20 years ago my first daughter was 2 years old. I was newish to Canada, and even newer to East Vancouver, and was thrilled at the abundance of new parent and baby programs available during a time of such personal and emotional flux. I made it my mission to get the word out through a print map, window decals for family-friendly businesses and a website. Mommy Map was born, and even thrived.
Here we are two decades later. Paper maps are mostly the things of fairytales, parenting has gotten way hipper, and conversations have gotten way more honest and nuanced about times of flux and family roles and dynamics. The word “Mommy”, in fact, is even somewhat outmoded. Yet here I tread, embarking in Mommy Map’s reboot as an app.
