Charity

You know that expression, actions speak louder than words? Well, when it comes to “thank you” there are lots of ways to add an action to your gratitude. For the last eight years, I have been doing something pretty special with Shopping From The Heart ( #SFTHmtl ). And you know…

This week, I had the chance to talk with Elias Makos about Shopping From The Heart on the BT Montreal couch! It’s always a pleasure to visit the team at Breakfast Television. They are so welcoming. Here is the segment and why coming to this event is the perfect Mother’s…

During our time at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, you may think my favourite part was the time at the parks, or the Disney Dream cruise, or the Castaway Cay experience…there is so much I will be forever grateful for. All those things created special memories with my family,…
