Over the past year, I have had the great opportunity to connect with many of Vancouvermom.ca‘s 2012 Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers. We have formed friendships through our writing, a facebook page we created (and post to constantly throughout the day), and by planning playdates and dinners out together. The “Top 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me” is a post that a few of us from the group decided to do together and publish simultaneously.
To check out some of the other mamas’ Top 5 Things, click on the links below their pictures. Have fun!
The Connection We Share // The Thirties Grind // Nat Nanton
Little Miss Mama // Mumfection // Mama Papa Bubba

Thank you to Haley for designing my Top 5 image for me! Check out her Facebook page to learn more about this very creative chica!

Thank you so much for reading!

- Just had the most indulgent Monday morning at the @willowstreamspa at the @fairmontpacific . We had a milestone birthday to celebrate and we did it in style. Ps watch for my upcoming stories as I’ll be sharing more about our stay- our room... ooh la la.
- Breaking up the regularly scheduled programming to share this exact feeling in time. ❤️ @jamesducommun
- September has been a WHIRLWIND! With back-to-school for both the kids (and my busiest month of work to date ), it has all been so exciting but I also feel like I’ve been pulled in about a million and one directions. It’s these times, more than ever, that I know I need to carve out time for ME. My all time favourite way to unwind is in a hot bath. Add wine and a delicious treat like @smartfoofcanada , and I’ll be in there before the tub is even full. Many of my personal friends have witnessed my love of popcorn
- We’ve just wrapped up a couple of really fun trips where it has been all work and not much sleep but, for the time we actually do spend in our hotel rooms, we’ve got some essentials that we love. A good book, a sleep mask and a hot coffee can’t be beat. ( @thefamilyjewelsblog literally can’t sleep without a sleep mask- AND a sound machine ) Swipe over to the next image to see some of our other @chaptersindigo favourite picks for a cozy weekend in or away. @studio86design #IndigoWeekend #IndigoFaves #adventuresofjessandsam #rlspartner
- GIVEAWAY We’re ready for you, Victoria fashion-lovers. @thefamilyjewelsblog and I are here and sooo excited about the big event at @uptownvictoria . We spent all day yesterday choosing our favourite Fall looks from Uptown which we’ll be showcasing tonight at the uptown x fashion event. The event sold out (!!!) in 24 hours but... over on the Uptown feed RIGHT NOW, you can win 2 tickets for you and a friend to attend! See you lovely ladies tonight! @studio86design #partner #uptownxfashion #adventuresofjessandsam

March 28, 2013 #3 Authorboth hubby and I HATE clowns like HATE them and I have a gf who literally ran away screaming from one leaving her kid in the dust once. thankfully she was with a group of friends so her daughter was fine but I don’t think she could have ran away faster, even if she was on fire….

April 5, 2013 #4 AuthorEschelle, I have run away from one (a drunk creepy one) and left my husband in the dust. What makes it so embarrassing is that we were on one of our first dates. My fear of clowns came out very early in our relationship hehe.

April 5, 2013 #6 AuthorHmm… maybe we should get all dressed up so we can start on our second hand! Maybe I’ll make 2013 the year of high heels! 😉

March 28, 2013 #7 AuthorThe clown thing – so funny. I gotta understand this phobia. Do you feel threatened by them? I’m thinking of my fear of heights, I feel like I’d get hurt if I fall. So what is it about the clowns? Do tell.

April 5, 2013 #8 AuthorNat, I think it’s because of the face makeup and I feel like they are hiding something. I also had a scary encounter with a drunk clown late at night and it made me feel deceived by the overly-happy ‘nature’ of clowns!

March 28, 2013 #9 AuthorOh, Jess – you know I’m with you 100% on the clown front. They are just plain creepy. And I totally hear you on the music front… My days are filled with all kinds of munchkin-friendly songs, but I would love to spend more time listening to ‘me music’. Our new running challenge will be a great opportunity for it!

April 5, 2013 #10 AuthorGlad I am not alone on the clown front! Haha! Running challenge… right! Better get on that! 😉 Do you use Songza on your iPhone?
