I'll jump in first, seeing as there's so many of us vying for a place... lol
I'm Jess, I'm from Abbotsford, have an 8 year old DD and a 2 year old DS, and a wonderful DH that I totally appreciate who works very hard so I can be home with our babies.
Our favourite place to hang out in BC is probably either Victoria or Harrison Hot Springs. We haven't had the opportunity to do much "exploring" around the province, but hope to as our kids get a bit older.
