When my husband and I were trying for a baby…way back in 2007…it took us two long years to conceive our daughter. Two long years marked by two miscarriages and a lot of heartache. When we got pregnant with DD – and it became apparent that yes, this baby is healthy and will be born … Continued
I took a hiatus from social media over the holidays. Didn’t expect to. Didn’t plan to. It just worked out that way. And I’m glad. Instead of spending my time online, I did tons of fun offline activities. Reading. Baking. Helping DD “change” Dolly’s and Baby’s diapers. (This is something she does endlessly.) We played … Continued
When I attended Blissdom Canada in October, I had the opportunity to participate in something called #MakeYourMark – a special by-appointment-only session about how to speak to media to monetize your reach and influence. Now, I have a PR background so it’s not like I don’t know the principles behind engaging the media. The thing … Continued
My favourite girl in the whole wide world. On a crisp fall morning, two weeks ago. This is love.
I am one of many eagerly awaiting November 18th. What’s the big deal? Well…it’s the release date for Breaking Dawn…yes I know, I’m blogging about that movie franchise. The one that has girls and grown women shrieking and swooning in movie theatres around the world. Confession: While I haven’t shrieked or swooned myself (I swear), … Continued
It’s been almost a full week since the Blissdom Canada conference. As you may know, I was ecstatic about attending – for a second year – Canada’s only social media conference for women. I had set a few goals for myself, one of them fully realized through the creation of this blog. Yes, indeed! I … Continued
Nike’s motto – Just Do It. Hrmm… Some days…it’s not so easy. Other days – I’m an exercising ninja. Ki-ai! Well, okay, not really true… What I mean is, I move. Sweat away my stress, my demons. Working on my fitness – doing it! Feeling better for it. Happier too. — It’s Six Word Fridays … Continued
Here’s a strange confession. I’ve recently discovered that I love sniffing playdough. Weird, right? Let me explain. For DD’s birthday her Nanny gave her some art supplies. Part of that art booty was some playdough. Not the homemade kind, the Hasbro kind. Which means it came scented. Like vanilla. When we opened the playdough up, … Continued
When it comes to parenting, there is no balance. The simple fact is you juggle, and some things slip. In the early months of DD’s life, it was sleep, daily showers and housework (never the laundry though. I was always doing laundry). Later on it was time with friends, time to myself that got squeezed … Continued
This is DD’s favourite place to be. At the park, yes. But more specifically, in a swing. As I push her back and forth, she closes her eyes and let’s the breeze caress her face. Back and forth. Back and forth – a light smile on her face. While I am the agent of physics … Continued
