It was grade two when I found my calling as a writer. No joke. Over the years, I vacillated a lot. I was on a path towards becoming an accountant in university when I remembered my grade school epiphany – and the fact that I stink at math. Oh, go ahead and laugh if you wish; I was many things in my head and my daydreams over the years. I was a professional dancer, a lawyer, a doctor, an artist, a veterinarian. But every time push came to shove, the pen hit the paper or the old commodore 64 was…

By Brooke Berry This is my teeny 4 pound baby when he first got home from the hospital.  He LOVES to grab things, mostly my hair.  Or earrings, or necklace.  I love the kid, but I like my hair too.   Have you seen these really cute necklaces?  Not only are they adorable but they are soft for teething kids.  My boys like to hold on to them (and thankfully let go of me) when they are cuddling with me.  Now that they are teething, this necklace has literally been a life saver.  Their lives.  Just kidding…  (kinda). I also…

This is a massive area of growth for me that has come after several years of blogging. It is a 24/7 job, like blogging and twitter and social media, period. It is a constant evolution and it is dynamic and challenging and I love every minute of building strategy. It is a great fit for me. When I not monitoring my own social accounts,…

Alright, alright! I know what you are thinking. Well it’s been awhile since I dusted this award off and you are right too long perhaps. But I have been busy scouring the nation for social media superstars.  Not really, but I had you for a minute there, didn’t I? Anyways the first ever Social Media Superstars Award went to my amazing bank TD Canada Trust several months ago and the many reasons for that are here in my first social media superstars award post. But this week, this award specifically for rock stars of social media, is for – drumroll…

Meet George. Curious George. Our latest. Because you know we just can’t get enough of baby guinea pigs. He will be Georgia if it turns out he is a girl. But for now, based on past experience with ummmm gender and guinea pigs I think it best to assume he is a boy. This is Wordless Wednesday, a photo meme. I link up at Tara’s View of The World.
