Who is Hannah?

Hey there! I’m Hannah Spray, and I’m delighted that you found my little piece of digital paradise!

Right now I’m living life on a beautiful little island on the West Coast of British Columbia (that’s in Canada, eh).  I am an Early Childhood Educator, so I thought that my experience as a preschool teacher, special needs aide, and childcare provider would make motherhood a snap – I was so very wrong. It’s much different than being a teacher, but I’m giving it my best try and hoping to raise a great human.

I love to share my tips and tools for helping parents and children navigate their unique journeys in positive ways. Making sure that parents feel supported and positive about their role as the most important people in their children’s lives is a top priority for me.

I enjoy many hobbies and interests (thus, “The Big To-Do List”). You might find me knitting, writing, playing my guitar or ukulele, setting up an early learning experience for my daughter or preschool class, or photographing what inspires me. In recent years I’ve taken my photography hobby and turned it into a full-time business as a professional photographer, and this has been a fulfilling and unexpected experience. I love adventures, be it hiking, camping, boating, fishing, or traveling, and I’m excited to see where I’ll end up next.

Natural and healthy living is important to me. I love to support businesses that are eco-friendly, say no to toxins, operate by ethical means, and give back to communities.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Savvy Mom Collective, as well as a passionate contributor to Green Moms Collective and a proud part of the YMC community. I’ve also been published on The Good Mother Project, Huffington Post, UrbanMommies, and Parent.co.

I’m always interested in the other views and truths out there. If you have some thoughts you’d like to share on anything I have to say about anything, please feel free to let me know by commenting or connecting via email: [email protected]. I’m always open to other ideas and feedback!

Wondering how we can work together? My main focus these days is providing photography and videography services through my business for families, weddings, and businesses, and I am less focused on writing on this blog. That being said, I’m still open to considering an occasional product review or advertising placement here on this blog, or on my photography website.
