It’s been a dizzying whirlwind of a year. I think it is most valuable for me to do these year-end posts so I can take a moment and realize what I HAVE gotten done this year, instead of focusing on my unfinished To-Do lists. Especially during these morning-sickness days when I spend more time on […]

(image via Feedly) If you are a follower of many blogs, you have probably heard by now that Google Reader will be no more starting tomorrow. I used to use it all of the time, but became overwhelmed when I added too many blogs. As a blog reader, my life will not be greatly affected […]

This post is dreadfully overdue, but one of my favorite parts of SNAP! conference in April was getting to speak on a panel with Michelle of Maddycakes Muse and Sarah of Confetti Sunshine about how we plan fabulous parties on a budget.

I hope you are having a wonderful day celebrating our nation’s independence! (Unless you live somewhere else, in which case, you can disregard this post).
