Top 10 Posts of 2015

This year has been a busy year for my blog. In May, I was nominated one of Vancouver’s Top 30 Mom Bloggers by VancouverMom.com. In June, I changed my blog name from the Koala Bear Writer to the Koala Mom and updated my logo, URL and social media channels.  In August, I celebrated nine years of blogging. I also started an email newsletter and joined Instagram.
