Last week was a week of gratitude. Moms stepped up to the challenge by capturing all things they are thankful for. Here’s a peek at a few entries:
Things That Make You Go “Ooo” (TTMYGO) is a series that shares inspiration aching to be discovered. This is the stuff that adds pizazz to your life. I promise to knock your socks off with all kinds of awesome (projects, people, pictures, perspectives…and other finds that don’t start with “p”). Tell me what you think and share your own discoveries in the comments below…they might just end up on my next TTMYGO post.
Being the day after the US 2012 elections, TTMYGO has no choice but to kick things off with Obama.
Trust that this post is from a purely non-political perspective. I don’t follow politics. I follow show-stoppers.
1. A Motivating Quote On Hope

Last week’s challenge promised a Stella & Dot gift for one lucky #tmeic mom.
Congrats to Bianca B. (@bitsofbee)!
When disaster strikes, we find ourselves asking “why”. Why does a superstorm have to hit the innocent, helpless premature babies in New York? Why does an earthquake have to hit Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere?
The answer is one that is uplifting, life-changing, and personal to each person affected.
Yes, uplifting. I truly believe that disasters are divine intervention in disguise.

Last week’s theme was selfie. There were solo selfies, first-thing-in-the-morning selfies, and selfies with family and friends. Here are three selfies that made me smile. Scroll through the new live feed to check out the rest!
Last week we got to peek at each other’s neighbourhoods. Here are three snapshots from moms in Florida, California, and Vancouver.
The Premier of British Columbia, Christy Clark, invited myself and a few other mom bloggers in BC to a round table discussion.
The topic: issues that affect mothers in this province.
Born a bully? Or raised a bully?
Team Nurture takes the win, in my opinion. I’m no expert, but I do know that kids learn a lot about relationships and social interactions by watching their parents navigate through life. I’m not suggesting that parents are intentionally raising bullies; but perhaps we’re not deliberate enough in our efforts to raise peaceful, compassionate kids.
So how exactly do we do that?

Last week’s challenge had an added element: a giveaway of 4 tickets to The Great Big Boo!
Congrats to Angela V. (@onesmileymonkey) on winning!
As some of you may already know, I sell my handmade tutus online at Tutu Mama. Lots of exciting changes are near for Tutu Mama. For now, I’m excited to announce that Tutu Mama has a new photographer and a new tutu design!
But first, a shout out to Ami Sanyal for all his beautiful work as Tutu Mama’s original photographer. Thank you for everything!
Now, I’d like to welcome Janice Croze from Janice Croze Photography.
Besides being a photographer, Janice (or Miss J, as Tiana calls her) is a mother of two and a blogging pioneer at the immensely popular, 5 Minutes for Mom! We actually connected in the ladies’ washroom at an inspiring event for mothers. You’ll get a chance to find out more about Janice in an upcoming interview.
She met with us on Monday to photograph Tutu Mama’s latest tutu: the Toadstool Tutu. Tiana will be wearing this design as part of her Minnie Mouse costume on Halloween.
Welcome!
