It seems like there’s an inverse relationship between things happening in life outside my computer screen and things happening on the blog. With the holidays rapidly approaching, there’s a stillness developing over here. I’ve had a lot of content ideas lately but I find myself wanting to save them for January. This will likely be the last normal post on here for 2014, though you may see me back for a yearly recap, because I do like those.

This weekend is all about everything Christmas. Christmas cards, Christmas shopping, baking… you know the drill. And since it’s that time of year (and I can’t say it enough): I really appreciate you guys. Thanks for stopping by here every once in a while. What are you up to this weekend?

Great ideas for refreshing your biz for the new year.

My college homecoming is this weekend! Our plans are a little up in the air because Brian seems to have come down with the same illness that I had right after my trip to Cincinnati, but hopefully things will work out for a weekend of friends, fun, and food. What are you up to this weekend?

Right now I’m out of town with my mom and grandmother visiting relatives in the Cincinnati area. My grandmother grew up here and my mom was born here, but this is my first time here! It feels good to get away for a little bit. What are you up to this weekend?
