Meet the Contributors!

Savvy Sassy Moms is plural for a reason. 

From the very beginning I envisioned it to include a variety of Moms with unique voices, different backgrounds,  massive amounts of knowledge, creativity and each with their own individual style!   It was never suppose to be just about me, and I have been riding this Savvy Sassy train solo long enough.  So, without further ado… I’d like to introduce you to the newest Savvy Sassy Contributors!

  

In her former life, Andriana Spencewas the Public Relations Manager for a high profile fashion company in New York City.  After the birth of her first daughter she started Hank & JoJo, an eco-friendly children’s accessories company.

Sassy Fact:  I wear 3-4 inch heels anywhere, anytime, for any occasion. My friends are always surprised to see how short I actually am (5’2”) because I never wear flats. Even my flip flops have a wedge heel!

Sassy Fact:  When I was five years old, I got a jellybean stuck up my nose because I was trying to eat like an elephant. Let’s hope like mother like son is not true in this case, ’cause that’s one emergency trip to the doctor’s I’d like to skip.

Sassy Fact:  Something fun about me: I’m a closet gangsta – you’ll find more rap on my iPod than any other music genre. Coffee is my crack. On occasion I drink box wine…..because I’m cheap and a little bit trailer. 🙂

 

WandaI am a 32yr old sassy girl, with a great husband (that works hard so I can stay home and keep a closer eye on the girls) and two daughters (Paloma which is 8 and Kyra which is 4 years old). I love incorporating the girls into the kitchen to see what flavors and designs they come up with.  That’s why we came up with My Sweet Zepol (Lopez- backwards), which is my sweet family!

Sassy Fact:  I am a cancer patient since 2004 with 5 tumors being removed along the years.  I go to see my Dr. every 3 months, but have great faith that this cancer will go away and be just a reminder of not just to live but to learn how to live and be alive!  Ever since then I have made it a priority to love life and everything I do with mine. From family, to friends, to work; it’s important for me to enjoy them the fullest.

Sassy Fact:  I’m a band geek! 🙂 I started playing musical instruments in 3rd grade, continuing into adulthood. And, while being a “band geek” may not sound thrilling, it sure had its perks– like performing in 7 European countries, the Fiesta Bowl, and the “Granddaddy of them all”– Rose Bowl Parade & College Football National Championship game!

Sassy Fact:  A side effect of loving design so much is that I love fabric and paper. I collect them, maybe not on purpose, but every time I find something that inspires me my collection grows. I have an amazing husband who tolerates my habit.

Rumour I am a 30 something Mama to 3 Divas (Piper almost 5, Davilyn almost 3 and Quinn almost 1).  We live in Canada on the prairies.  I’ve recently returned to work and I am a Lawyer by day wearing suits and white Jackets.  When I return home, it’s jeans, yoga pants and t-shirts!  I am encouraging my girls to follow their dreams and right now that means I am spending my winter months at the rink watching my oldest play hockey.  In the spring you can find me cheering on the sidelines at the soccer pitch.  I am a Mamarazzi and love taking photos of my family.

Sassy Fact:  When it comes to music, I definitely like Top 40 but if you look at my iPod, I’m stuck in the1980’s.  If I had unlimited funds, I would spend my time hopping from city to city following Bon Jovi as they toured.  I guess I’m a groupie wannabe.
