Nothing is better in the warm weather months than watching our children explore the joy of digging in the sand. I love their carefully cultivated sandcastles. It’s even better to watch in their very own sandbox from the comfort of your own back yard. Undertaking a task of setting up a sand box can be …

Today we are talking about the common practice of taking out loans to fund studying for the bar ( as well as my experience in funding bar study). I was a law student many years ago, and I can speak from experience about how that has played out for the folks who did, and the …

Rowing is challenging, I’m not going to lie. I personally love the sport of rowing, having been a part of it for many years (albeit a few years back).

Alright folks, I am in the process of learning Quickbooks on the fly. I have very little schooling or learning about bookkeeping, accounting, or managing a business large enough to need Quickbooks.

Though as I get older and more wrinkly I may become more gracious about it. In this article, we’ll give you tons of …

I’m not writing this post to bash on Great Wolf Lodge. After all, any time or place, where thousands of people congregate, is going to have germs. So this post isn’t a “bash” type post. I am not claiming that the company did or didn’t do something that caused us to get sick. But the …

I have struggled with anger in recent years. The thing I hate about my anger as a mother is that it erupts, sometimes randomly. I have always prided myself on my mental discipline, and positivity. Obviously with my anger I have been failing. In looking for ways to work on my anger, I came across …
