Heading to Blissdom Canada this week? You probably have all your basic essentials packed: sensible shoes, all your social media apps for your smartphone (AppHipMom shares a few here and Momicon shares a few on her EverythingMom blog here), your costume for the party, your business cards, and a change of underwear. But Blissdom Canada is more than a conference; it’s about having some fun too. So why not grab some fun accessories too
