About Me

My bio: Hmmmm. Where to start? Well, a whacky British bloke convinced me to move to London from Halifax when I was 23. A few years later I married him. I worked in the non-profit sector and as a freelance writer before getting pregnant with our son, Alex. I freelanced off and on after Alex was born, but gave it up when we moved to Halifax. It's nice to be back!
My interests: Environmental issues, gardening, travel, writing, reading and parenting!
Favourite child-friendly hangout?: Local Jo's, Halifax
My idea of a perfect family day: A lazy day where nothing has to be done, just hanging out in the neighbourhood - go for a walk, visit the playground, hang out at the cookie store (also know as Local Jo's!)...
Best parenting advice I've ever received: "Find other parents to share the fun and frustration with!"
Worse parenting advice I've ever received: "Don't hold your baby too much or you will 'ruin' them."
If I had a whole day to myself, I'd: Kick everyone out of the house and veg on the sofa reading books and watching movies.

Additional Info

Neighbourhood/City: West end Halifax
Work status: Work at home, part-time
Maritial Status: Married
Gender: Female
Age: 31-35
High school attended: Sackville High

Hi Charmaine, I just picked up my flyers on the lawn and I normally just toss them in the recycling bin, but today for some reason I didn't. And there was the Webmaster Mom on the cover of the Community Hearld. Thank you for setting up this site. I think it's a great idea and was definately needed. I'm a relatively new Mom and get trapped doing a lot of the same things again and again. So I'm looking forward to exploring what's out there. Thanks for this opportunity!
