2015 Catholic Family Life Conference
We spent the majority of last week at the 20th Annual Catholic Family Life Conference in Lac St. Anne, Alberta. The organizers had finally convinced Scott Hahn, one of our favourite Catholic authors, to come speak, so we decided to make the trek across the province. It also gave us a chance for a quick […]
Design Lab Live Advanced Workshop Wrap-up
I spent Saturday hanging out in a room at The Profile overlooking the Vancouver harbour, learning more about responsive website design. Design Lab Live was a hands-on, informative workshop that gave me and the other attendees tons to think about as we work on our own websites. Here are a few highlights. Ryan Opina of […]
Catholic Conference 4 Moms
Being a mom is the best job in the world. It’s the only job I’ve worked that hasn’t bored me to tears three months in, leaving me waiting for the next thing to happen. Every day with children is new and different as they grow and learn and discover their world. And yet… every day […]
5 Travel Tips
While I enjoy traveling and look forward to opportunities to go anywhere (even just a short road trip!), traveling via plane or out-of-country also makes me nervous. I tend to make lists and overthink what I need to do while I’m away, but I’ve learned a bit more with each trip I take. So here’s […]
#BlogHer14: Celebrities, Selfies, and Information Overload
Wow! BlogHer14 is over and I feel like it’s going to take me a month to process everything I heard and learned there. All the “What to Expect” and “What to Bring” posts I read before the conference couldn’t prepare me for actually being there along with a few thousand other bloggers. It was great […]
Create a Family Tree
I glanced over the broken pencil crayons laying like pick-up sticks on the table, then at the huge piece of white flip chart paper. Create a family tree? I can’t draw, but Sunshine and Lily were eager to get started, so I quickly sketched out a tree worthy of a six-year-old: straight brown trunk, round […]
Seven Quick Takes of Write! Vancouver (Vol. 14)
— 1 — I’ve been looking forward to Write! Vancouver 2013 ever since last year’s conference ended. I love going to conferences and was excited to have one happening so close to home—although it didn’t seem very close to home this year when I took the ferry by myself and then caught the bus and […]
Mommy Goes to Conference
This weekend I was at Write! Vancouver, the second conference I’ve attended in the past month with Jade. Being there with a baby made me appreciate how easy it was to attend last year by myself! Jade received lots of compliments for being a cute and quiet baby, and while having an easy baby does […]
Connecting Bloggers and Brands Conference Vancouver
Last Tuesday, I was at the Connecting Bloggers and Brands Conference. I hate navigating Vancouver by myself, so my husband dropped me off at the Vancity Theatre and went to the zoo with Sunshine and Lily, then came back to meet me when the conference ended. I’ve been to a lot of conferences over the […]
