This week was a whirlwind. Tuesday I left around 11am for the airport to head to Fort Meyers, Florida through Thursday with Chico’s. They were celebrating their 35th anniversary and invited a few of their favorite bloggers to join them. I was honored to be invited and had a blast. Trips like this really invigorate…
I think the hardest part of blogging is how solitary it is. I’m used to an office setting where I go to get a cup of coffee at the kitchen and bump into a coworker or two. If I’m stuck, I could bounce ideas off my boss or a teammate, and at any time get…
This was a short week for me as my family and I took a trip to the Big Apple from Friday until Tuesday afternoon. We had absolutely no plans and that was so wonderful. Each morning we ate a leisurely breakfast and thought about what we wanted to do, and we had perfect weather for…
Well, my skincare elimination diet worked, I have found the culprit for my allergic reaction and it’s a serum I have been using for two months. The rest of the products from the line are just fine, it’s just an ingredient in this serum. So glad to know so I can move forward! Last year,…

Emerson began a two-week day camp this week. This is her third year part of it and she looks forward to it every summer. They dance, they sing, they do art, go to the pool, learn songs and games and the last day do a performance for us parents. It is such a phenomenally-run camp,…
It was a bit quiet on the blog this week because I had the big web conference for my contracted work. I have a bit more next week but in general, it’s over and I can get back to being Blogger Allie. Well, not quite. I am writing two proposals to companies for a bit…
