Professional to Scholastic, Kristy Loves Her Basketball!

101-82423Basketball season is just about over.  I can honestly say it is my favorite sport! From our famous Cleveland Cavaliers to my children playing in our local school district, I get so much joy watching it.

Last week, I went to watch our Cleveland Cavs play the Denver Nuggets.  They ended up losing in overtime – after a 13 game winning streak.  They didn’t go down without a fight; it was a great game.  We had so much fun!  Thank you, Cindy!

Living Room Bowling Tournament!

IMG_2084Hello, and Happy Friday!

Can you believe it’s going to be MARCH next Monday?! Seriously guys, this year is just flying by! My nephew is about to be 2 whole weeks old! It blows my mind.

If you know anything about my family, it’s that we are very close and that we love games. I don’t know if there is any month during the year that the whole gang doesn’t get together, and it’s so awesome. I wouldn’t trade it for a thing in the world!

Birthday Blizzard!

Today the sun is shining. That is a good thing because the snow has been falling a lot in Ohio.

February has always been a snowy time in Ohio. When I was three, my mom and dad had a birthday party for me that my relatives almost got snowed in at our house. My mom always said we had a blizzard on my birthday.

A Different Kind of Blog…

A little while ago, I came across a fascinating blog post.  The author briefly discussed a trend (back-in-the-day) among writers/authors to sum up their lives, or in other words, to write their memoir, using only six words.
Here are a few examples she cited, or I came across:

“For Sale: baby shoes, never worn”
-Ernest Hemingway

Green Is the New Black

go-paperless_3There are a lot of new buzz words floating around these days, both in industry and the private sector. Moving speedily to the top of the list is “green.”

In business, in particular, green used to mean one thing: the almighty dollar. Today, though, green has become something very different, and yet not. These days, operating in the green is quickly becoming every bit as important as operating in the black. However, many businesses are facing the challenge of accomplishing both of these goals at once when, under certain conditions, these two ends seem mutually exclusive.

So, how does a business succeed economically and environmentally?

About halfway home, my brother called me and told me that he was at the hospital with his wife, and that she was in labor!!Of course, we had to turn around to go pick up my mom.
