Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
During her panel at Blissdom Canada, the amazing Jennifer Reynolds, Editor-in-Chief of Canadian Family magazine put out the challenge to those in attendance to submit a pitch for a 700 word article that she would pay a dollar a word. Everyone was very excited. I immediately started mulling and note taking. However, life jumped up […]
When we first spotted the ads for Zoobles on TV, we all said ‘aaah Bakugan for girls!’ This made my daughter happy. She was even happier when she received her first Zooble as a McDonalds toy (ah marketing!). When I told her there was a Zoobles game available to check out for Nintendo […]
So our family is really getting a bit paranoid and jumpy. It really does feel like every time we have some good or peaceful moments, moments when we laugh and shine, along comes something new to totally kick us in the teeth.

Patrick had been feeling quite scarily unwell at the beginning of the week and apparently while I was away at Blissdom. The week then was filled with him trying to figure […]
I can’t believe it is the Wednesday after the conference already. I can’t believe I made it, survived and had fun…and now it’s back to reality. Diego is shrieking in the background and the house is the usual mess. Home sweet home. I love reading post conference wrap ups and analysis, even when I haven’t […]
Tomorrow I get up early and head to Toronto for Blissdom Canada. I am quite excited about this. Anxious too. I haven’t been away from all my babies since 2008 when I ventured to BlogHer in San Francisco. I am quite anxious about my little Tara not being around me. BlogHer was a […]
