What's your specialty? (work-wise - you're probably pretty special at a lot of things)

I am a computer geek and a real wired woman. I ubber proud that I created my website with minimal technical support. I love learning about technology and excited about the coming years of what it will bring us.

What's your shameless plug? (books, blogs, bling, etc.)

My shameless plug would be that you have to visit the WonderMoms community, be are pretty large. Starting at our website WonderMoms.ca plus our WonderMoms Forum with 1000 registered Moms, than check out our Twitter page with 3400 followers and lastly we have a Facebook Profile/ Fanpage.

Best thing about your work:

I control my hours and I am my own boss, even though I am a workoholic. I love networking with so many fabulous people, companies and brands. We are enjoying every minute of it. Each week we have new challenges and exciting experiences that improves the brand and shows our true reach in the Social Media world.

Parent or not a parent?

I am a very busy Parent, very proud Mama of four girls. They are growing and blossoming into wonderful members of our community, They watch their Mama (me) work a lot and give back to the community and tell me how proud they are of me each week. I am blessed to be their role model.

Share a typical Tuesday (really we want to hear how you "do it all")

Tuesday’s are my “work” days as all the kids are at school, I usually book meetings those days. It allows me the freedom to attend events as well. A Typical Tuesday, is a mad dash off to school with my hair in a pony and wearing my lulu gear. Sunglasses hide my bags under my eyes from being up late the night before working on the computer.

Come home and do the housework, typical Mom stuff….than I fire up my Tassimo and get to work on the computer answering emails and uploading contests and or content on my site. Typically I work all day until 2:30 pm and pick up the kids and back in Mommy mode.

Dinner is somehow made, homework and lunches…bath, stories and sweet bedtime. This is when I get back to work on the computer. Really not a glamorous life is it?

Do you blog?

I have my website and mostly people blog for us, but yes I do blog as I want our readers to learn about me, the voice behind WonderMoms. I do really need to write more, A) time B ) time …… see the pattern.

Do you tweet?

Do I have to really answer this – as of today I have tweeted 24, 143 times. (yep I tweet) Honestly I love twitter. It has increased our Social Media presence and also I have meet so many people IRL that have the same in common with me.

I tweet in bed, I tweet in the car (not driving) I tweet on the couch, I am addicted.

Link to a post/portfolio piece you think shows your most supreme skills:

This is our WonderMoms interviews, I started my first interview with Erica Ehm and worked our way through other fabulous Moms. This latest interview I have grown as I interviewer and more confident. Thank you to Opti-Mom.ca and Mr OptiMom guiding me along.

Wallflower or social butterfly?

Growing up I was a wallflower, now I am a butterfly as I love to socialize. You really need to have strong social skills when networking. I remember going to an after hours Chamber event and thought I would not know anyone. I was dead wrong, it was the best night I had for networking.
