May, the month we celebrate our beautiful moms. It’s the month when the days are longer, children from all over can see the last day of school on the horizon, and we take a step back and let our graduates shine. There is something so special about May. It is one of my most favorite months of the year. May…
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.

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. You might be wondering what an #HRMixTape2018 is? It’s exactly what it sounds like, a mix tape, except with a twist! The #HRMixTape2018 is about creating content that is #HR centric, yet connects to…

Oh, and on Sundays at the local grocery store, the team at the fish…
Last week was tough. The world witnessed a tragedy that has become all too familiar, another school shooting. A day that was supposed to be about love and peace, turned dark and cold for so many.

In my first blog post (click here), I hinted that this blog would involve food. In this post, we’ll get to know the Big Green Egg a little better. 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…
