Me time: Moms with cool hobbies

(page 2 of 9)

Shannon Ward lives in Canada and took up surfing at the age of 34 after having her son.

"Surfing is the perfect hobby for me because it is a great workout but is also incredibly stress-relieving. In order to surf, you must be able to live in the moment, and that means shedding all your worries for a while. It is also important to me to be in touch with nature. Every time I come out of the water, no matter if it was a bad surf session or good, I am a better person. This makes me a better mom too. I believe that having children is the best reason to pursue your passions because it sets a great example for them to not be afraid to live their dreams and to do whatever it takes to make them come true."
