Last night I headed to the big city (yes, on a school night!) to appear in my first ever Facebook Live, in conjunction with SavvyMom.ca, to help spread the word about the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation, and to answer questions and give tips about how to instill the love of reading in kids, how […] Read more…
I have officially made it. I now receive mean tweets. Now, that’s not to say I’ve never faced any negativity as a blogger before.

Back in the fall I had the pleasure of interviewing the inspiring Peterborough Kawartha MP and Cabinet Minister Maryam Monsef for a profile which was published in the April issue of Canadian Living magazine. The profile is now live on the Canadian Living website, and you can find it here: Maryam Monsef: From refugee to […] Read more…
A while back I had a conversation with The Social’s Melissa Grelo for Parents Canada magazine (we seem to go back and forth: I interview her for print, she interviews me on TV), and she was incredibly open and honest: about her struggles with infertility, her passionate thoughts about fitness, the importance of couple time […] Read more…
