The Hayleys are staring down one of the more hectic weeks we’ve had on our schedule. Three holiday parties, a marathon, a critical meeting at work, a client deadline, end-of-month work tasks, small group, and two event committee meetings. Whew. I’m tired just from typing all of that! The good news is that after midday […]

It’s a Miracle
I thought I was doing well to get my work email inbox under control yesterday – from 40 emails to 8. That’s impressive, my friends. But not nearly as impressive as what I was able to do with my personal email inbox: It’s a miracle. And I didn’t even have to visit Miracle Max!
I’d Say I Want a Do-Over, But…
This has been a crazy week. Just crazy on all fronts. From the high of completing the half-marathon to the low of our main furnace unit going out, a jam-packed social calendar and more deadlines at work than seem possible, we have been up and down more than the Dow Jones average.

Gift Idea – And How-To
It’s hard to believe, but I’ve already finished pulling together holiday gifts for our clients. {I’m almost done with the Hayley’s Christmas gifts as well, but that’s another story.} Just like in my private life, I’m always looking to save a penny when it comes to how the company spends money. It’s not that I […]
I Appreciate Great Customer Service
So when I experience great customer service, I want to share it with the whole world! Several years ago, my Baby Sister gave me a dozen carafes as a Christmas gift. She knows how I love to entertain. These have certainly come in handy: The only problem is using them outside of a party situation. […]
