Social Media Articles
We have a lot of fun with social media, especially Instagram. I’m constantly learning about the latest ways to promote small businesses on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WordPress blogs. There’s so much info out there it’s hard not to suffer from information overload. So I try to post about useful social media articles and tips that I’ve personally found to be useful.

Today we made the Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe from the I Love Cowichan Blog. Mmmm it's spicy good. It's more like a loaf than a cake. I enjoyed mine with butter.
