I became my own boss so I could be in charge of my work-life balance, and this week I realized it was time to brush up on my management skills.
Have you ever had those days when everything is clicking and moving and grooving—you’re on fire with productivity? I have those days, too. When I’m drunk [...]

four years ago today…
… I was lying in a hospital bed, playing cards with my best friend, taking bets on the size and weight of my baby boy. At 11:46 pm, Dillon arrived weighing in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 inches long. I can’t remember who won the bet.
I can remember how magical it felt to [...]

the generation of choice
I had a wonderful telephone conversation with my grandmother recently. The surface of small-talk was broken, and suddenly we were chatting candidly about how different it is today.

a dash of domestic diva
We all have the same hours of the day, and it’s easy to fill those hours with a whole lot something, or a whole lot of nothing. I stay home with my children while simultaneously juggling several professional projects, but I don’t think I’m busier than anyone else. In fact, I have no desire to [...]

ups & downs of twitterbooking
That’s what my husband calls it when I’m on the computer, chatting up my social network.
In my quest for balance, I’m seeking a happy medium in my love/hate relationship with the Internet. There are plenty of advantages, but it also has an addictive quality. I have wondered if they make a patch to help cure [...]

introverted extrovert
I’m a more-the-merrier kind of person. Table for 12? Awesome. I’m hosting a get-together? Sure, bring a friend. In high school, I ran around with pom poms and secured the superlative “Most School Spirit.” I’m not kidding. And then again, you’re probably not surprised.
But at the heart of this extroverted personality is a woman who [...]

back to basics
I haven’t forgotten I owe you an update on MyMeWriMo. I’m not attempting to tease you. There will be no grand reveal: Surprise! I wrote a whole book in one month, and I’m searching for an agent now!
Not. But I did make progress and have some interesting revelations to share. I’ll get to that later this week.
First, [...]

just chill
If you’re like me, you’re having a small panic attack that the end of the year is pretty much here. Rather than doing the healthy thing– put all my big ideas and projects on hold until January 1– I think I can cram a bunch of stuff in at the last minute. Drama! And there’s [...]

friday’s big stories
News just in… the videos of baby Blake have been recovered. Like bits and pieces of shredded paper, my friend George (not the geek squad) pieced together memories that had been scattered and swept into the depths of my hard drive. Thanks to George, I was able to witness something I never got to see… [...]

perspective
This week I was taught, once again, the value of perspective. When I find myself really stressed out and totally confused, it usually means I have lost sight of the bigger picture. I get so bogged down in the tiny details of my circumstances I can’t see my way out.
About a year ago, I wrote [...]
