Affordable Home Cleaning?
A new company called Homejoy has expanded into Dallas that offers home cleaning for ANY size home at a low rate of $20/hr. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical. In my experience, finding someone who is background checked, insured/bonded, and trained AND willing to clean my house costs quite a bit more! I was excited to try out the … [Read More...]
Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive May 11
As a former employee of the North Texas Food Bank, I can tell you that many people are merely a paycheck away from needing food assistance.

Life Journal Workshop – Why you should doodle more!
How does doodling help you? I have always been a doodler and can't seem to stop. My college notebooks were more full of doodles than notes. I still find myself doodling while on the telephone with clients, listening to a class or waiting in restaurants. My favorite restaurants are the ones with white butcher paper and crayons on the tables so that I can doodle to my heart's content. Of course, it's pretty fun for the kids, too! This red doodle was created while talking with my business partner. … [Read More...]
Life Journal Workshop: The Power of “I am” statements
Welcome to the Life Journal workshop, a weekly art and journaling project to get your creative juices flowing! I have to share today that I am so excited! In just a few hours, we will be appearing in juvenile court to support my brother and sister-in-law as they adopt a wonderful 3 year old boy that they have been fostering for the past 6 months. It's been a long and sometimes stressful process and took a lot of prayer and positive thinking to make it through all the hurdles. As I share today's … [Read More...]

Have you ever wanted to bring more color into your home but didn’t know how? As it turns out you should only use a few colors in each room.

I learned about Primary, Secondary, Complementary and Analogous colors. … [Read More...]

On Stray Animal Day, a dietitian goes to the dogs
Since today is Stray Animal Day, I thought it was only fitting to share this post. While my colleagues on this blog have written about the health benefits of pets many times, the goal of this particular post is the raise awareness of the importance of fostering in the hopes of finding them their forever homes. It’s somewhat long, but certainly a worthwhile read. (in my very biased opinion) Wally and his forever mom, Wendy Jo On many days, the highlight of my day is receiving a … [Read More...]
