Author Profile: 

Hi, I'm Roshan! My working titles are: wife, mother, writer and business owner. I generally like sharing my thoughts on daily life and what I learn as I hobble along life's path.

I write about being a mom of two kids, a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old (at the moment). I sometimes talk about being a wife/partner. I also own two businesses, both start-ups. So I guess you could call me a mompreneur, but I'm not sure I deserve that title just yet....we'll see how the next year goes. My first business is called Cloak and Curio - an online boutique for gently used children's clothing, locally handmade (in Ontario) children's clothing, toys and decor, and vintage toys. The business is focused on reusing, recycling, and upcycling. I figure it's the least I can do since I've been a consumer for most of my life.

My other business is Hot Quill Communications. I provide corporate communications and marketing consulting, program management and writing/editorial services on a freelance/short-term contract basis. I also love working on video productions, and I dabble in graphic design. I've spent over ten years working as a communications professional for top Canadian Financial Services companies...and I still love it!!

I should also mention that I live in Wellesley, Ontario - one of the friendliest little villages! We're about 15 minutes north west of Waterloo, Ontario. But I haven't always been a country girl. I've lived in Waterloo, downtown Toronto, Kingston and Whitby (where I grew up). I have also traveled a fair bit and I plan on taking more trips once I get over my nervousness about traveling with young children. My other loves are my fur babies: Sunny the dog and Ruby the cat. And, I love love love to eat good food and drink good drinks.

If you want to get in touch with me, please send me an email: [email protected]. I generally respond very quickly.

About my kids: 
My kids delight and challenge me on a daily basis. I'm constantly fascinated by how much they grow and change from week to week. I have a 2.5 year old daughter and a 10.5 month old son so I am generally very busy...which gives me a lot to observe and talk about ;)
Parenting is...: 
...a real trip.
We know you don't have a lot, but when you do, what do you like to do in your spare time?: 
My spare time is spent catching up on PVR'd TV shows while snacking on wasabi peas and white wine.
When are you at your yummiest?: 
In the 5 minutes between my morning shower and when the kids wake up.
