Jennifer is the blogger behind Prairie Girl in the City. Her days are filled with blogging, writing, running her online boutique West + Wind, and being a mom to her beautiful daughter Madelyn. She is passionate about curating relatable fashion content for the every-woman through my blog. Her daughter has been known to appear in a post or two and you may even find the odd recipe or home decor post in there as well, however, fashion is her favourite topic to cover. She believes we can still be stylish after children. Jennifer hopes to inspire women to elevate their everyday style and feel amazing in the skin they are in.

Rhonda Lee of Oh My Violet

Rhonda is the creative mind behind the lifestyle and DIY blog, Oh My Violet. She is a busy wife and working mom of two young girls. Her love for her family is apparent in the copious amount of kid pics she loves to post on social media.

She draws inspiration for her projects from kids, and her love of interior design, fashion, baking, and DIY.

Olivia Driediger of Posie + Pine

Olivia is the blogger and curator of Posie + Pine. She only recently started her website and blog as a place to bring together all my passions – writing, design, beauty, and mama things – into one pretty place. Olivia is mom to one, soon to be two babies, and lives in the Fraser Valley. As a busy mama, her blog has been a place to release some words and creative energy amongst the diaper changes! Olivia says: “I am so inspired by all the hardworking mamas in and around the Vancouver area and I am taking that inspiration and trying to spread it around a little more.”

Shannon Grochowski of Adventurous Mama

Shannon, blogger behind Adventurous Mama, says: “I’m learning every day, relying on grace, mama to three beautiful children on earth and three waiting for me above.” Most days you will find her soaking up the adventure that is parenting along with taking the adventures outdoors with her camera, exploring the beautiful place that is British Columbia. The quiet busyness of the forest is irresistible to Shannon which she hopes to instill into my children as they grow and explore together.
