I’m really excited, and a little bit nervous, to be attending my first blog conference! In my “other life” as an Operating Room nurse, I, along with my peers, attended many conferences, but this is different. I have never, in real life, met any of the people who will be there. Plus, I am also carpooling and sharing a room with two people I have never met. But, what the heck, my motto has always been, if you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I will always dance! I have communicated … [Read more...]

January 1, 2015 by · 3 Comments
I posted my first "traffic report" in 2012. I noticed several other blogs had posted their's, so being a very inquisitive person I had to find out what my stats were too. It is super interesting to see all of the yearly stats, discover where my traffic is originating, what sites are referring traffic, what blogs are referring traffic and of course, top blog posts and top recipe posts for the past year. I followed the format of some of the other blogs and then customized it a bit to make it my … [Read more...]

January 27, 2014 by · 1 Comment
The winter Biannual Blogathon Bash has officially ended. It was a fun weekend and although I wasn't able to put in as much time as I had hoped or cross everything off my list, I did accomplish a few things and put in an estimated 14 hours of blogging. Not record-breaking by any means, but it was 14 hours I may not have dedicated to my blog, so I am happy about that. My favourite part was meeting some new bloggers, the number of talented bloggers and the enormous scope of … [Read more...]

Late Wednesday we had a totally unexpected opportunity to visit my son, who lives in London, Ontario and just a few hours later we were on our way. We usually only have an opportunity to see him a couple times a year, so when this adventure suddenly presented itself, it was too exciting to pass up! I hope you understand; I should be back home and posting by the 11th or 12th. In the meantime, if you would like to visit the … [Read more...]
