As I sit here, pondering what to write about in this week’s post, I kept coming back to one word…creativity.  Everyone knows what the word means, but as we enter into adulthood and into the workforce, whether that be outside the home or inside the home, we seem to lose that side of us.  I [...]

My Dear Spouse- I am not a superwoman, contrary to popular belief; but I do play one on the internet.  I do have my moments of complete and utter control over everything that comes across my desk and everyone that crosses my path during the course of my day.  Those are the days that I [...]

Another long holiday weekend is upon us-Independence Day.  For most, it means a chance to get out of town and spend some quality time with family and friends.  For others, it’s a time of remembrance and celebration.  For me, it has always been a chance to let loose and spend some well-deserved time with family [...]

A few months back I came across an article written by Sarah Stebbins for “O” magazine, called “The 10 Habits of Highly Organized People.”  Now, I’m not normally an “O” magazine reader, but my mom is and she’ll mention articles of interest to me every so often.  As a matter of fact, I’m astonished she [...]

Second, I want to apologize to our loyal readers here at Work at Home for Life, for not getting my posts [...]
