How to be a Better Parent (and Have a Cleaner House too!)
I didn’t want to be that mom who spent her kids’ lives on her phone. I didn’t want them to remember me staring at a screen all.the.time.
Above all, I didn’t want them to grow up thinking I thought my phone was more important to me than they are.

Remember Mommy, “This Too, Shall Pass”
Those first few weeks of Motherhood... Bleeding. Exhausted. Scared. Crying. (And that's just me. I'm sure it's an adjustment for the baby too.) Oh. my. word. My nipples. (Do I still even have nipples? Maybe I just wish I didn't have nipples?)

How I Quit My Job to Blog Full Time (in less than a year)
Never waking up again at 6 am to commute, never again worrying more about someone else’s bottom line, never missing another one of your baby’s firsts… never (ever) smiling like you mean it (but really, really, not meaning it) – when you’d rather just flat out punch the guy in the throat?

3 Essential Tax Tips for Your Home-Based Business in it’s First Year
Now, let’s not pretend that I have been on top of things these past few (or 6) months. I’ve already admitted to you guys that I, queen of credit-cards-are-your-best-friends-if-you-use-them-right, have been dropping balls all over the place. I got my husbands Worker’s Comp Insurance cut off because I forgot to pay the bill, we got fined by the CRA because I forgot to file sales tax, and yes, I paid interest on a credit card…twice.
