Have you seen the beautiful black and white picture in my blog title? Of course you have! I put it there for all of you because seeing my little ones’ toes makes me so happy, and I thought it would do the same for you. Photographer extraordinaire, Valerie Pyke, is responsible for that great shot. She has been making house calls at our place ever since my twins were born.

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.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year moves in warp speed leading up to Christmas Day. It seems that I blinked and suddenly it became December! Now I already see people starting to scramble. Scramble for time, shopping lists, parties and events. It’s getting crazy! So, in an effort to make your shopping decisions easier, I have been working on my first Christmas Gift Guide!

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!

The first real snow fall of the season – my children were over the moon with excitement! And so was I!

Today I want to address something that I never have on my blog, but that many mamas have had to face. I have much to say about this topic so more posts will be coming soon, but first I want to acknowledge the issue. Since today is World Premature Day, I thought it was important to acknowledge a very real truth: premature births are hard. There, I said it. I never have, but it is very true.
