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...]

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...]
My Time in the T-Dot with #SCCTO and #PGmom
This fall I have been bouncing back and forth from the T-Dot giving me more anxiety than I can handle just by the mere thought of city driving! lol Why do I always have to hit Toronto right at rush hour and as it's getting dark? I need to avoid that in the future, though I do love the look on the commuters faces when this small town girl waves them in a head! Apparently that's a dead giveaway that you aren't from around these parts! lol Oh it's all for good cause though, as Toronto meetings … [Read more...]
Twitter Party Alert! @FordSCCTO Tonight!
With the ShesConnected Conference just days away, I've been spending time revisiting last year's photos of the event and getting excited with blogging friends who I will see again soon!

From singing along to the awesome stereo or trying out the hands free parking it was a blast at every turn! Ford will be back again this year and I can't wait to see what they have … [Read more...]
