Long ago, I wrote a lot about being actively involved with the local Chicago Interactive Marketing Association (CIMA). When I still worked downtown, I was on the board, went to all of their events, and I enjoyed an impressive Rolodex because of it.
Then I started working from home.
And over the summer, I could still get […]

My thermostat is set to 70 degrees. And life is pretty good at 70 degrees.
But one day, I wake up, and things are feeling a little chilly. And on that day I have a lot going on, so I just throw on a sweater and keep going. That night, I’m too tired to go downstairs […]
Although this post is a little dramatic, I mean it when I say you almost lost me last night - as in, my whole family and could have easily died.

We went out to dinner last weekend at Olive Garden. Although my kids would rather go elsewhere, my hubby and I love it there. He especially loves Olive Garden because they have pepperoncini in their salads.

Ah - the joys of BlogTipping. So many great blogs… so little time!

I’m coming back to my online life… slowly! Our week couldn’t have gone better last week - we got a ton of family time, honored a great woman who passed, and my hubby and I grew closer than we ever have before. I hardly plugged in my computer at all over the last 4 days, […]
I know this is not my typical headline. And this might not be my typical post. But after the last two weeks in my life, the post is happening whether I like it or not.
I know I tend to expect quite a lot of myself and take on a ton of commitments. I also usually […]
My blogging buddy and hero Darren Rowse is walking his talk once again over at ProBlogger. I wanted to throw up a quick post to send you over to his site and help him celebrate the 2 year birthday of ProBlogger.net.
Darren has put out a call to Blog for Chickens. Through Oxfam, if you make […]
