As the CEO of my family, one of the most important things to me is making sure that dinner every night is a family affair. Whether it's something I've slaved over, just thrown in the crockpot earlier that day, or takeout I've picked up, it is important that we all sit and eat and exchange…

Things have been pretty quiet here this week, I know. Our church/school is having Vacation Bible School (VBS) this week, which I've come to realize also stands for Very Busy Summer.

Last week I was honored to accept an invitation to attend a business luncheon where the guest of honor was none other than the Money Diva, Suze Orman! Wow, is she a stunner?!! I was so nervous as I stood there, waiting in line to have her sign my personal copies of her authored books. …

Last week the weather here was insanely gorgeous! So unseasonably nice and I have never, ever, ever, ever been more ready for warmer weather! William, Jacob, and I took a few moments to enjoy the niceness from Mother Nature, and it was such a treat! Does blowing bubbles ever get old for kids? Please tell…
