Who am
I?Hi, I'm Karen, usually known around the web as "loislane." I hail from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a vibrant city a stone's throw east of the Rocky Mountains, home of the world famous Calgary Stampede. My family includes my groovy husband Miles, an editor at the Calgary Herald newspaper and talented musician, my sweet genius daughter Victoria (Tory), 7, my bright and adorable son Marlon, 3, and two happenin' stepsons, Angus, 15, and Kieran, 12.
I'm what you'd call a WAHM - work at home mom. I freelance to the Calgary Herald, stories which appear on the Canadian Press newswire and subsequently sneak into papers across the country. I've had features run from sea to shining sea. I have finished a magazine piece for Today's Parent magazine, and I have done contract grunt work for Redbook magazine. Besides all this stuff, I have three children's picturebook manuscripts in the works.
In the past year, Miles has been battling a chronic illness and our lives were really turned upside down. Read more about that here. He's gotten much better now and we are truly thankful for all the support our friends and family have shown us!

Being a WAHM and writer, I am interested in networking with others - sharing parenting tips, debating current parenting philosophy, penny-pinching tips, recipes and anything else WAHMS (and WAHDs) could use to make life at home a better-organized, fun and fulfilling experience for parents and kids. It's my contention that we don't need to lose our intelligence and creativity in the process of spending our days with the wondrous minds of our wee ones!
