Building Brands: What’s your New Year’s Business Resolution?

Sunday, Jan. 19 is a date to keep in mind if you plan to make a New Year’s Resolution this year. That’s because research has shown that only 18 days after they’ve set their intention for a new year, the majority of people ditch their New Year’s Resolution by Jan. 19. One fitness app has […]

Wendi’s Word: Holiday chaos and the Scholastic Book Fair

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays celebrating old traditions and creating new traditions. Our tradition is having Papa Price and Grammi Reardon over for breakfast on Christmas morning. Then, unwrapping presents (that were probably just wrapped the night before, if I am going to be honest.) The boys play while the adults […]

This holiday season be sure to wrap up each interaction with a bow

The other night my husband and I tried a new restaurant for dinner. The entire experience was great.

It’s hard to believe here we are at the end of October already, and the last two months of the year are a hop and a skip away. Another month has passed and it can be summed up in field trips and no illnesses. Okay, so Oliver did have a runny nose and his first […]

Shelby says: Shop local in your community

Since I’m a self-published author, I love attending these types of events as a vendor. One of my favorite things about the […]

Telling stories, ours and yours, to make a difference

Last week at a local service club meeting, where I spoke about the importance of community newspapers, I had the pleasure of dining with members before the business portion of the meeting.
