College football season kicked off a few weeks ago. Although my University of Arizona wildcats had their standard win over NAU in the season opener, I can’t help but revel in the fact that we now have a W on our board. (Oh, and that we’re not Texas A&M (where my brother-in-law currently attends) who […]
If you’ve never baked something from scratch, you really oughta try it. My toddler has an obsession with kitchens. His favorite “power tools” are the KitchenAid mixer, crock pot, and blender. Since discovering his love affair with cooking (and eating, like his mama), I’ve found myself baking up a storm to keep him entertained (and […]
Confession time: While I write this, I’m actively putting off creating a presentation at the Greater Vail Area Chamber of Commerce I’m giving next week. It’s a presentation I signed up to do. I’m sponsoring their August breakfast (which will be fun and by the time you read this will also be over, which means […]
Here’s the fascinating reality we live in today: Robots are running our lives. What do I mean? It’s hard for me to go to a family gathering without someone, at one point, saying, “I need to Google that to find the answer!” And this baby on the way? I’m not nearly as worried about shopping […]
The path of least resistance is the most traveled path. Still, when it came to changing my marketing agency’s name, I had no choice but to veer off that path. Have you ever had to do the same in your business? Take a harder route to achieve something greater? It sucks because let’s be honest […]
Last week, me and my son made the trip from Tucson to Vancouver for my best friend’s wedding. I was the Matron of Honor and my guy was the ring bearer. When we arrived, my Canadian friends and I met up for lunch at White Spot and then took an hour drive out of town to Abbotsford […]
Newsflash: You’re human. So am I. Part of our shared human quality is that we stumble and fail from time to time. Even the best of us have our faults, downfalls, and days when we feel like nothing is going our way. Lately, that’s been the norm in my corner of the world. You see, in […]
Last week, I piled 4 suitcases, a jogging stroller, an Orca cooler, myself, my husband, and my 6-month old into our white Rav-4 and made the 12.5 hour trip up to Denver, Colorado for the 2016 Digital Marketing Summit (plus a visit with some family along the way). The drive was long but the experience […]
It turns out, creating something (or someone) and bringing it/him/her into the real world changes the way you look at things. But, it doesn’t always change the way you do things. Take the ultimate example: creating human life. (Stick with me here. This won’t be all baby talk.) Nothing is more life changing than having […]
Come with me into my bedroom for a minute. Imagine it’s 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning. I’ve just fed my dog, let him outside and now everyone is cozied up back in bed ready to enjoy a few more hours of rest, except… I can’t go back to sleep. So while the house snores […]
