    Virtual Conference Tips – How to Make the Most as an Attendee Now

    September 21, 2020 /

    Recently, I attended my first virtual travel conference. It was a whirlwind experience, and I could have used a primer, virtual conference tips, that would have helped me maximize my time while there. So, since I couldn’t find any content or tips on getting the most out of attending a virtual conference, I decided to write a post about it instead. These days, more conferences are moving online, so it’s time to adjust and get used to this. At my first ever virtual travel conference, I learned a few things that I wanted to pass on to you. With everything so up in the air, virtual conferences have become the…

    The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift for Entrepreneurs

    May 8, 2019 /

    I received the Epson 3 in 1 home office all-in-one printer for consideration here. Listen, when you spend as much time in your home office as I do the tools that you have MUST make life easier. I love my home office. It is one of the biggest reasons we bought this house. It was the feature that caught my eye first immediately on viewing our home. And yet…as much as I love my home office I’d rather not spend an extra second more than I have to in it. Because swimming, skiing and travel make me way happier than working inside an office and I’d rather be outdoors any…

    Cyber Threats – Protect Yourself and all Your Devices

    August 20, 2016 /

    I am part of the PTPA Brand Ambassador Program with ESET, and I received compensation as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions in this blog are my own.  Cyber threats are frightening and a reality for anyone who owns a computer, tablet or cell phone. Cyber threats are one of the most worrisome encroachments on our personal lives we face these days. Between ransomware and backdoor key logging malware, cyber threats can and do infiltrate our daily lives. While most of them are only nuisances, there is still possibility of disastrous life changing occurrences like identity theft and financial theft.   It’s important to protect yourself from cyber threats,…

    Video Game Themed Word Search for Kids

    July 14, 2016 /

    Are your kids total video game junkies like mine? Do they love to spend an afternoon playing Minecraft or Mario Bros, or even Undertale? Mine have moved on from the Five Nights at Freddie’s phenomenon to Minecraft and Undertale. They also like video game toys and merchandise too so I figured this free Video Games Word Search would be perfect for them. I mean what could be better than a video game at this age? Not much I think. They eat, sleep, and breathe games and gaming. But, maybe you stand a chance at getting them to do something a bit more traditional if you print out this video games word…

    Creative Teaching – Seven Inspiring Educators Using Microsoft Technology

    May 6, 2016 /

    Educators who model Creative teaching with technology in the classroom are inspiring to their peers, and their students. They set an example of what is possible and they nurture an engaged and inclusive classroom. When teachers take an approach to learning that’s outside of the box, it sparks a great love of discovery and learning in our children, especially those with unique or special needs. Instead of staring at a page in a text book, children can explore in new, interactive ways. Creative teaching can help nurture all children’s strengths, and Microsoft is front and centre building inclusive programs and classrooms. Last week I shared a bit of information about my daughters and…

    Building an Inclusive Classroom With Microsoft

    April 28, 2016 /

    Technology has the power to make lives better. The right technology can help us break down barriers, stay in our homes longer, or tackle health challenges head on. In schools, technology has incredible potential to help build ability, to help every child transcend barriers to education and achieve a bright future. Microsoft Canada is working to help every teacher embrace technology and build an inclusive classroom. My daughters are amazing girls with many strengths and a few challenges. They both fall squarely within the 3.2% of Canadian children aged 5 to 14 affected by a limitation related to learning. That statistic comes from the Participation and Activity Limitation Survey by Statistics Canada. We know kids…

    The Cadillac of Connectivity – Netgear Router #Giveaway

    December 16, 2014 /

    Excellence in connectivity. I may have mentioned once or twice that we moved this year. Why do I mention it so much? Well because moving your entire family is a big life change and it comes with numerous other small and sometimes tedious changes that can linger, prolonging the experience for months. Don’t get me wrong, it’s all good and it’s worth it. But there are often tiny things that crop up all year after the move. I mean first there’s the unpacking of course and then the settling in and getting reoriented. The reason for my move was twofold. We had outgrown our old house and we also needed…
