February 11, 2013 by Jen

All things must come to an end. Well, that's what I have been telling myself. But selling a business you started is almost like saying goodbye to a loved one.

The Two Parts of the Whole

October 29, 2007 by Jen

I've been meaning to do this for months - start my own blog, I mean.  I often write for urbanmoms.ca about motherhood and products I love and cool things other women are doing but I haven't done it regularly and I've never really written about urbanmoms.ca.  I guess I just assumed everyone … [Read more...]
