I’m having an awesome time visiting home, (NJ and NY), and connecting with tons of friends and family. We have a lot of roots here so we make plenty of stops and are staying at four different locations through the week. And on this trip, my hubby and I are even on a…
You know when you’ve had a really bad day and are loathing in self-pity? Until you turn on the news and realize that bad days consist of homes burning down or a major health crisis. And then all of a sudden your bad day doesn’t seem so bad after all! It’s all a…
I still can’t shake the images of last weeks tornado tragedy in Oklahoma. So heartbreaking to see so many people without homes or any belongings at all. All the petty stuff that I get annoyed about everyday, takes a backseat when I think about what could happen to us at any time. Our…
I’m back from the Organizers conference and I have four words to say: “I love New Orleans!” Okay, so not the main focus of my trip, but that is a great city and I can’t believe I was a first-timer. In addition to cajun food, classes and speakers, I got a sneak peak…
Wanna know something you probably don’t know about me? In the last couple years years my bedside has pretty much gone from historical fiction to motivational and marketing reading.

The kiddos are on spring break and we’re enjoying a staycation this week. The key to keeping two active boys from tearing each others eyes out is having an activity planned every day. And it’s amazing how much crap-ola I’ll have collected in my purse my end of week. Ticket stubs, snotty tissues,…

Whatever it is that you celebrate, I hope that you’re thoroughly enjoying it as 2012 winds up. I’ll keep this short and sweet this week. I made you a quick video on my best tips and strategies from this last quarter to keep you motivated through the holiday season and into the new…
It’s crunch time. Even though we’re not hosting Thanksgiving, the pressure’s on to get my work done by this evening. Not the world’s worst problem to have. I need to shorten my work week so I can indulge in food coma by a warm fire. Yeah, it could be worse. But even still…
First off, I really hope you, or anyone you know that’s been affected by Hurricane Sandy, are healthy and safe. NY/NJ are close to my heart (my home!) and I’m still amazed by the devastation. My love and prayers to you. But onto today’s post. If you have kids you have a ridiculous…
