The very first time I met Erica Ehm I made it very clear to her that I wanted to be on TV. I've always been a bit of an attention seeker—I have strong opinions and I never really shied away from sharing them, and I've never met a camera I didn't like.  I'm not very shy after all. And even knowing all of that Erica took a chance on me and let me start writing this blog even though I was loud, had strong opinions, and had never written anything before.

The Culture Of Pink

Why I'm OK With The Pink-ification Of Our Toys

I’m going to venture out of my typical celebrity bubble here for a minute and talk about something that has bothered me lately.

And not only am I excited to go see it, but I am lucky enough to have a family pass for 4 for 1 lucky winner in Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto, Waterloo, Winnipeg and Vancouver to see it on Saturday, January 7th!  How awesome is that!

Michelle Duggar Miscarries

The Critics Come Out Of The Woodworks

As publicly as she announced her 20th pregnancy, Michelle Duggar was recently forced to announce that she has tragically miscarried what was to be her 20th baby.  In speaking to People Magazine, Michelle said that at a routine 20-week check up she was informed by her doctor that they could not find a heartbeat.  For any woman this would be devastating news, yet for some reason much of the public feels like they can take this opportunity to basically tell Michelle that she needs to take this as a sign to stop having babies instead of understanding that even though this was her 20th baby, a l
