There have been days when I’ve almost run out and rented an office.
I know, I know. How on earth could I ever consider giving up working at home?
Well, I did say, “almost”. But there are days when an office looks pretty darn good.
Because I work from my home, there are distractions and demands [...]

I recently heard a woman say that being called a “work at home mom” was professionally demeaning. Being one myself, my initial reaction was to agree with her. “That’s right, I’m a professional, I’m not just a bored housewife dabbling with a hobby here,” I said to myself. Upon reflection however, I came to realize that I disagree. Deeply.

Today is Casey’s first day of school, 7th grade– I can’t believe it.  Lauren starts college next week.  As bummed out as I was that summer was over, I have to admit that it will be good to get back to my routine.  It’s very easy to be distracted during summer with kids home, the [...]

Wouldn’t that be disappointing? No one likes to think that they have wasted their chance, missed their opportunity. But that’s exactly what happens to many.
Sometimes you can become so focused on a single-minded purpose that you miss the opportunity when [...]

Well, we didn’t do much this summer in the way of traveling, so now I find myself cramming in some last minute trips.  Casey (my youngest daughter) and I just got back from a quickie trip to visit my best friend in San Pedro.  It’s kind of a grueling trip because it takes almost 4 [...]

On Thursday my hubby lived a dream of playing baseball at AT&T park where the Giants play. Not because he’s a big Giants fan, but because it was totally cool to play on a major league ball field.
He plays in a men’s hardball league every Sunday and let me clue you in to how [...]

My husband will have 30 years with his company soon (within a few years) which has had us toying with the idea of his retirement. He really is too young to retire (not even 50 yet), so he’s been bouncing ideas around of things he might do when the time does come.
When I first [...]

Softball season is starting and it pretty much takes over my life at this time of year. My husband and I coach and I’m on the board so it’s hectic right now. It’s a time for crockpot meals and endless loads of laundry.
As demanding as it is, I just love being involved. [...]
