It’s time once again to hand out my Social Media Superstars Award. This time I am rewarding a car company for a job well done. This is us, my group of social media friends, ironically many of whom, are from London, Ontario, at the excursions part of BlissdomCA in October. For day two of our conference experience we test drove Chevrolet Canada cars, raced through the slalom course which is soaked with water for maximum effect, tasted some delicious gourmet food from a food truck catered by Gourmet Bitches and learned a whole lot about innovation and ways in which technology…

Your Santa Story arrived today and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. Your Santa Story personalized Christmas DVD will make you child’s Christmas morning 2012 even sweeter than ever before. A few weeks ago I replied to the email from the creator of Your Santa Story, a person I recalled meeting at Blogher in New York City in August. I volunteered to build My Santa Story to tell my readers about it and offer a giveaway. Your Santa Story isn’t just a cut and paste digitally created computer sleight of hand; it’s a well crafted, acted…

My kids have clearly hit the October/November blahs at school. They leave in the morning a bit slower than they did in September and they have been coming home a lot less cheery than when the sun was out in full force. My one daughter is having some challenges with getting there again and she is upset often on returning home. There have been some issues with some other kids in class that are not easy to solve at all. This weighs heavily on a sensitive anxious child. The other day a big box of Kindersurprises arrived and I was…

I couldn’t resist this Pinterest inspired recipe for my youngest child’s favourite treat in the entire world – well, other than pizza – Homemade Peanut Butter Cups with sea salt.These are so easy but first let me state clearly that this is a Pinterest recipe. It is not mine originally, but now I am so adding this to me on line recipe box. We duplicated all the details and took our photos and ended up with this. The original recipe comes http://www.blueeyedbakers.com/You don’t even have to cook it or bake it, just melt stuff and let it harden. Super easy…

Caught You. Wordless Wednesday is a photo meme.

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…
