Monique Les is one of my Love Rebel co-authors. Since writing her pieces for the anthology, she has had a second daughter and dealt with post-partum anxiety.

Give Yourself Permission to Not be a Perfectionist Parent
Since moving to Vancouver last year, I’ve often been asked, “Do you know Frances?” It seemed everyone in my Catholic mom circles knew this amazing lady. I was delighted to finally meet her in person (albeit briefly!) last week. Frances is the mom of seven kids and snatched a few minutes while her husband was […]
#LoveRebelMom and Blogger Melanie Jean Juneau
Melanie Jean Juneau is a fellow Catholic mom blogger whom I’ve only met via email. She’s one of the contributors of Love Rebel: Reclaiming Motherhood.

Being a SAHM Allows #LoveRebelMom Kirby Hoberg to Pursue Acting Career
Kirby Hoberg is a stay-at-home mom by day and a professional ballerina and actress by night.

Clara Campedelli is a mom of three whom I met through the homeschool community here in Vancouver. Today, she’s talking about her journey into motherhood and why she considers herself a #LoveRebelMom. So I encourage my fellow mothers to be rebels of love. Rebel against a culture which says that motherhood doesn’t matter… that raising […]
Love Rebel Mom Stories: because motherhood matters
When I go out with four children in tow, I’m aware of the eyes that follow us. At the grocery store, the swimming pool, church, dance class… wherever we go, I’m conspicuous for the four little pink figures around me. I tend to focus on them, feeling like a momma duck or a sheep-herder, rather […]
Behind the Blog: Anna from Just East of Crazy Land
Anna and I met through mutual friends on the Island. We both have lots of daughters and talk really fast, and connected instantly on our love of blogging and homeschooling (among other things). Then we realized that we’d both contributed to an anthology together… and this year we’ve had a lot of fun getting ready […]
