When I put out a request for people to submit small businesses for a gift guide, I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away by how quickly the form filled up… and then going through everyone’s websites I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of items. I am so proud of everyone,…

Adulting Gifts
I know this seems like such a boring gift guide… but I know a lot of you are in the same boat that I am. My sister, who turns 27 (how?!?!) next month, and I were just talking about how we’re officially old because our idea of perfect gifts are useful things like vacuum cleaners….
CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR HER
Between Mike’s family and mine, I have a lot of special women on my list that I’m shopping for this season. Finding the perfect gift can be quite a hunt, so I wanted to create a carefully curated guide to take away some of the heavy lifting when it comes to holiday shopping this year….
SHOP THE GUIDE
Inbox Zero
I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…

Gift Guide: For You
It’s the first gift guide of the season. And I’m starting with you. Who better to kick off the gift guide than with gifts for yourself. Surprisingly, this is my most requested post year after year. You can use it to put together your own wishlist or send along to a significant other/aunt/mom/whomever. Or spoil yourself!
TEACHER GIFT IDEAS 2023
So much of school was stressful for me, due in part to the pressure I put on myself (“pressure” is an understatement, ha), but I loved learning. I still remember the teachers who encouraged my curiosity and creativity! It meant so much to me. With in-laws who work in education and a son in daycare,…
