Was so pleased to be asked to take part in the 2nd day of Marilyn Denis’ 2nd season, and to join “The Chat” panel to discuss some recent hot topics and fun stories which include Gwyneth Paltrow and school uniforms. Thankfully, not together.
Glad to see this new segment and look forward to being on again soon.
On Wednesday February 23rd I visited Marilyn Denis on the set of her new show, the aptly called Marilyn Denis Show. The energy surrounding the show is awesome, and I had an appreciative audience to present my “Smartphone Apps You Need” segment. You can watch it here, plus the recommendations I make to make your life simple with some terrific apps for any type of Smartphone.
Just spent an amazing few days in New York City at the BlogHer10 conference, courtesy of my friends at Mabel’s Labels, whose blogging contest I helped to judge. An amazing time filled with inspiring, incredible, and indisputably funny and fabulous women, the corporate angle of this conference is what I was really interested in seeing up close.
I visited the ABC Studios to do a segment for CTV NewsChannel on “the business of blogging”, and to report back on what I saw there. I have to admit, being in the studios where the signs in the hallway pointed to “World News Tonight” was pretty cool. I had my two teenagers sitting just a few feet from me while I did this, which was also a unique thing. “Look kids Mommy actually works!”, and as my own mother said after seeing me, “It’s nice to see you talking about something other than the kids.”
Tell me what you think about the business of blogging – here are my thoughts in this clip.
I’ll be visiting my friend Nancy Richards at CTV Southwestern Ontario in Kitchener on Monday, May 17th during the Noon News. Tune in to hear me talk “Shut Up and Eat: Tales of Chicken, Children and Chardonnay”
I know at my house the homework is flying around, the hockey sticks are being pulled out, and the school lunches are looking like, well, school lunches.
Tonight, Tuesday September 22nd, tune into Global TV (in Toronto), just after 6:30, as I discuss with Sean O’Shea Investigator/Consumer Specialist about how technology (the internet, cell phones, smart phones) is actually bringing families closer together.
Then, tomorrow I’ll be in the capital city, as I visit Ottawa’s A Channel Morning Show, to talk about family and technology and a recent study which shows that most parents think the internet is beneficial for their children, from quite a young age.
Then it’s over to the CTV studio in Ottawa to talk with Paul Brent of “Tech Talk” about how my family has embraced technology (live on the Noon News and airing again on Sunday’s “Tech Talk”).
(Insert visit to kids’ school open house – if the flight is on time.)
Back to Toronto where Thursday morning I’ll be hosting a Playtex/Wee Welcome Session with the wonderful Maureen Dennis, as we talk to Moms dealing with Baby’s First Year. We’ll talk challenges, changes, and unexpected benefits.
We’ll be at the Indigo Bookstore in Yorkdale (Toronto). Visit www.weewelcome.ca to pre-register if you’re interested in going – and winning some cool prizes as well .
After talking to these Moms, (well not right after- have to race home, get kids off bus, supervise homework, make dinner, send one kid to hockey, then…) I’ll be heading to TVO to participate on a panel with The Agenda with Steve Paikin, as we discuss whether women are happier today, or in the 1970′s.
I have my opinion, and am looking forward to hearing from others on the panel. This airs live on TVO at 8:00 p.m., and re-runs again at 11:00 p.m…a
t which point I will have collapsed at home, with a pile of school permission forms, fundraising sheets, and dirty hockey gear surrounding me.
