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.
