Sometimes I look at my children and it takes my breath away. I can’t believe that I made them, that they came from me, that I have helped mold them into the little humans that they are today. I don’t know if it’s motherhood, or if I simply have faulty tear ducts, but I have…
Friday, May 16th was a very big night for Tara from Suburble and I. It marked our very first West Coast Creative Company event. 3 months ago, Tara and I discovered that we both lived in the Vancouver area. We chatted back and forth for awhile and then decided to meet for tea. As I was…

Mother, wife, blogger, children’s book publicist, freelance writer, Etsy store owner, person who is trying to get into shape… I wear many hats and for me that means one thing. There are never enough minutes in the day. Blogging is fairly new to me. I launched Sew Creative in January so it’s less than 7…
For years I have been reading blogs that talk about going to “Blogger Camp” and dreaming about the day when I too would be able to attend. Lets face it though, with 2 kids, a full time job, a huge list of responsibilities and a limited budget… sneaking away for a weekend of rubbing elbows…
