5 famous Canadian moms we love

Sure, Toronto-born, Calgary-based Rebecca Eckler gets help from a nanny with her daughter Rowan, and isn't exactly struggling to make ends meet, what with her successful fiancé and all. But you have to hand it to her, she's tackled some tough (one could say humiliating) issues publicly, in her books and blog. Dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, obsessing over pregnancy weight gain, falling for another guy while pregnant are just some of the no-holds-barred situations she's revealed about her own life. Not many moms would have the guts to tell that to the whole of Canada, let alone their own family members. Whether we agree with her decisions is irrelevant; we love that she makes us laugh about the unapologetic, crazy, tough, judgmental, rewarding world of motherhood. Check out her blog here.
