Don’t let the light hearted approach to life that weaves itself through her five books, Funny Mummy column and media appearances fool you, this is a woman who knows what she is doing. Her mind is keen and she goes from topic to topic quickly and efficiently with little pause.
Born in Toronto of English parents Kathy Buckworth’s childhood was kept on a traditional and loving course by stay-at-home mom and a dad whose business often found him travelling.
Today with her latest book about to be released you will find her still well grounded. Family, a strong sense of self and the importance of good friends balance out her businesslike persona. Kathy describes herself as very social, her network of girlfriends are important to her. In keeping with the true Buckworth style she has maintained ties with her corporate friends, enjoys evenings with the neighbourhood ladies and is entrenched with the moms that she knows through her children.

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan currently living in Colorado, Terri Pepin is a woman who keeps her eyes on the road ahead, even when it isn’t the one that she started her day on.
She graduated with a BA in Political Science from the University of Alberta, intending to go to law school, when she decided to suspend her studies while her husband pursued his career goal of Computer Engineering. While the law may have lost its attraction after working at a law firm, computers replaced it. Terri worked with ISM and EDS, becoming industry certified. While raising two children Sophie, now 12 and Liam 11, she founded her company Maple Leaf Solutions.
Terri is the first to admit that she is a competitive person, she likes that rush of adrenaline and being active in ju-jitsu, running, hiking, biking and 4x4ing. During her family’s 2008 tree cutting hike in Pike National Forest the then 39 year old’s life was about to take another unexpected path.

When you talk to Alanna it doesn't take long for the image to form in your head. Fast forward 10 years; she is in her kitchen, head set on talking to a client overseas, feeding her children lunch and cookies are baking in the oven with the original recipe changed because "When I don't like something, I improve on it until it's great." While she will be multi-tasking in her usual unruffled manner her appearance will be just slightly dishevelled because she confidently resides in the world of reality not one of unrealistic perfection.
