momcafé Event  -  Moms Behind the Headlines - VANCOUVER

Our upcoming event, 'Moms Behind the Headlines - VANCOUVER', is on Friday, November 27, 2009 at 9:00am
Two successful Vancouver moms come into our living rooms every day - on TV and on the coffee table. Balancing work and family is a challenge in itself but these moms in the media are doing it all while being in the spotlight too!
The speakers at Moms Behind the Headlines - VANCOUVER will be:
