We light candles, wear purple, and hold our collective breath, waiting for that wonderful [...] Sooooo. I’m not really back from vacation yet. I’m no longer in Maine, but I’m writing this post from my mother-in-law’s kitchen table. I’m off to Europe on Thursday with a passel of Girl Scouts (pray for me) and Abby’s spending the next 2 weeks at Camp Grandma. But before I can leave on [...] I’m tempted not to post this because then everyone will know about it. At the end of the month (220 hours from the time of this writing, but who’s counting?), we’re going on a big Griswold-style family vacation to my favorite vacation spot in the whole world.

And then [...] As you read this, I am in Cincinnati, working my buns off on a Building Blocks(sm) study. I love what I do, which is great, and I travel a lot when we’re busy. Abby was mad at me today (yesterday) when I dropped her off at school. She wouldn’t even let me carry my [...] In which I show my marketing fangirl side. I have never hidden my love for Tom Fishburne‘s ideas. He writes a fantastic, hilarious cartoon about marketing, business and innovation. In other words, right in my wheelhouse. New Directions Consulting has been licensing his cartoons for our newsletter for the past few months (we also [...] As if she read this blog and decided that the best way to get some QT with Mommy would be to stay home from school, Abby did just that. I got the fateful call yesterday morning in between tearing my hair out and sobbing violently on my keyboard. “Um, Missy, this is Abby’s teacher. [...]  |
