Last week, over on Instagram, I asked my entrepreneur followers a question: as an entrepreneur, what’s your biggest challenge? There were a number of responses, every single one of which I related to from personal experience. My biggest surprise in reading them, however, was the lightbulb that came to me in response to the questions:…
I was on a call with a friend today (Denise Albright, to be exact—more on her later), and she started the conversation with something like, WOMAN: give me the 60-second run-down on your life! It is funny that even my dearest friends feel like they can’t wrap their head around/keep up with my zig-zagging in…
Helllooooo. It’s me. Long time no talk, but what’s new? After almost two decades of entrepreneurship, maybe it’s time to face the facts: I’m a sporadic blogger at best. If blog posts ever start appearing here regularly, start asking questions. I will have been kidnapped by aliens and replaced with a much more focused robot,…
I turn 39 this Friday, and I started my first biz when I was 22. It feels like a long time ago. I took $1500 of babysitting money, and over the course of the next ten years, turned it into a business doing almost two million dollars gross annually. It was awesome, until it wasn’t….
I’ve mentioned curveballs on this blog before, right? They seem to be good things to blog about, and blogging about them helps me see the good in them, difficult as they may be. This past April, the love of my life threw me another one. He’s getting good at that—too good, I’d say. I love…

Note: in addition to my current favorite books on the topic of home schooling below, you’ll also find affiliate links, because while I’m writing about homeschooling, I’m also running a business experiment. Because you know, curiousity. If you click, I may earn a small, but delightful, commission, for which I’m ever so grateful. Last Friday,…
I just did an Instagram live about some changes that are happening in our lives over here. I’m not totally comfortable getting into the details just yet, but I did want to take a minute to tell all 48,000 of you* (mind-boggling, by golly), a little bit about what’s going on with me. But first,…
We all want to change something at some point in our lives. If you’re a recovering perfectionist like me, you might find yourself wanting to change all the things all the time. (Please tell me I’m not alone here.) While contentment is great, and I fully recognize the value and necessity for contentment and gratitude…
