In early May we asked you to nominate your favourite Vancouver mom blog for our fourth annual Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers contest. You came through with over 240 nominations, naming more than 60 fabulous Vancouver-area mom bloggers. We reviewed them, we visited the blogs, and we deliberated over our decisions. It wasn’t easy, but we’ve narrowed it down to just 30. We believe you’ll be just as impressed as we are by the strength of the writing and the diversity of topics coming from these bloggers. This week we’ll be presenting the 2013 Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers to you, in no particular order. Today we’re happy to share our third set of six.

Top 30 Vancouver Mom Bloggers: 13-18

Carrie Mac of Carrie Mac Writes

top 30 vancouver mom bloggers carrie macCarrie Mac is an award-winning novelist, storyteller and artist, and an East Van mama to two sparkly little kids. Esmé is four, and Hawk is 19 months. She’s married to Jack, also sparkly in her own butch, tattooed, Harley-riding way. They’re a homeschooling family who loves to travel. Carrie’s publisher wishes that her blog would be more about the craft of writing, but it’s not. Instead, she writes about attachment parenting, homeschooling, and all the various adventures that she and her family gets up to. There is a lot to do with writing in there too, being that so much of her inspiration comes from her life and experiences, but mostly her blog is a love letter to her family. Her passion for photography shows in her photo-heavy posts, as does her interest in child-led learning and attachment parenting in all it’s varied forms. Perhaps her other job as a paramedic serves to shine a light on all the scrumptious goodness there is in her own life, because her joy and appreciation for life is obvious to her blog readers. She finds and celebrates the magic in the everyday, and the beauty in the ordinary.

Anupreet Sandhu Bhamra of SandhuBhamra.com

top 30 vancouver mom bloggers anupreet sandhu bhamraAnupreet Sandhu Bhamra writes, “When I landed in Vancouver, newly married, a decade ago, I was thrust into multilayered narratives of being a wife, immigrant, person of colour, woman, journalist and later, Canadian citizen, and mother. With time, these narratives intersected with the bigger, profound question of finding my real Self. In 2010, post the birth of my second child, I took a break from an active journalism career, became a full-time parent and intensified my Yoga practice. Two years later, I gave voice to my internal conflict of finding Self, and launched SandhuBhamra.com after my double last name, which is the first band of my layered identity – one of birth and the other of marriage. I deconstruct identity in the framework of being a woman, who is defined by intellect; being a wife and mother, who is defined by love; being a person of colour, who is defined past the skin tone; being a Canadian, who is not the hyphenated “Other” and lastly; being a human being who can connect with the yogic wisdom of inner Consciousness.”
