This is where I share my thoughts, ruminations, and musings on technology, media, life, motherhood, and everything in between. It’s a little bit chaotic, but that’s because real life isn’t neat, tidy, or social media perfect.

Three words for 2015

Three words for 2015

As I turn the page in my brand new Day Designer (yes, I still use a physical daily planner), I’m excited for the possibilities that a new year holds. There are so many opportunities in front of me this year, and I’m eagerly anticipating how everything plays out. For the first time this year, though, I’ve decided to enter a new year by choosing three words to focus on. This is a concept that ...

Friday Fun: ‘All About the Books’

Just a quick post this morning because I simply can't resist sharing this. My colleague Todd O'Neill found this video last night and showed it to me after the MTSU Social Media Club meeting.

It’s been a crazy couple of days, what with all the cleaning and baking and preparing for a houseful of guests. A little more than 24 hours from now, the house will be full of family, ready to ...
