Setting Goals & Getting Them Done {pt 2}
Hi all! If you aren't on Facebook, then you probably missed the bonus surprise I mentioned last night. Just before Christmas I was invited to write a guest post on StartUp Mindset. They are a site dedicated to posting information and inspiration for start ups and...
Setting Goals & Getting Them Done {pt 1}
For many of us, the first months of a new year can be a time of reflection and goal setting. I know lots of people who get jazzed about that. They are thrilled to look back at the good, bad and ugly that unfolded in the past 12 months. They assess it, learn from it...
2014 In Review
Hi all! I know it's a Saturday, which usually means I don't post...but we are several days into the new year and before it escapes any further, I wanted to throw up a quick "Year In Review" post. Thank you all for a great year. For all the support. For all of...

The Gift of Survival {DIY Winter Emergency Car Kit}
Over the last month or so, I've been busily putting together Christmas gifts...in an effort to keep from losing my mind at the very end. All in all, it's going well. I just have one more gift to put together, then I'll call it good. And while what I'll be showing...
The White Christmas Ball
{via 9News} This year I'm celebrating my golden birthday. 28 on the 28th of December. I know it hasn't quite happened yet...but with a birthday that close to Christmas, I'm usually worn out, full of over eating, or on the road driving cross country on the actual...

Wild About Water
