Wow! How did we get to the end of April so fast? And how is it that I haven’t blogged all month? I’d like to share what I call the “Top 10 Reasons for No Blogging in April”. 10. Camp Hoff opened for the season. 9. Attended a WIT (Women in Technology) Networking event on “Promoting Your …
As National Women’s History Month nears to a close, I want to know, who are the women that inspire you? God really loved me something special. Because for all of life’s ups and downs, for the days when I doubted myself, and for those times when I thought I lost my way… He gave me my mom and my sister.…
Since launching my blog early last month, I’m taking on my very first blog challenge! Mark Hendy, a fellow HR guru/blogger, is the creator of something called, #HRMixTape2018.

But first, let me introduce you to my husband, Travis (aka BBQ Ninja). He does all of the grilling around here, and together, we come up with the menu. What is this…
Forty-Three. That’s how many years my ahh-mazing parent’s have been married. Their love story is proof that true love does exist. Two. My sweet friend’s baby girl turned two today. Yes, a birthday is an anniversary in my book. Because each year, we celebrate the day we were born. So why do anniversaries matter? They are a milestone of significant…
