Blogging & Social Media

There’s something about you I can’t explain.
You are such a force and such a weakness of mine.
Sometimes my days do not feel complete without you
When I can’t have you, I feel weary and drained.

I am sure that some of you have noticed this amazing top right button marking me as a Toshiba Brand Ambassador. Well, I hadn’t written anything about it yet because I didn’t want to jinx it! You see, a while back, after I attended the Shes Connected Conference in Toronto, I applied for this great opportunity.

As most of you may be aware, I have reached a big milestone recently: I now have over 1000 followers on Twitter! I am so thrilled about this milestone and even more thrilled that I am able to offer you, my fabulous blog readers and tweeps, a great giveaway!

So here I am, coming to the close of one year of blogging.
My first post was brief and shy, (To The Future) who knew this blog would blossom into THIS?!

The last two weeks have flown by. Between attending my first blogging/networking conference, getting over a tremendous cold and having Thanksgiving at our house for the first time, things have been a little nuts. And through it all, my mind has been racing with fresh blog posts and future projects.

As many new bloggers know, trying to get yourself in the right direction while you’re surfing on the Internet can be…challenging to say the least.

This Thursday I will be attending my first blogging/networking conference in Toronto called She’s Connected! I’m very excited and honoured to be invited. So much so, that I have done some leg work to get swag for the mama bloggers attending!

It’s almost been two weeks since the Great Canadian Blog Bash took place, and it was fantastic! I have to be honest, I have yet to respond and visit all the blogger that attended the weeklong celebration. But the great thing is that the list is still available and I will make my way through all the great posts during the summertime. So if I haven’t responded to you – I will!

I am so thrilled to be taking part in this fantastic event!

Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Pampered Patty during my own networking/charity event. She’s wonderful! Since then, we have been keeping in touch via Twitter and our blogs. So when she told me she was going to put together a blog party with Whispered Inspirations, Mom vs. The Boys, Good Girl Gone Green and Kat’s Confessions to celebrate Canadian bloggers, I wrote it in my calendar and anxiously awaited the date!

Can you get a hangover from a blog party?

It’s three days since the Ultimate Blog Party 2011 finished and I am still recovering…in a good way!
