Happy New Year! I hope that 2014 is off to a great start! Instead of a resolution, I decided to have a theme for 2014: practicing kindness towards myself. I talk more about here and how I am trying to get more sleep instead of pushing myself as hard as I did in 2013. … Continue reading
In case you missed it, I made my first live appearance on TV! I was on the mom panel talking about parenting topics on Live in the D, a show on Local 4 in Detroit, Michigan. I was pretty nervous since I had never been on TV before. I talk about my fears here. … Continue reading
The last time I wrote, it was the beginning of school. A lot has happened since then. I talked about how my daughter got on the wrong bus, and we couldn’t find her. Here is the silver lining follow up to that story here. The silver lining was short lived. My … Continue reading

It has been awhile since I posted on here. What can I say – time has gotten away from me. I got a new job teaching at social media strategy at a local business college. We moved. I picked up some more freelance work. Now it is summer. And anyone who stays home/works out of … Continue reading
Last week was an intense blogging week. For the Detroit News MichMoms blog, I wrote a post about how I struggle with the decision whether or not to get the flu shot for me and my family. I was also inspired by my daughter’s fasciation with Inauguration 2013. She had the day off from school since it … Continue reading

This week, I wrote about the Macy’s Culinary Council Chef Takashi Yagihashi Cooking Demo at Macy’s located in the Somerset location in Troy, Michigan. It sounded like a fabulous and delicious event, and I was totally … Continue reading
