Last weekend, I attended the BConnected Social Media Conference for Mom and Dad Bloggers, it was my fifth social media conference, so a newbie I am not. It was however the first small scale conference I attended since it was BConnected's inaugural year and the location was in Ottawa, and not the popular GTA, I definitely saw and felt some noticeable differences! They say bigger is better and BConnected definitely taught me, that this is not the case! The conference had so much to offer! Photo … [Read more...]

Join us at the #SunMaidBrunch Twitter Party November 20 at 9pm EST
My boys love their breakfast foods, even for my picky eaters, it's the one meal they can all agree on and we've even been known to have breakfast for dinner from time to time.

It's actually something we've done in past years over the holidays ourselves. A brunch is the perfect time for young families to … [Read more...]

I imagined Jully coming out to sing a few songs for us on the conference room platform, if we were super lucky she might pose for a few photos. But I never could have dreamed up this - Full rock concert stage and lights, heated tent and the wine was flowing! The atmosphere had definitely … [Read more...]
Mom vs the Boys is expanding
My boys are growing older and bigger with every passing year and we've well passed the baby stage in our house. It's bittersweet! While I miss snuggling with soft cuddly little babies, it is so awesome to lose the baby gear and leave the house without a stroller and diaper bag weighing me down. I still receive offers from companies to share awesome products for babies with you all, and I've just been declining them for the last year or so because we don't have a need for those products anymore. … [Read more...]
Ignorance isn’t Bliss #BlissdomCa
This past weekend I attended the Blissdom Canada conference in Mississauga, Ontario. Women (and a few brave men) come from coast to coast to attend this popular social media conference each year, and 2013 did not disappoint. If anything, they upped their game! The wine flowed, the hugs were plenty and the laughter was infectious! From the amazing power hour to the closing keynote from Drew Dudley, each of us had our personal a-ha moments to take away. For me, that moment came during Neil … [Read more...]
