Lynn Jatania
Lynn is a mother of three and she's determined to make them explore every last corner of Ottawa, even though they'd rather be playing video games. She's been blogging at Turtlehead since 2004, where she runs the Summer of Awesome movement and shills for her annual Blog Out Loud live event. Her favourite spots in town include the Museum of Nature, Saunders Farm, Mont Cascades (summer and winter!), and the National Gallery.
