The secret to de-stressing your holidays
You know how holidays are. The entire family coming together for fun and togetherness at predetermined times throughout the year. That’s the good part. The bad part is the pre-determined times thing. That means everyone across America is doing the same thing on the same day and that’s just not cool. You ever try to [...]
Full Story31 days to be all (the blogger) you can be
Why do I let myself get talked into these things? That might be putting it strongly. It’s just that for years I’ve been seeing the 30 day challenge this and increase your traffic that and it just never seems like something I want to do. I mean, TV doesn’t watch itself, am I right? I [...]
