Happy December! I was joking with someone today that the excitement for the holiday season is the only way that we (those of us north of Florida) make it through the early winter months.

My monthly wrap up posts are typically not hard to write, and yet they are the post where I am the most critical of myself. In essence, it is an evaluation of how well I managed to maintain balance in my life—by my own definition. How many items did I check off my bucket list?
One of the biggest shopping holidays is almost upon us. While some people choose to brave the crowds, I much rather take advantage of the cyber deals going on this week. I have had my eyes on a few things that I have been waiting to pull the trigger on until the sales reach their
