When my father passed away, his business went with him. He wasn’t the most organized person and his business records were practically non-existent. There was really no way for us to carry on the business, or even sell it. It was such a shame. He worked so hard to build up a business only to [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you know that I live in Northern California, not Palm Springs. We’re spending the holiday at my in-laws’ this year. It’s about a 12-hour drive from our house (and luckily our oldest daughter and her boyfriend are coming with us and can [...]

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 [...]
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.
