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. I have little kids at home, so a full-time job in my old profession isn’t an option. Recently, someone offered me a part … Read more
Alright Moms and Dads…the day has arrived. After many months at home, no working at a paying job (goodness knows I worked plenty at home as a full-time mom), I just started a part-time job. This is the story of my transitioning back to work. It was comical, in a way. The last time I … Read more
It can be difficult to respond to compliments, especially when it comes out of nowhere. I especially struggle with any sort of comment on my appearance, and I usually brush them off. Though as I get older and more wrinkly I may become more gracious about it. In this article, we’ll give you tons of … Read more

Alright everyone. This one is a personal one. The honest truth is that in my life, I’d never really hated anyone. I’d definitely disliked people. I’d really disliked people. But I never hated anyone. But then I did. I hated someone. I hated them with every fiber of my being. I hated them so much … Read more
Sometimes it is hard to know just what to say when you are getting to know someone, especially if you think that you might really like them. This is especially the case if you haven’t really spoken to the (young) man before, and you really want to make an impression upon him. You can ask … Read more
Ugh. Bedwetting. This is an issue in my house, and has been an issue in my house going on now for close to two years. I have two boys. They are close together, less than two years apart. I didn’t push to potty train them, and they were day trained when they were around three … Read more
One of the greatest challenges in life is figuring out how to overcome yourself. In general, WE are our greatest challenges. Our greatest hurdles. Our greatest and more significant enemies.
