Main profile

Author Profile: 

A proud wife, mommy of 1, and fan of reality tv.  Like a "true Canadian" I love my hockey.  I've worked almost 9 years for non-profit organizations and the rest of my career in government.  

About my kids: 
I have a 6 year old daughter. She loves princesses, singing, dancing, and (much to my husband's delight) soccer.
Parenting is...: 
the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life, but also the most wonderful thing. I'm sure that sounds cliché, but it's so true.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 
As my grade 5 teacher described me, I am a social butterfly. I love nothing more than having a coffee with my friends. In addition to that, I like spending time outside. Whether it be working in my garden, going for a walk or run, or spending time at our camp, I love it all. As much as that makes me sound "outdoorsy", I am not. I am a city girl through and through... but I admire "outdoorsy" types.
When are you at your yummiest?: 
When I'm feeling confident and happy. We all have "off days", and I spent far too long focusing on what I didn't like about myself. I'm now just coming around to the fact that as long as I feel good about myself, that's what matters.
If someone wrote a biography about you, what would be the title?: 
Fun, Fabulous and a Little Bit Crazy
What's currently in your purse?: 
Crayons, candy wrappers, my wallet, sunglasses, and a few sets of keys (I don't know what half of these keys belong to).
What superhero power would you like to have?: 
Fly... no... teleportation, I'm scared of heights
If we gave you an elephant, where would you hide it?: 
I'm not energetic enough to hide it, I would give it to the zoo, provided they come and pick it up.
