It’s September. Let’s turn mom mode on! The kids are back to school. Autumn is in the air, and the craving of routine is fierce in my household – at least for this working Momma. Over the last year or so probably, I’ve developed a frequently used weekly prep routine that makes my life better/easier/less […]
Several weeks ago my husband sent me links to several popular house and yard television shows that feature buying homes abroad, or moving to islands, or internationally hunting houses. Let’s pause.

I always thought that I would live out my career in a large organization, nonprofit ideally, healthcare likely with good benefits, a steady income and certainty on my side. See, James is the artistic one in our partnership. He’s the all-natural entrepreneur and creative asset to many. He
Some may consider it a crazy idea. Others may think it brave. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I have this idea and the three people that I have to convince that it is a good one, are my immediate family; the love of my life James, and our two beautiful daughters, Jordan and
