Calgary blogger Merry Kuchle is best known for her popular blog Merry with Children, but you’ll also find this social media nut and foodie sharing her favourites across social networks like Twitter, Yelp, Pinterest and Facebook. On her blog, Merry shares tasty recipes from her own kitchen, explores Calgary and chronicles her life as both mom and stepmom. She has worked extensively with brands to provide reviews, sponsored and guest posts. You may have even caught her in an occasional TV appearance! Merry has recently taken a step back from her work in sales and marketing in oil and gas to focus more on her writing and social media work, and to spend more time with her family.
