The past few weeks at work have been unusually full! My normal routine and workload was supplemented with dozens of extra tasks for a few out of the ordinary events that were taking place. These events also required some evening meetings and gatherings, a few late nights at the office in order to get everything done and a few work-from-home nights in order to feel fully prepared for the next day. All of these extra hours and late-night prep sessions meant there were some accommodations ... View Post
Be A Light for Others (And Yourself)
These past few weeks (and what seems like months), Central Nebraska has been incredibly dreary and hazy and COLD.

5 Tips to Eliminate Distractions at Work
Distractions are EVERYWHERE! At work, at home, in our car. It's incredible how often they pop up and how derailing they can be (if you let them).

9 Dinner Ideas that Make Great Leftovers
I'm all about efficiency, especially in the kitchen. That's why I love dinner ideas that make great leftovers I can take to work with me the next day. Cook once, eat twice (and sometimes three times)! Not only does eating leftovers for lunch save me time when it comes to deciding what to pack for my lunch, it also saves money in that uneaten portions of last night's dinner don't go to waste AND I'm not spending money each work day going through the drive-thru or dining out.
