I’m trying to stay ahead of the game this week! There’s nothing more relaxing than personal travel. Once you get behind, it’s really hard to catch up. I listened to a few of my flute recordings tonight. It’s a little sad how much talent has faded since then. It’s also sad that I can’t enjoy…
Last weekend got away from me. I flew to Portland Sunday and couldn’t find time to blog until this morning so this is a 1.5 weekly update. Travel so rewarding. I got to see two friends on this trip in addition to my amazing colleagues. Life is good. Some things can’t be explained. I just…
So it’s 9pm on Tuesday night. I just took my “lunchtime” shower because I didn’t get a lunch break today and I still have more work to finish. Dinner might not happen tonight because I’m too exhausted to make anything. I realized this morning that I completely forgot to write my blog post over the…

I’m in ATL this week! I spoke on a social media panel yesterday for the Atlanta CVB and have meetings the rest of the week. It’s amazing how much less time you have when travel is involved, right? I got up early <gasp> to try to catch up on work and woke up to this…

If you’re thinking about managing a Pinterest contest, check out Holly Maust’s Pinterest Contest board. It’s full of great and not-so-great examples.
I just saw a pin for the GUND Most Pinteresting Dog Contest. Who doesn’t love GUND? As a little girl, I slept with my Muttsy dog every night so, of course, I was so excited to see this contest. And then I took a closer look…
This contest JUST started today so I’m hoping things are still being worked out. Here are the points that I love about it:
