HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and holiday season. Mine was jam packed with friends and family - mostly family.

I don't often use this blog to share personal family stuff - but it's been a very exciting past few weeks for me. You see, my husband and I became grandparents on Christmas morning at 2:02 am. Let me tell you it doesn't get better than that! Holding our precious new born grandson at 3:00 am at the hospital when the rest of the world is sleeping is incredible.

Aaron Bruce weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20" long. He is healthy, beautiful and has a head full of hair.

We look forward to many wonderful years of fishing, hanging out at the cottage, playing on the beach, and just spending time with Aaron.

We'll see what 2009 has in store for us - but my wish for all of you is that you have a year packed full of wonderful memories with your family and friends. And of course much success in your work.

SIMPLY HEALTH - Newsletter

I can't believe it's December already. Time sure is flying.

My Care Necessities just turned 1 years old a few days ago. To celebrate I thought it was time to create a newsletter that I can send to retailers, wholesalers and distributors - oh and a few friends.

People can sign up to receive the newsletter and even pass it on to their colleagues, friends and family members. If you would like to sign up all you have to do is press the sign up button and we'd be happy to add you to our list.

Cheers!

MEDTRADE 2008

WOW - I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. I've been super busy and alot of great things have been taking place.

The last week of October saw Bruce (my husband) and I in Atlanta, Georgia for a gigantic healthcare product show called Medtrade. It truly was huge - even if seasoned veterans were disappointed that it was only half the size. The show went well and just how well will depend on the coming months as orders continue to come in.

We learned alot about HME's, DME's, the business of American healthcare and much more. It was truly a fantastic trip. The bonus was meeting up with friends we hadn't seen since our North Carolina days. What a great time we had dining out and getting re-aquainted.

Last week Bruce and I were in Toronto for the WinDoor tradeshow held anually in November. We really felt the crunch of the economy at this show. Buyers stayed home and the show was virtually void of any traffic. We made the best of it and enjoyed walking downtown - visiting the St. Lawrence Market for the first time - dining at our favourite seafood restaurant Pier 4 with Fred and Sylvia and even the downtime.

Thanks to all the really great people who helped me prepare for my first International Tradeshow: Tim, Elizabeth, Deb, Bruce, Fred, Tanis, Bill from MB Trade, TC4 Graphics and others. Couldn't have done it without you.
