Confessions of a Former “Busy” Working Mom

February 9, 2019

I'm a former "busy" working mom. I no longer like to use the "B" word. To me, it has a high-strung, worn-out, over-committed, negative connotation to it and I have no desire to feel any of those things. I haven't always felt this way about being "busy" though. CONFESSION #1: I used to take pride in being "busy." Once upon a time, I thrived on being "busy." Without even realizing it, I was equating my value as a wife, daughter, friend, employee and ...

5 Tips to Eliminate Distractions at Work

January 28, 2019

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). I know when I have dozens of things on my "to do" list, that's when I'm most susceptible to distractions because often times I don't know where to start, so I start with the easy, little things like responding to emails and other messages or I find myself searching for a new podcast or audio book to listen to. This article from A Life of ... View Post

9 Dinner Ideas that Make Great Leftovers

January 17, 2019

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. These ... View Post

Books Worth Reading ☆ December 2018

December 31, 2018

My list of recent reads has had somewhat of a business and entrepreneurial theme which seems timely considering the recent transition of this site from Fireworks & Leftovers to Firework Philosophy, which was something I just felt led to do. I have all sorts of ideas for my little corner of the internet so I guess it makes sense that I've been gravitating towards books that are about brands, business and making things happen. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a ... View Post

French Onion Cheese Ball

December 29, 2018

One thing my Dad always requests around the holidays is a cheese ball. Super fancy and exciting, I know. But I understand where he's coming from. I'm not sure what it is about them because they're the simplest thing but they certainly jazz up a holiday or pot luck spread. Maybe it's the variety of flavor options. Maybe it's the fact that you can pair it with a variety of crackers and dippers. I know...maybe it's because it's a big ball of cheese supercharged with a ton of extra ... View Post

What Is Story Sharing?

December 28, 2018

It's been a little over a year since I've started this site. It originated as Fireworks & Leftovers - Vibrant Perspectives on Everyday Life & Leftovers. It was a creative outlet for me to share my positive perspectives about life and love for food with my friends and family and anyone who would happen to stumble into my little hub on the internet.  But as I continued to grow and write and embrace new relationships and experiences, I began to feel like there was something more, ...
