Today I’m getting on an airplane with three of my favourite people and heading to Nashville, Tennessee for Blissdom ’09. Graham keeps telling people that he “gave me permission” to go on this trip. I just shrug and laugh…what can I say? It makes him happy, even if the truth is slightly different (wink).
In anticipation of meeting some lovely new people who will not have heard of this website before, I thought I’d post a few links to help any new visitors get the lay of the land.
- I’ve openly mocked Martha Stewart here on this site…I have a real love/hate relationship with her magazine. So pretty. So expensive. So addictive.
- I once considered myself child-free but over the last year or so the idea of becoming a mother has become more and more appealing. Babies have been on my brain.
- Before I met my husband I shared a terrific apartment in an old house in Toronto. I took a virtual tour through that apartment last spring, comparing my single city life to the suburban life I live now.
- I also write occasionally at a cooking site called For the Love of Leftovers, and when it’s gardening season here in Southern Ontario, I write about organic gardening in Durham Region at Playing in the Dirt. I have a review site, too, which you can visit at Assertagirl Reviews.
Welcome!

YOU’RE COMING!!!
My day JUST GOT BETTER!
I’m so bummed about missing Blissdom, but I only get one super fun conference per year. Give Motherbumper a big fat smooch from me…heck, give all of my favorite Canadians big smooches.
*jealous*
really…that’s all i have to say
Have a great trip and lots of fun
You’ll have great time…Nashville is fun too..but you probably won’t even see it cause you’ll be having so much fun at the conference…
I know I’ve been here many times, but have I told you how much I love your header (and, of course, your content, too!)? Wish I were joining you guys at Blissdom….please tell us all about it. Maybe next year I’ll be there, too.
Have a good trip, I’m jealous, I wish I was going on a trip… have fun.
No idea what “Blissdom” is, but enjoy it!
Question…
When can I plant my seeds in the peat pots by the window?
@Kyla, we totally had a makeout session JUST FOR YOU.
@KathyM, I sure hope we get a chance to see more of Nashville. Had some yummy barbeque at Jack’s BBQ last night.
@Hip Mom’s Guide, thanks! I have some great photos I’ll be posting when I get back home.
@UrbanDaddy, it’s a writer’s conference in Nashville. Seems to be mostly women here, although there are a few token men attending, too. You can probably start thinking about doing your seedlings soon. You should check out the forums at You Grow Girl. There’s a seed starting chart somewhere there on the site, too.
