Inspirational Mom :: Rachel Davis of YOU@the Center
A few months back I was asked to participate in a 100-day course from the fantastic ladies over at Enlist Moms. What I didn’t know at the time was how much it was going to change my life. That is pretty profound, but oh, so true. When they asked me to join Rachel Davis YOU@theCenter course I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life – between work, my family life, husband changing jobs, new books coming out, I really didn’t think I could take on another task. But something inside told me to give it a try and see what I might learn from this rather unique and powerful…

I don’t really mind as I like to get my shopping done well in advance so I can (attempt) to sit back and just enjoy the holidays without as much stress. What about you? You getting ready for some family time?! I am happy to be working with PG&E on their energy-saving tips this holiday season.

The Mini Boden Fall Clothing Line is Perfect Anytime

We had a chance to try out some of Mini Boden’s Fall Clothing Line this past week with a photo shoot of my daughter and two of her best buddies who she has grown up with since she was 18 months old. They had a blast modeling for us and I love how Mini Boden clothes are great for anytime and for any event. They have a great selection of play clothes that will stand the test of time. Another bonus is if you have a couple children, they can be passed along and hand-me-downs won’t feel so much like hand-me-downs! That is one of…

Last month I wrote about what they offer and how to search their free website. I really like that they categorize the apps so it is really…
