Yes, I’m PR friendly! I’m a Vancouver-area mom blogger and professional writer who loves sharing stories, ideas, and products that make family life a little easier, more fun, or more meaningful. Through The Koala Mom, I connect with moms looking for practical advice, family-friendly activities, books, products, and services that fit into their everyday lives.
I’m always happy to hear from family-friendly brands that want to share their stories with my readers.

A Writer First, a Blogger Second
My background is in writing and storytelling. I’ve been writing stories since I was ten years old, and I hold a B.A. in English (2006) and a B.A. in Writing (2014). I’ve also worked as an editor, so I know how much the little details matter. Nothing distracts from a good story quite like a misspelled word or a misplaced comma!
I’ve been blogging at The Koala Mom since August 2006. Over the years, I’ve shared stories about motherhood, family life, homeschooling, books, and the products and experiences that make life with kids more enjoyable. My goal is to create content that feels genuine and useful to other moms, rather than simply putting a product in front of them.
I’d love to tell your story, too.

Please note that The Koala Mom is a family-friendly blog for primarily North American moms. I do not accept promotional partnerships involving gambling, CBD, AI, dating, or essay-writing sites. I also do not offer bulk rates.
