**Hey, hello Reader!**

​

When my husband and son challenged me to create a [**Canada Day / Fourth of July**](https://stephiethehappymom.com/amember/product/can-usa-pocket) version of my previous app as my new product (can’t believe it was only last weekend!), I didn’t want it to be _only_ a fun little seasonal project.

Because yes, it celebrates two neighboring countries.
Yes, this product likely wouldn’t have been created at any other time of the year.

But what you’re really doing isn’t celebrating a date on the calendar.

You’re sparking curiosity.
You’re discovering quirky facts.You’re challenging assumptions.You’re laughing when everyone confidently picks the wrong answer. 😂

And those moments don’t suddenly stop being fun on July 5th.

​

In fact, the more I think about it, the more places I imagine people using it.

☔️ A rainy summer afternoon.
🚗 A family road trip.🏕️ Camping.🏫 A geography lesson.👵 Visiting grandparents.👨‍👩‍👧 Family game night.

Or simply one of those moments when someone says…

_“Bet you didn’t know this…”_

​

That’s actually one of my favorite parts about creating experiences.

They often start with one occasion…
and quietly find their place in everyday life.

If you’d like to explore it for yourself, here’s how I put it together:

🍁 **Pocket Edition** _(FREE)_

A ready-to-customize Canva template with 10 printable guessing games and PLR rights.

⭐ **Explorer Edition, $9** _(regular $17)_

An AI-powered app that generates unlimited Canada vs. USA guessing games, educational
reveals, and printable coloring pages.

Everything it generates comes with PLR rights, so every new game is yours to be 
part of a new printable activity pack.

🚀 **Creator Upgrade, **— +**$19** _(regular +$27)_

Already thinking about your own spin on the experience?

The Creator Upgrade unlocks the editable remix version of the app so you can customize,
rebrand, and sell your own version.

Use coupon code **NEIGHBORS** through **July 5.**

And one more thing…

If you have an audience that loves printables, educational resources, family activities,
or creative PLR, I’d love to welcome you as an affiliate during **Border Celebration
Week**.

🤝 [https://stephiethehappymom.com/amember/aff/signup](https://stephiethehappymom.com/amember/aff/signup)​

I think your audience might have just as much fun with it as my family did.

​

Happy Border Celebration Week!

**_Pssst…._**

Funny how one little family challenge turned into a product… and then quietly reminded
me of something I’ve been saying a lot lately:

**Experience first. Creation second.**

Maybe that’s why this one feels different.

**NOTE:** I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project.
Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications,
or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much
easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

**Disclosure:** From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would
include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid
when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would
recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when 
buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!
