My 5 favorite free blogging tools

      7 Comments on My 5 favorite free blogging tools

The other day I realized I’ve been doing this blogging thing for almost 10 years. Sadly, it’s only over the past few years that I’ve found some tools that have helped take my blog to the next level. Ok, some (most) of these tools weren’t around 10 years ago and I was in it more for the writing.  I had… Read more »

Wedding technology: websites, social media & more!

Oh how times have changed…When I was out in the dating pool, most of my friends and family couldn’t comprehend the influence technology had on my love life.  Now that I’m preparing for my wedding, I am overwhelmed with the amount of technology available.

People of the Minneapolis Skyway

      No Comments on People of the Minneapolis Skyway

It’s a well known fact that I don’t like to cook.  Well, mostly, I’m afraid of cooking.  I have this fear of time management.  When do I start the side dish?  How long will the meat take?  You get the drift. So, now that I have someone for whom to cook, I’m attempting to expand my culinary horizons…albeit a bit… Read more »

This is not a diet (ce n’est pas un régime)

Diets don’t work for me. Well, they do for like 5 minutes, but that’s not going to help me with what’s really wrong. What’s really wrong? I am not thinking about what I’m eating. I know how to eat healthy, sometimes (most of the time) I just don’t think about it or want to… OK, that’s not true. I do… Read more »
