Being Social:

So this past  few weeks i have been trying to become more involved with social networking, and let me tell you it hasnt been easy. You would think sitting behind a computer screen would make it so easy to chat to people. I mean its perfect you dont have to be intimidated by a well established or empowered person or have to worry, did i say something stupid, don't have to worry if you in vogue...So now i sit in  wide eyed and excited in front of my computer..  and then i  draw a blank.  I start skimming through all the current statuses and conversation waiting for that opportunity to jump in and join in. Its like watching my daughter at a park where she shyly dances around a kid or a group of them hoping that one of them will notice she's been closely trailing along and that one of them will eventually ask "hey wanna play?"Yes its become a "playground" for me. and i think to myself no, no, no, this is not going to happen. I need to start taking  my own advise i give to my daughter " To have a friend you have to be a friend"so advice in mind, i'm just gonna jump right in there and be like hey look at me!! can you do this? hanging upside down from the monkey bars (figuratively speaking). So i put a plan into action and joined a group to help me learn the ropes the Vaughan Mompreneurs (www.vaughanmompreneurs.com) its been super great  joining this group i have been to several events where they have meet  ups that have been fun and business building, most recently i went to a social media and networking workshop and it was so informative it helped me not only learn how to interact but also to navigate the tools that social networking has... Trust me for a long time i was all thumbs with Twitter, Facebook, blogging and all the other social media networking outlets, slowly with constant practice and lots of trials and error, i think i am slowly getting the hang of things.  Here is a List of my social networks that i am linked to. I hope that you'll stop by and hang upside down with me on some monkey bars  (figuratively speaking of course).

March Madness:

Wow. March has barely begun and it’s shaping up to be a crazy month.

As most mum’s know, March Break is coming up. Always a fun time, it means I’ll have my little one home with me during a busy work week. I’m sure Ari and I will get up to tons of trouble and fun .I posted up some images of last years march break when i took Ariana on a pre-photo shoot.I was scouting potential locations and decided to make the most of it, by creating personal photos. this is my favorite shoot and spot out of the bunch.

On the work front, I’ll be shooting some fall looks half way through the month. I’m just solidifying location and wardrobe. I’m really excited for this. It’s always great to take control on the creative side of things.Who know i might just be adding new photos of Ariana just in time for easter  greeting cards to family abroad.
