No job is perfect. We've all had rotten days where nothing goes right and the end of the day can't come fast enough. But when does it go from a bad day or week to being considered toxic? Here's what can happen: Communication is key to the success of an organization. If this is poor, … Continue reading Is Your Workplace Toxic?
After TikTok, Instagram is my favorite social media platform. I'm always interested to see what the Instagram algorithm will give me in between the stories of people or companies I already follow. I tend to get jewelry and accessories, and a few weeks ago I got the story of a brand called Artify Nails. I … Continue reading Instagram Swipe Up: Artify Nails
My twin daughters turned 5 last November, and in researching options for what kind of activity to enroll them in, we decided on martial arts.

I'll apologize in advance, because this topic is neither exciting nor happy . . . but it is an important one. I worked in life insurance for several years, and from this have a general understanding of a trust. It wasn't until this time last year that I had dived into one head-first, as an … Continue reading Why You Need a Trust
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! It was definitely strange not doing the normal holiday routine, which for us is a big Christmas Eve dinner (seven fishes, Italian-style) with my husband's family, followed by my side of the family on Christmas Day.
