Today’s Vancouver Mom: Bonnie Way

I’m a stay-at-home mom with four daughters, ages 8 to newborn. We live in New Westminster and just celebrated our first year here. I have a B.A. in English (2006) and a B.A. in Writing (2014) and have been blogging for 9 years. When I’m not blogging or homeschooling my daughters, I enjoy rock climbing, reading, and drinking lattes.
