How to set goals for 2012 2012. Wow. I am still stunned. How did time pass by so quickly? I was in high school just a year ago. I was waiting to hear back from universities and scholarships. I was trying to finish off high school on a strong note.

When shoping for poptarts are traumatic! - A daughter leaves for college It has been less than a month since the last time I held my daughter’s little face in my hands, but not a day has gone by that I do not think of her and exactly how she looked before she went away to college.

Avoiding Burnout I hope this blog finds all of you well. I know it finds me…sleepy. It is nearing the end of week 2 of my school/internship/work schedule. Currently, my eyes are pink from lack of sleep and I have a to-do list the size of my little sister’s Christmas wish list.
