I’m excited to share the Lisa Giroday/Victory Gardens profile I wrote for the June 2013 issue of Chatelaine! Track down their special anniversary issue on newsstands now!
I’ve been quiet for some time. Being an editor at todaysparent.com has kept me busy but I haven’t stopped working on other little projects. There are lots of good things on the horizon. Keep an eye out in The Grid’s Feb. 14 issue for a feature on me and a few other daring Torontoians. I also have my fingers crossed about a certain creative non-fiction writing contest I entered this winter. Oh, what spring will bring…
“Growing up, I was a brat. Yes, I’ll admit that a good chunk of my childhood fell under “the difficult” years.
I was accustomed to hearing the word YES, because my parents wanted to give me the world (which, in grade two, was Chicken McNuggets from the school lunch program; “the world” got exponentially more expensive for my parents once I got to middle school). I was one of the lucky ones — I know that now. But at the time, I was more focused on getting my way than giving thanks. So, I can only imagine how I would have reacted if I was suddenly drop-kicked into a blended family. I would have been a terror.”

I curated this sweet gallery for Todaysparent.com. It seems I’m handling the baby room beat.
