Until recently, I had been very proactive in trying to improve my life, clear away the clutter, and take a highly active tack on parenting. I read and wrote lots of blog posts, and tried to implement the ideas found there into my life.
Then we lost the baby.
As my few meager posts recently will attest, […]
There is a lot of confusion about cell phone numbers, telemarketing calls and the National Do Not Call List.
I have seen the spam emails urging you to add your cell phone number to the list before some time period lapses. But my Dad sent me a link to the Snopes.com article. Short story is, it says that […]
Viral marketing website www.waitless.org by Sprint is making its time-saving videos known on many blogs and other life improvement websites.
But the videos actually include simple, easy to learn tricks that are actually usable in real life. Ok, most of us probably shouldn’t attempt the e-brake parallel parking, but the rest are practical.

However, I […]
I hate doing laundry, but I hate to iron more.
Fortunately, there are some tips that help me avoid ironing as much as possible. Partially because I work in a business casual workplace, where polos and khakis are the norm. I’m afraid that suit will still have to go to the cleaners.

I’m a very visual-spatial person, and anything that helps me visualize the task at hand is a godsend. So I had to share this with you. Scrolling on Dubs has a great way to help you prioritize your To-Do list.
Urgency and importance are completely independent of one another. Once you understand that, doing triage on […]
Two months ago, I would have told you that blogs were boring, longwinded, and narcissistic. Now, here I am writing my own. Why, you ask?
