To Do List Avalanche Hazard Level: High

Despite enjoying all the inspiring presentations at Leading Moms on Wednesday, I've been feeling slightly uninspired when it comes to blog posts lately. Not completely--I've started a number of them--but I haven't got anything finished really, just a few more disjointed ramblings to add to my drafts pile.

It's not just the blog here, either. I often get frustrated at all the things that have been sitting on my To Do list for what seems like eons. Is it just me, or do you have an unfinished To Do list hanging over your head like a small, personal raincloud too?

At least I ticked a few things off the list yesterday. Here's one: get Sprout sunglasses.

Spider Sunglasses: $10 at MEC

Psst... Just in case you haven't yet today, could you click on the badge on the left there & vote for The Sprog in the Circle of Moms Top 25 Canadian Bloggers Contest? Thanks!

And the winner of the Leading Moms ticket is...

Jen of Mama Papa Bubba! Congratulations & see you at the event, Jen! If you haven't already clicked on the link to Jen's blog, you should check it out. She's got tons of brilliant ideas on neat activities to do with toddlers.

If you missed my earlier post about Leading Moms & are wondering what I'm talking about, here's the scoop. Leading Moms is a one-day event filled with thought-provoking personal talks, videos and presentations from our city’s leading moms. Read on for a coupon code to save 15% on your ticket.

The day starts off at the HR MacMillan Space Centre with a Nature's Path breakfast at 8:30am. All are welcome to the free Leadership Breakfast, including non-paying guests who just want to pop in before work or the start of their day. Pre-registration is required. Pamela Martin will MC the day & Premier Christy Clark is the keynote speaker. There will be a lunch/networking break & a fashion show following that, showcasing designs from Nicole Bridger's Fall 2012 collection, modelled by real moms. The day wraps up with a closing keynote by Fiona Douglas-Crampton, CEO of the Minerva Foundation for BC Women.

Something important to note about the event is that there will be onsite childcare, free of charge, provided by Nannies On Call. Another available perk, if you live in the Tri-Cities area or Langley, is a free shuttle service, sponsored by Chevrolet Canada.

Leading Moms is hosted by:

• Vancouver Mom, Vancouver’s top online magazine for moms who love where they live;
• Entrepreneur Mom Now Vancouver, a resource for work-at-home moms in their first five years of business; 
• Modern Mama, which hosts mom-focused events involving fashion, lifestyle and parenting – all with baby in tow.

I'm really looking forward to going, meeting some new faces & getting inspired by some of the presentations. A ticket to Leading Moms includes breakfast, lunch, free childcare & shuttle service from Tri-Cities or Langley if needed. You can save 15% off the regular ticket price of $100 if you enter the code LMSprog when you order your Leading Moms ticket here.
