I love our coffee table. It’s been in my husband’s family for a long time—not really an heirloom as much as a reliable, good-looking piece of furniture. But it’s not our coffee table anymore. Right now, it lives in the guest room, out of the way of human and furry…
I was going to write a post today, but then Vu over at Nonprofit with Balls did it for me in this hilarious post: Alarmists, disruptors, weasels, and 9 other annoying types of people in nonprofit Enjoy.
Let me clear something up right away: this post is not about wine (sorry). I’m a sucker for nice packaging, pretty displays, and intuitive merchandising. Aesthetics help to make the shopping experience and the products themselves enjoyable for me, so why should my home be any different? When I bring…

January’s winding down (already?!) and New Year’s resolutions are starting to fizzle. As it turns out, I don’t typically make them, but I recently learned about reverse resolutions and think they’re a great alternative. Reverse resolutions are commitments to continue doing the things you successfully did last year, setting yourself up…

When I was an orientation leader in college (NERD ALERT!) it was drilled into us that “early is on time; on time is late; and late is unacceptable.” It seemed cruel–especially when we had to report for duty at some ungodly hour (on weekends. in the SUMMER.)–but it also made complete…
