I’m facilitating the spring session of the Managing Expectations program at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Newmarket for Life With A Baby, a non-profit support group for new and expectant parents in York Region.

On Tuesday, our guest speaker was Laurel Crossley-Byers, B.A., Certified Adult Educator, Life Coach and Parent Educator, aka Opti-Mom.
