Kerry Sauriol’s Summary

After years of working with developing my husbands web business, I am looking for more opportunities inspired by my blogging experiences.

I am nurturing a network of Canadian Bloggers..women, mothers, etc...where advertisers can see the marketing potential in these sites across Canada. The site is called Wet Coast Women

I have appeared twice on CBC Radio One in connection to blogging and 'mommy blogging' due to my site CrunchyCarpets.com and would love the opportunity to speak more about this topic.
