On this Mother’s Day Weekend, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate all the mamas out there.  It is no easy feat being a Mother and yet it’s been made more challenging as we’re now 1+ years into this pandemic.  I hope this weekend you are celebrated and thanked for doing the best but hardest job out there.  Heck if you get a sleep in, a hot cup of coffee and 10 minutes of peace that sounds great as well.

Today, I thought I’d share some of my top 10 favorite mompreneurs whose businesses you can check out and support.

	Shannon is the founder of Sourdough School House.  During the start of COVID, baking became a favorite past-time and if you want to learn how to make the perfect Sourdough and some other yummy treats look no further.  She provides online workshops so wherever you are in the world you’ll be able to bake from the comfort of your home.
	Jillian is the owner of Fresh Face Pilates.  She teaches Face Yoga and Pilates as a holistic approach to anti-aging and wellness and shares some fantastic tips to make you look and feel younger.  And if you’ve never heard of Face Yoga then check out here Instagram feed to learn more.
	Val is a busy mom of 3 who I recently started Real Estate collaborations with.  She’s full of energy, meticulous in her work and gives it her all when helping families in the Lower Mainland find their perfect home.  She’s there to take the stress out of the process and make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
	Paula is the founder of ME beauty which is an awesome little clinic near Granville Island.  I’ve personally had the opportunity to try out her services which had my skin glowing so much in the weeks after that people were asking what I had done differently with my skincare routine!  If you want to give your skin a spring cleaning or transform your eyebrows and eyelashes then she is might be the esthetician for you.
	Chane is a virtual assistant that helps ambitious business owners streamline their business processes, stop feeling overwhelmed and conquer their goals.  If you need help with video editing and social media content she’s a fantastic resource.
	Jacquie is a coach with a lot of heart.  She has a designed a program for women who are looking to prioritize themselves without disrupting their families and other commitments.  If you need some guidance with creating an effective mindset, a doable self-care plan and some new positive habits she’s a good woman to have in your corner.
	Brielle is the founder of Essentials eco.  When COVID hit and she found her career of 10 years in hospitality and events end with a jolt and suddenly a full time stay-at-home-mom she decided to do some research on ways to help protect the planet for our future.  Her company was born out of a desire to make these first steps easier.  Essentials eco is a quarterly subscription box filled with eco-friendly products so that you can start introducing safe, clean, eco friendly products into the home and daily routine without having to throw everything out at once.
	Gennette is a mom who I met through my son’s school.  She is the epitome of a mom-preneur owning not only 1 but 2 Shopper’s Drug Mart’s and while it’s a “brand-name” store…each drug store is independently owned and operated by a pharmacist.  Until I had met her, I didn’t know that.  If you’re headed to a pharmacy anyways why not head to one of hers?!  She has a location downtown & at Champlain Square.  Plus she’s over-the-top generous in supporting her school community and giving back!
	Courtney another busy mom of 3 helps the rest of us busy moms and families with holistic nutrition and healthy meal planning!  If you’re always wondering what to cook every night then a session with Coco’s Family Kitchen might be the ticket.  She’ll provide you with daily recipes, weekly menus and a grocery list so you’re prepped for the week ahead.
	Reagan is founder and Co-Visionary for Pink Tank Group.  Pink Tank is all about connecting, inspiring and motivating women around the globe.  If you want to read about some inspiring women and their stories check out their Features page for a dose of inspiration.

As for my LOVE-19 #4 Weekly Challenge Winner – congrats to Raichal P. a momma of 2 who won a $25 GC to Rain or Shine Ice Cream.  Incidentally the co-owner of this fab little ice cream shop is a mompreneur whom I met when Logan was only a few months old at a local baby group!

Kindest regards,
