Pros & Cons of a Big Family
Don’t do it! Yup that’s my advice to anyone who wants to have many, many babies and by many, I mean 4 or more. When we decided to have children I always knew I’d have 2 babies. I grew up in a family of 2 and so just assumed I would also have… Continue reading Pros & Cons of a Big Family

My Bliss List
Wow, all I can say is Wow! I went to Toronto last week to attend my very first Blissdom Canada conference. I learned and loved and danced and laughed and cried (what else is new) and networked.
