VOTE!

canadian federal election cupcake toppers by FrostandFete

well kiddies... it's election day here in my fair nation. 
a chance to get out there & exercise our democratic freedom.

i always LOVE election day. regardless of the results.
we're so lucky as canadians to be able to handcraft our world and choose our leaders.

and you know something i especially love about voting now as a mommy? taking our little one to every kind of election voting. we've done that since he was born.

what a joy that is. such a great opportunity for discussion and to see the excited look on little rikrak's face as he talks (oh so wisely) about democracy and the electoral process at such a little age? inspiring!

how do you feel on election day in your neck-of-the-woods?
let the fun begin!

  1. My kids like to come along on voting day, my daughter (1) loves being in the booth, like a little fort, and my son (3) likes to put our ballot through the scanner. Good for them to see the freedoms which they are fortunate to be entitled to.

    I took my niece with me voting yesterday. It was great. Kids make it seem all that more important, don't they?
