My second Mother’s Day was a wonderful success. So much in fact, I am actively advocating celebrating once a month! Us moms deserve it, don’t we?!

I try not to take things for granted, honestly. But a person really gets use to having things a certain way. For me, it’s being a spoiled little princess. I admit there isn’t anything I want for. If we want it, we get it. Simple as that. Don’t get me wrong; we bust our butts, […]

The last time I got my hair cut, I was about seven months pregnant. Not wanting to do something crazy and overwhelm my hormones, I kept it simple; cut off a few inches and added lots of layers to “lighten the load.” So you better believe, six months later, I was in desperate need […]

Today is Administrative Professional’s Day and as I am an “Administrative Professional” that means today we celebrate ME. (Don’t you dare call me a secretary or I will hunt you down.) My boss, always worried about being the last to recognize special occasions, left my gift on my desk where I would be sure to […]

Four jobs I’ve had:

2. Telephone Outreach Program Caller for the University of Portland (Woohoo TOP Callers!)
3. Sales associate at Meier & Frank (Shut up, it put me through college.)
4. Purchasing/receiving admin at BMC West (where […]

Do you ever have days where you just feel like you don’t matter? Like you don’t have any real friends? Like people take you for granted and just don’t want the same thing from you as you do from them?
Ughhh. I have been feeling that way lately. Every time I log into my admin […]
