I have noticed there are a ton of people who work from home in the tri cities/burnaby/ new west area. I work from home but my busy time of the day is 4-8pm when a lot of Fitness, Social Activities, Dinners, Workshops and other Meet ups happen. I can always use a break in the middle of the day or start my day with some company and some exercise. The purpose of this meet up is to connect other stay at home moms, work from home people, shift workers or entrepreneurs who may have some free time duri …

… As a self employed dad, I find it difficult to get out on a regular basis without a defined appointment time and it is difficult to get together with famillies similar to mine. I am hoping that stay at home parents and work at home parents will get together and share their ideas on common challenges in this type of environment. I have set this meetup so that any member can set up an event with the hopes that we will continue to get a constant stream of new ideas and new events to participate in. …

If you've been hurt by a previous relationship, this is the group for you. Today, with an over 50% divorce rate and even more relationships going awry, it's almost impossible for you NOT to be heart broken, at least once in your life.

There are a lot of reasons that explain why we feel the way we do, from our brain …

Of course along with the caregiving is the stress.  The physical and emotional health of the caregiver sometimes becomes comprised.  Among many of the problems that caregivers experience are depression, sleeplessness, a sense of isolation, family tensions, grief, and loss of the person you knew before! Do any of these sound familiar! Well, we ma …
