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...]
Ignorance isn’t Bliss #BlissdomCa

Obviously, safety comes first and the unit needs to go where it will work the best, but at the same time, aesthetics come into play too.

Walmart and Pampers join forces to welcome new babies!
Want to hear one of my best tips for expecting mamas?? Expect the Unexpected, or rather don't go into the birth thing with any expectations at all. Just see what happens and roll with it. After two years of trying to conceive and dealing with a less than compassionate obgyn, I decided to enlist the care of midwives when we finally, FINALLY, were blessed with becoming pregnant.
