My friend’s daughter Sage is visiting us for the summer. She’s a week younger than my youngest daughter and they’re like sisters. Between all of our regular summer activities like going to the beach and the river, they’ve decided to start a business.
They made up flyers offering their services as dog walkers, car washers, yard [...]
While in the grocery store line today, I ran into a mom that I hadn’t seen in quite a while. We both have two kids and our oldest are just one year apart. They used to be in girl scouts together. I asked her what she’d been up to and she told me that she [...]

Many years ago, after the birth of our second child, my husband and I were trying to decide whether or not it would be possible for me to stay home.
At first we thought that since we were just about breaking even, there was no way we could ever make it happen. But when we [...]

Then I became a parent.

If there was one thing I hated as a kid, it was beets. I couldn’t stand the look of them. Or the taste of them… although, I’m not sure I remember ever actually eating one. I just knew I would hate them.
And so, my whole life I’ve held to [...]
Last month I lost my hard drive. Well, I’m still dealing with it. A friend of mine had recommended a local computer guy to try to retrieve my data from the old hard drive. The last time I talked to him, he hadn’t been able to get his data recovery program to run on my [...]
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 [...]
