“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When the…

Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny.

I came back to 1,000 emails on Monday. That is in no way an exaggeration. But it was worth it to have a relaxing vacation with my family. While I was home, we celbrated Brooks’ first birthday, which was actually yesterday. Though we’ve facetimed, it was my first time seeing him in person since Thanksgiving…
