This year I celebrated 10 years of taking a chance to share my thoughts online, the actual anniversary was in August, but life got too busy to mention it.

I feel blessed to do that all, and it’s because of everyone who supports me on here and on social media! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to do most of it.

If you’ve been here awhile, you know my love for the Karrot App! Well now they’ve added a new feature, an AI Helper to make your listings even more seamless. Karrot is different from other marketplaces, with their phone number verification process that guarantees people are who they say they are and that you only shop with people in your neighbourhood! Nothing irks me more than bots on the other listing platforms! Ok, petty rant but if you’re like me, I dislike how many bots are now on other platforms.

We welcomed Isabella on April 29 at 12:14 pm! I had another c-section (scheduled) and it went smoothly. Just happy to meet her! I scheduled my c-section as a backup plan with my previous surgeon and it ended up being her due date. I contemplated canceling it and going with the flow to see if I go into labour days before but due to being my second birth after a c-section it wasn’t a guarantee and I wouldn’t want to go too much longer. Glad I did it, when they opened me up and discovered I had scar tissue both ..read more
