Lessons I've Learned

My New Office

March 8, 2020 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

Last week I finished reading the book The One Thing, written by Gary Keller (cofounder of Keller Williams Realty) and Jay Papasan.

One Way I Save Time And Money Each Year

For the past few years, I thought I had it figured out. But I didn’t. Not even close. And it wasn’t until today that I had a major wake up call. Actually, that’s not true. The wake up call started about two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I lost it on my kids. Like massively […]
