When I hit publish on this post, I will have written every day for 31 days. It was quite a challenge. I wanted to give up a bunch of times and there were times when I probably should have just quit rather than posting a crappy post. But I learned a lot, even from …
I’ve been in some form of Human Resources or Staffing for 17 years. That is not fun to say. Don’t get me wrong, I like what I do; I just can’t believe I’ve actually been doing it for that long. When you do one thing for that long, you eventually learn a thing or two. …
I’m not a thrill seeker. I like to read and take pictures and make stuff. I like to hang out with my kids and husband and watch tv and maybe go to the zoo now and then. I don’t need to go on a roller coaster or jump out of a plane or cross the …
I have a problem. I’ve always been a person who hits the snooze button in the morning. Usually three times a morning. Lately, I’ve been hitting the snooze button and not even waking up to do it. Like, I would wake up and realize it was 27 minutes after the alarm was set for. I …

Today I’m supposed to be an organizing my office. I don’t have an office! Ha! If I did have one, I would want it to look like this: via Or this: via Or this: via
The goal today was to organize the car, but, here in the Northeast, the weather has been nasty. Which means, I’m taking today as one of the off days in the Organized Home in 30 Days Challenge. Instead, I’m going to talk about how our family (tries to) organize our finances. We have a very …
This one is tough for me. I’m not really a keepsake person. I guess I’m not very sentimental. But, I get it. Mementos of moments in time that are important. I’ve kept some of my kids baby clothes. I still have my high school gymnastics team leotard tucked in a drawer. I have a shirt …
