The Aloha Quilt: A Book Review
July 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I’m a big fan of Jennifer Chiaverini and her Elm Creek Quilts series. I’ve been known to quilt here and there (but certainly not as much as I would like to) and the thing I like about it most is the community feel of the activity; it tends to be more fun to work on a quilt with other people especially if you are making a quilt by hand. Jennifer does an excellent job of showcasing the quilt craft as {Read More}
Viral Loop: A Book Review
July 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
If you’re like me and you’re into Internet Marketing, Social Media or anything related to that, I highly recommend the book Viral Loop by Adam Penenberg. There is a lot of buzz out there about things going “viral” and everyone wants a piece of the action. If you’re looking for a how-to book on creating Viral Campaigns, this is not the book you want. However, this book is full of fascinating case studies on how other items have gone viral. {Read More}

I know, I know, it’s been way too long since you’ve read one my brilliant beloved honest book reviews. And I apologize about that. I really do. The truth is, a better question to ask is what haven’t I been up to. It would probably take a lot less time to answer. I’ll tell you the most fun thing I’ve done though is go to Ireland. My life long dream was fulfilled when I landed on Irish soil a few weeks {Read More}

I’m a bit obsessed with addicted to involved on Facebook and I’ve had the opportunity to catch up with some old friends from high school along the way. Recently, I logged in and saw a note from an old friend of mine, Steven Kenworthy about some of his writings. I was blown away. Steven was always the creative type and he’s always had an insightful soul. So, while reading up on some of Steven’s writings I realized he’s published a {Read More}

Confessions of a Shopaholic: A Book Review
December 20, 2009 By 1 Comment
One my favorite guilty pleasures in life is a fiction book that is well written and endearing. Call it chick lit, call it pop culture, call it whatever you want. There’s nothing better during the cold months of the year than a book you love to curl up with. Throw in a book that throws around some British humor and I’m in heaven. I recently picked up Confessions of a Shopaholic (Amazon link) on a whim and as soon as {Read More}

There are a ton of social media books out there that try and tell you how to use online tools to get more business. But few of them talk about how {Read More}

I was sent This is Not How I Thought it Would Be: Remodeling Motherhood to Get the Lives We Want Today by Kristin Maschka. (Sidenote: I LOVE getting books in the mail. It’s just like Christmas!) I was actually in the middle of another book but picked this one up on a whim and read the first page. Every word was something that I could identify with. So I kept reading. And reading. And, well, you get the idea. Kristin {Read More}
