New Year’s Eve is fast approaching for those of us who use the Gregorian Calendar and here I sit for the 29th year in a row, pen in hand, writing down my annual goals. I’m thinking, “Bring it in 2017!” Shocked? I sure was when asked by a friend how long I had been writing […]
This past weekend I attended a life-transforming event in Louisiana. It was a weekend spent with the Broke Wives Club. They had amazing men and women at this conference from all over North America (Thank you Canadians for putting up with us!) The topics covered were all about your Holistic Health.

I was contacted by a very nice saleswoman, Martha, who asked if I was willing to participate in this product launch since I was a “frugal” mom […]
This week I read two things that so inspired me, I just had to share them with you. The first one was a quote that I saw from Helen Keller. “I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and […]
Last night I played hooky from putting kids to bed (Thank you, spouse!) to participate in a fun event with just “the girls.” I was asked by Laura Nickerson, BroadTopicsRadio host, to join her and three of her buddies to chat about money.
