Ok, I know that is a heck of a way to attempt to reconnect with you all after my unplanned, unannounced, unexplained hiatus. One day I was blogging, conversing and interacting. The next, I was gone. I am sure I owe everyone and apology. Most assuredly an explanation. So, I will go ahead and tell [...]
That’s right gang! We made it to our first bloggy birthday. I can hardly believe it. It also happens to be the birthday of Making Life Work for You. Both blogs started on Typepad, which was great software, but didn’t quite suit my needs. So, after a great conversation with Chris Cree, I shifted to [...]
I wish this had happened before the Blog Savannah UnConference. It would have been great for the Working Mommy Bloggers Session.
And you are dern straight these pictures are totally cropped and strategically aimed as to not include my no makeup face. Seriously – did you really? I think not. If Benn can hide behind a [...]
The holidays were amazing!
My sister had my niece 7 weeks early. All are fine, but Phylisa is still in the hospital. She should come home soon. Ain’t she pretty!
Both of my babies decided to get matching pairs of double ear infections.
Babies also decided to get mommy and daddy sick too.
My website crashed – hard
Notice that [...]
So it’s a late night stroll. We are strolling none the less.
It has been a week! Too much fun and too much busy. Just the way it it supposed to be when you are getting ready for that time of the year when everybody takes off and the kids are home from school. [...]

Tim Johnson called Beautiful Chaos his “favorite find of 2007.” Yes that Tim Johnson – yes this Beautiful Chaos.
It must be Lani.
As appreciative as I am, I am more humbled and convicted. I made a promise. I think I am dangerously close to breaking it. Tim, among others, have been incredibly supportive. I have been [...]
If you haven’t seen the new Bubble Gum Interviews on Lani’s site, you should.
These have been around for a while, but I never get tired of Athol’s Bad MLS Pictures.
$9 spit…gross, I know – but I am not kidding.
The Tea Cup Story – I am a fan. I’ll have to tell you why sometime.
Liz [...]
There are some birthday parties going on. Two in particular.
Timothy at Carpe Factum and his beautiful daughter, Abby celebrated their birthday yesterday. He writes a fantastic post about (not) growing up. However, you are missing out if you don’t check out the post he wrote last year.
The whole gang over at Joyful Jubilant Learning are [...]
Big Thanks to Todd Carpenter over at Blog Fiesta for inviting Lani and I to come over and play. Todd has been interviewing bloggers in the real estate and mortgage industry for a while. He has built up quite the list.
In a small twist, Todd didn’t do the interviews. He let us interview each other. [...]
Joyful Jubilant Learning has been one of the greatest sources of “miracle grow” I have found in a long time. The group over there is energetic, smart, and supportive. If you haven’t been there, go now – then come back.
I told you it was great. And you can be a part of the awesome collective! Here’s [...]
Dewayne Melancon over at Genuine Curosity has tagged me with a “5 sites you use at work” after he had been tagged by Ariane.
Like Dewayne, I am not sure if these are “top” – meaning, it is very possible that you could say, “Well what about…” and I would rethink.
But, these are five that I visit [...]
I first encountered the “W” list over at Liz’s place. Thrilled probably mostly describes how I felt when she included me in her thoughts. Liz’s brain is a wonderful place – I get excited every time I realize I have passed through there.
The W-List was created by Valeria Maltoni to compile a database [...]
Big congrats to Lani Anglin. Hubby picked her name out of the hat Tupperware bowl first thing this morning. I can’t wait to send her Rosa’s book.
And, since you are dying to know…here are the answers to the bloggy challenge:
Kekuewa (Kay cu eva) – “Sassy”
Kauailani (kwhy ee lonnie) – “Flower from heaven”
Kahaunani (ka how non [...]
If you haven’t left a comment, made a guess, or considered yourself meme tagged, you still have time! The mail lady just left me a box…this beautiful, hardcover, autographed copy of Managing with Aloha , by Rosa Say, is waiting for you to win!
The contest is moving along nicely – feel free to tell your friends…or not. You may not want the competition.
I talked to Rosa. She is putting the prize winning book in the mail today – signed…so, the winner gets an autographed copy of Managing with Aloha! How cool is that!
On to other news – thanks [...]
I am stealing a Lizism and I hope she doesn’t mind. In fact, I am hoping she will be so flattered that she will dispense her expert advice on a question I cannot answer.
I have been thinking about (there’s the stolen item) blogging:
There’s not many folks in my area that blog on a regular basis. We [...]
I don’t know what I would do without my laptop. It is my lifeline to running my home, business, and education. I use it for everything. My husband is surprised that I cannot control it with my mind yet.
Well, I can’t. In fact, I am using the keyboard right now and it is harder than [...]
Just came across a post by Ann Michael. Rasied a great question about blog content and interest and such. It got me to thinking since I author two blogs, a website, and a newsletter.
Would you guys tell me if I was putting out junk? I mean not in a public comment or anything (remember, you love [...]
The internet is a wondrous thing – thanks, Mr. Gore! The plethora of information is incredible. At any time of the day or night, you can buy, watch, read, look, or listen to practically anything.
However, it still amazes me what people will put on the internet. Like only the people who will appreciate their [...]
