Musings From My Minivan
Do you know what you get when a bunch of super intelligent, highly capable, incredibly social moms come together to talk parenting, nutrition, guilt and options? You get a darn good time! I was very honored to serve as the hostess of the Moms nutrition panel at recent McDonald’s Workshop where we engaged in an open dialog about parenting with real moms of real kids. [Read more...]
Often I find myself with very little time to get done what I need to get done. Therefore, anytime I can combine tasks I am thrilled. And anytime I can complete those tasks with the aid of what I like to refer to as a Parenting Partner, I am over the moon. I have been shopping at Walgreens for my cosmetics and prescriptions my whole life. But as I have increased in age what I turn to Walgreens for has increased as well; [Read more...]
I have known about Peapod for several years now. I even had the great fortune to tour their distribution center in 2010 because of my work as a marketainer. I was impressed not just with the efficiency of the system, but with the variety and high quality of their produce.

That is until life takes a serious left turn, throws us off course, and strands us in need. That’s exactly what happened to me this past holiday month. [Read more...]
A year ago today I laid up in bed and started mapping out my intentions for 2012. I needed some focus and clarity of my energy, so I plotted a course of action for my year. I listed in detail 6 tasks that I felt were the top of my priority list to accomplish in order to spur forward progression in my personal and professional lives. Looking back and grading my outcome, I may have fell short of my literal goals, but overall I fell up, not down. [Read more...]
As you may know by now, I was a victim of sexual abuse as a young girl. Like many victims I started biting my nails to deal with my stress. But you don’t have to be a survivor of abuse to bite your nails. It’s a bad habit that many possess. It only gets worse in the company of stress. And these days who is without that? [Read more...]
