As some of you already know, my family and I are in the process of moving from Ontario, Canada to California, U.S. For many years, my husband and I have dreamed of living and working in the Golden State. The reasons why are too long to elaborate here today, so let's leave it at that: it is a dream that is about to come true.

Hey, dear readers,
I know, I know I've been quiet this week on the blog. Although I am busy--we pretty much all are--this is not the reason why I've skipped my Monday Inspiration and Wednesday Behind-the-Scenes posts.
The truth is that being Canadian and moving for work to the United States comes with challenges--as one could expect.

If you're reading my posts in Google Reader and thinking "Oh Dear, she is loosing it!", it's because I'm experiencing technical issues and I'm very sorry about that (in fact, I am totally annoyed and irritated because I'm spending countless precious hours trying to resolve this).

Thank you for your understanding -
Mel

I’m coming back from Salt Lake City where I attended the Alt Summit, a design and craft blogging conference. It was my first time as an attendee and, frankly, I was blown away by the wonderful ladies (I haven’t met the 4 or 5 guys, sorry) that either attended and/or spoke on the panels and keynotes.

Here I am, dragging my wagon, a few hours before putting everything online. And there is a deadline...I have to pack and leave next Tuesday for the Altitude Design Summit! I am excited and nervous at the same time. And just then, I realize I haven't written anything in my blog section o_O ! Stay tuned, as soon as I get the ball rolling, I'll be back at this blog to tell and show more about my process, my discoveries or anything related to a working-at-home mom : )
P.S.:in the meantime, since I am kind of new to blogging, your ideas or suggestions are welcome!
