Do you do a regular closet clear out each spring? Do you send a big bag of once loved goodies to the thrift and/or consignment stores? But you keep a number of nearly new items because, well they are nearly new. You might have bought these awesome items online and then the size or style [...]
It seems I sort of disappeared for a while. It was not my plan but a nasty cold hit about a month ago and just didn't want to let go. I am still hacking and coughing today. So I had to re-prioritize some things as I get ready for the Holidays. And all my well [...]
I recently returned from a trip to Toronto for Blissdom Canada and Digital Day = Four days, 2 flights, 2 conferences, 2 parties (1 of them costume), an excursion to wine country and an afternoon with friends. This equalled 6 very different outfits and one carry-on. I knew I had to take my suitcase with me to the [...]
I don't like to talk sizes much, because they change so much from brand to brand (and sometimes drastically even within the same brand). I wear the clothes that fit my body and my style. The specific size doesn't really matter. But for this post it makes sense for me to tell you that I generally wear around a [...]

Next Wednesday October 3 I am going to spend the day with a room full of women "igniting ideas". I have been to full day conferences that "teach" me more about my profession and business and I have been to inspirational events that spur ideas. But none of them has focused on me as a [...]
In one week I will once again be participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure on the Bloggers for Boobies team. Although I walk the event, as I am NOT a runner. I have not lost anyone close to me to breast cancer. But I know as a woman in my 40s, with a peer [...]
I expect to be missing in action for the next week or so. I am in the final days of organizing a fantastic cycling event for Pancreatic Cancer Research, and expect it to be pretty hectic. Every year I have every intention to try to pre-schedule some posts for this time, but somehow never do. [...]
Last week I was asked to speak at the Vancouver Mom Top 30 Mom Blogger Gala. It was the perfect night to debut my new Kiyonna dress. I was recently asked to be part of the Kiyonna Blogger Brigade and picked this Harlow Faux Wrap Dress in red. I have wanted a great red dress for [...]
