Work. Life. Imbalance.
Work. Bills. Groceries. Dinner. Bathtime. Staying up too late, and getting up too early, and meeting every end but never making any end meet. At work, the two projects I was hired to manage are winding down, and the late stages are where the execution takes place, and the demands of actually … [Read more...]

painting together and creating memories
this is my favourite part of my job- see how into it they are? see my little friend in the middle? See the tilt to his head? He comes every week- he says it is his favourite thing, even more than hockey- and if I call him by his real name - he says - " I prefer when you use the nickname you … [Read more...]
On work/life balance with Anissa Holmes
I always find people so fascinating. I was raised with the understanding that everyone has a story and each one of us is unique. As a mom, I can respect that and appreciate whatever the circumstances may be. We are all looking for that balance. I'm inspired by hearing about what other women are … [Read more...]
