Q & A With Jane Green, Author of Dune Road
I recently did a book review of Jane Green’s book, Dune Road, for Penguin Canada. I loved the book, and in fact have since read Swapping Lives and am halfway through Second Chance (yay to my library having a good stock of Jane’s books!) So I was of course super excited when my contact at Penguin [...]Time and Money
So finances remain somewhat strained here in our household. Overall we’re managing for now, but we have one big money dilemma to deal with this month that of course is time sensitive. I have a Jeep Liberty that I enjoy very much. It’s a big tight with three kids but we’ve managed just fine in it. [...]BlogHer Party Time
You know, I’ve been totally excited about the BlogHer 09 Conference since buying my tickets months ago, but I really had no idea how involved and busy the weekend in Chicago was going to be! I suspect I’m going to be coming home very tired, which is going to make for an interesting Monday morning [...]Book Review - Dune Road
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m doing occasional book reviews for Penguin Canada - no compensation received other than the book itself (no affiliate sales or anything either), honest opinions only. I’m going to tell a little about each book and provide a rating (my opinion only obviously) out of 5 stars. Dune Road by Jane Green I [...]Working on the Weekend
I started working with a new client this weekend. It was interesting, as I’m often busy on weekends and don’t always answer my business line then, but this Saturday I was around home with no real plans and so I answered when the phone rang. It was a client who had some urgent work and [...]Twittermom to 3 boys!
Oh, the action around here!
I use photoshop element mainly to retouch pictures and create some cute effects, sometimes I use the online piknik too, but I am in love with the free online Studio Software offered by Heritage Makers. It is so intuitive, you are not dealing with ...
I have tried so many software programs, that I cant remember, and I honestly think the very best I have found is Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus. I love this progam so much that it is the sole reason I decided to become a consultant.
Hey, Twitter Moms,
I recently became involved in an amazing home-based business opportunity I would love to share with all of you. If you are worried about layoffs, pay cuts or simply want to supplement your income, don’t miss this FREE Webinar. I...
I would love to go but am thinking it's probably not likely since I'm already going to both Quilt Markets this year (I did just Fall QM last year). I'd love to hit up Chicago, though. We went there on vacation two years ago and I totally fell in l...
i'd also love to go, hope to go ... would be interested in sharing a room, though i will likely be toting an 8 week old, bit of a wild card.
I am thinking of going. In fact, 99% sure that I am going. I would love to connect with some of you guys on here. :)

- I'm a mom of 3 boys who works from home as a virtual assistant. My boys are ages 7, 4 and 1. I love blog about being a work at home mom and about my boys of course! I'm planning to spend 2009 focusing on growing my virtual assistant business, and growing my mom blogger network. I'll be attending BlogHer 09 in Chicago this summer and hope to meet some of you there!

- mommyhood, business, blogging, technology, social media, twitter, work-at-home, green living, fitness, weight loss, writing, law
My work
I also Twitter @halosecretarial because I found my mom tweets and my business tweets were confusing me! And there are definitely people who follow me who want to keep it more business so it's easier to keep things somewhat separated!
I have a virtual assistant business, specializing in legal work. I worked as a legal assistant and paralegal for over 10 years before starting my VA business. I loved my work (most of the time, lol!) but wanted more flexibility in my days and more challenge in the actual work. Now I have the best of both worlds, at least most of the time. It's not always easy working at home, but I love it!

BlogHer/Chicago In Real Life in 2009
So I definitely want to try and attend BlogHer next summer in Chicago. Chicago is a city DH and I had wanted to visit anyway, so we're talking about making it a family trip, but we'll have to see, it's a long drive (26 hours approx) OR fairly expensive plane tickets, and then it would probably just be me going. DH and I have long-standing plans to take a big "alone" trip next fall to New York, for our 10 year anniversary, so that's the priority for travel. I really want to do both though!!

My Don't Need List
I'm feeling inspired after reading Mina and Katie's posts about what they don't need. It can be so freeing to recognize what things we can let go of! So here's my don't need list:
I don't need chocolate so often - I need to make it a once a week or even every other week treat. Better for my waistline and my wallet!… Continue

DEAL? DEAL! I do not want this to be like the dreaded hated SPAM, lol.

Let me mention my bolgs, worked hard on a posting last night, lost have after typing when computer mysteriously shut off, but got it done. Feel free to read, and let me know what y'all think, or leave a comment. Y'all know I do this for y'all not to push my sites but thought today I would add it in. Okay let the pictures begin.....
And this one I thought was too cute, specially as the mom of two boys, one who loves the ladies, the other who has had his eye on the same little gril for over a year.
