It’s finally summer break! I look forward to this time every single year. The alarm clock goes off, the activities stop, and the schedule clears. The kids are finally home. After about a week, though, reality starts to set in. The kids sure are home. All day long. Every day. Bickering. Hungry. Bored. I love having […]
Did you know that when I was in college, I tried to sell Mary Kay? It was never a conscious decision, but before I knew it, I had sales quotas and team meetings every week. I had in home parties and private makeover sessions with all of my friends. It started out really fun, but […]

Clearly, I can’t get enough of the whole paper planning thing. Even though I use a planner regularly, I’ve still decided to try using a bullet journal again for 2018. Now, since I don’t use mine as a planner, my system is a bit different than most. And that leads to a really common question… How […]
It’s that time of year again! We’ve all lost track of what we were doing, forgotten about our goals, and we’re looking ahead to January first. January. The time for new beginnings. Most people call them New Year’s Resolutions, but I feel like that name gets a bad rep. Resolutions get forgotten within a few […]
Can you believe it’s already mid-November?! Where did the time go?! With a hurricane, a change in extra-curricular activities, and my business focus shifting, time really did fly by. Guys. We just took our above-ground pool down last week. I know. It’s awful. But, here I am, getting new printables ready and working on the business […]
