Welcome back!
“Toddlers and technology – not so different! ” As award-winning author Kathy Buckworth wisely points out, owning a smartphone is a little like adding another child to your family. The device is constantly buzzing, poking, and distracting its owner from whatever it is she’s trying to accomplish. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the uncooperative two-year-old hanging off Mom’s leg. And is that holster really any different from a Baby Bjorn? Get ready for a no-holds-barred trip through the wacky world of toddlers and technology with a mom who really understands as we explore her newest book, The BlackBerry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood!
Kathy Buckworth is the author of several parenting humor books including Journey to the Darkside: Supermom Goes Home and The Secret Life of Supermom. She is the only two-time winner of the Professional Writers Association of Canada Excellence in Humour Writing Award, and her writing appears in national publications and websites around the world through her monthly “Funny Mummy” column.
