing big and little moments. At first it was family and friends who followed along, then it started to grow. You all shocked and blessed me when I found out that I was named the Top Mom Blogger of 2014 at VancouverMom.ca

I am very thankful for those who take the time to read my blog, and share my posts. While my blog may not be anything fancy, it is exactly what I want it to be. I consider the opportunities to do reviews and giveaways blessings. I love when the opportunity comes to be able to share things I love with all of you, and for you to have the chance to possibly win in a giveaway.

As a thank you for helping get my blog to 600 followers on the Discovering Parenthood Facebook page I want to do a giveaway for all of you. There will be 2 winners, yes two! Each winner gets to pick either a Tim Hortons, Starbucks, or Davids Tea giftcard valued at $25, my gift to you. Plus we all know mom’s and dad’s can use a good cup of tea or coffee every now and then.

I am a huge tea fan and will often stock up on my favourite tea, Cream of Earl Grey, from Davids Tea. I’ve even got my mom hooked on it now. Tim Hortons is of course your Canadian destination. I will always remember going to Ontario to visit family and there being a Timmys on every corner at a four way stop. They sure love their Timmys out there, and I cannot blame them with how much I enjoy a cup of french vanilla coffee, or a maple dip doughnut from there. Then we have Starbucks. I eagerly anticipate for pumpkin spice lattes to be available, and then for the special red cups to arrive. I know the count down to the holiday season is on when those red cups show up! Plus you can’t go wrong when you get a chai tea soy latte with a pump of vanilla from Starbucks. *highly recommend if you have not tried it!*

Please enter, and please continue to follow Discovering Parenthood and share our posts. This is my little way of saying thank you! Enter through the rafflecopter giveaway link below. Good luck everyone.

    Been following since forever! My favorite part is everything. I love peeking into your lives and seeing what you get up to, in the least creepy sorta’ way 🙂 Your family is beautiful.
    I’m no doubt a TEA FAN!

    • TamaraG says

      I would have been concerned if you did not say you’d like a Davids Tea gift card. I would have been calling to see if you were feeling sick. Thank you for your constant love and support! <3

    Thanks for the giveaway!
    Not sure how long I have been following your blog, but probably 6 months or so. I actaully discovered you on Twitter first. I really enjoy reading your blog. It’s very down to earth and I enjoy reading about all the adventures that you take as a family.
    I am a coffee drinker. Usually I just make it at home, but the Starbucks card would be a great treat.

    I have been following you from the beginning :), and for that matter even before your blog and for pretty much your whole life!! I like Timmies, more for the prices than the products, but I LOVE Starbuck PSL and Caramel Macchiato…mmmmmmmmmmm – I think I need to get me one of those tomorrow 😉

    I haven’t been following very long, but I’m looking forward to finding out what you have in store for us! I love your weekend in pictures section. It looks like you guys have a lot of fun and it’s a great way to catch up with you quickly! As for tea or coffee…both!! I have a whole wall unit stuffed with teas and coffees. I drink a mix of both through the day and probably average around 6 – 8 cups between the two!

    I just discored this blog. I love the 3 of them and it really depends on the mood and what I would like to drink. Coffe at Timmie, lattes at Starbucks and teas at David’s.

  35. Linda says

    I’m a new reader as I am expecting my first baby. I find the reviews the most helpful. I’m a fan of David’s Tea.

    • TamaraG says

      Congratulations Linda on expecting your first. I will have to keep it in mind that you like the reviews. Is there anything specific you would love to know about or see a review on?

    • TamaraG says

      Welcome Stephanie. Thank you for joining in on the fun at Discovering Parenthood. I am a huge David’s Tea fan. I’m currently very sad because I need to restock.

  43. Gina A says

    I have just discovered Discovering Parenthood! 🙂 Looks like a lovely blog! I love both coffee and tea, but tend to drink more coffee. I would go for the Starbucks card as I work close to one – but I do also like David’s Tea!

  45. cheryl hodgkins says

    I just started following you … love my triple triple at timmies and believe it or not I have never had coffee from Starbucks

    • TamaraG says

      Welcome Cheryl! I can’t believe you have never had Starbucks… I’m impressed, and amazed! Random fact… my maiden name is similar to yours, just minus the s.

  47. mrdisco1 says

    have not been following for long so i’m still learning about the site
    i’m a Tim’s tea fan

  48. ZJ says

    A friend recently introduced me to your blog so I haven’t been following long.

    And I like both coffee and tea and so I like all three companies. Though if I could choose, I’d pick Davids’ Tea since it generally offers different things compared to Tim Hortons and Starbucks.

  50. Mommy Bwyn says

    I have been following for quite a while now, and love the updates! I am definitely a fan of Tim Horton’s above all 🙂 Starbucks is a special once in a while treat though.

  54. Georgia says

    I love Discovering Parenthood. Been a fan since the beginning because you’re a good friend. I love hearing about Everly and the sweet things she does.

  56. Tiffany Wilson says

    I’ve been following for about two weeks and just realized last week that I know you from my work! lol. I love coffee, Starbucks for sure. 🙂

  57. Heather Lynne (@raisingmemories) says

    I recently discovered your blog (we’re both Canadian Mommy bloggers 🙂 I love when you share photos of all those moments in life as a Mom 🙂 I don’t drink coffee or tea, but I LOVE hot chocolate & have been dreaming about Starbucks’ peppermint hot chocolate lately! 🙂
