Sitting here watching my husband rock my daughter to sleep for a nap, it is difficult to forget just what my priorities are. Sure, having a million dollar business would be great. Being on the cover of Forbes before I hit 30 would be amazing. Revolutionizing the world would be incredible. But so is that [...]
Do you know what the most commonly viewed post is on this site to date? 10 Tips to Clean a House in Under an Hour. Out of over 3,000 unique views that this site has received since its inception, 12% of all visitors came here solely for that article. I didn’t intend for that post [...]
Today I had the experience of discovering my own personal power. Hubby and I have been working on our “pretirement” vision of our life. What would that look like? Family time, travel, community contribution, outdoor time, friends, entertaining, and fun. We had been toying with the idea of going to Alberta to visit family for [...]
So, it has been over a year since I started this blog last April. Back then, I was pregnant, neurotic, creative, and needing an outlet. Today I am watching my daughter’s first birthday approaching with what could only be described as a mix of trepidation, excitement, and nausea. She can’t be one. No. She is [...]
A lot of business coaches, experts, and professionals have a tendency to pretend that they live in an impenetrable fortress of success. That they, unlike you, drive Bentleys, live in giant mansions on the California coast, travel the world first class, and never eat caviar before noon. And you’re probably expecting me, someone who talks [...]
Nine short months ago, I was just an entrepreneur. I was one really, really pregnant entrepreneur – but still, not a mom. I had been in business for almost 6 years at that point – surely nothing could change my outlook on business so drastically that I would find myself doing something else entirely within [...]
This isn’t going to be a long post, since it is 1am… I just felt inspired to write this to every other mompreneur out there, burning the midnight oil right now. When you’re starting or running your own business, working on a new project, launching a new product, or even just getting through the day [...]
I’ll tell you. It’s about site issues, my triumphant return, domestic ADD, and my thoughts on surviving entrepreneurial motherhood thanks to an android phone. A lot for one post, I know. But they’re all important topics today and I feel they each warrant attention. First, about the site issues. During redevelopment, somehow I ended up [...]
So, while I’m revamping the blog (and I have major ideas in my head that I want to get out here and share!) I would like to redesign the entire look and feel. Make it a bit more bright and cheery around here! But alas, I suck at finding good WordPress designs for personal blogs. [...]
… by screwing something up. Royally. You see, in all of my infinite wisdom as a freelance writer, I had done a lot of things for my husband in his business – all trying to help, of course. But it started to cross a line where I was doing communications on his behalf, and it [...]
Listen up, moms… Feeling good is IMPORTANT! Whether you’re feeling good about your body by exercising and eating right, feeling good about your parenting by doing the very best you can for your kids, feeling good about your house by decorating it and keeping it clean, or feeling good about your cooking by slaving over [...]
I’m currently reading a book called “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Ecker. Normally I don’t go for a lot of that “if you believe it, it will come” junk, but I picked this book up from my dad, and honestly, I really like it. Unlike most self help/personal or professional development books [...]
