Family heirlooms often make people think about jewelry or fine silver. However, the heirlooms that I treasure most from my grandmothers don't belong in either of those categories. In fact, neither of these heirlooms has any monetary value, but the emotional value for each is priceless.
From my maternal grandmother I have an etched glass sugar bowl and creamer. I used to store them in a cupboard to keep them safe. Then I realized that my grandmother would far rather that I use and enjoy them than let them sit on a shelf. I frequently use the creamer

Head Outdoors
All of the snow has melted outside my office windows, and this week's forecast includes temperatures near or over 60 every day. Weather such as this makes me feel more inclined to participate in outdoor activities, for although I enjoy a couple hours of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, I would rather be inside during most of the winter.
However, once the temperature is warm enough that I don't have to don a scarf, gloves, and heavy socks, I look forward to time outside. Whether it be a leisurely walk in my neighborhood, a hike in a state park,

March Highlights
March came in like a lion at the WMG East Coast office. After a winter with almost no snow, we were greeted by eight inches of snow on the first day of March. Apparently, Mother Nature wanted us to have snow in different months this year, as the last time we received this much snow was last October.
With snow-covered lawns for the first time in four months, it feels more like the middle of winter than nearly the start of spring. What better way is there to remind myself of the month it is than to highlight

Raising a Website
If you have read my bio, you know that my experience in the world of publishing only dates back to 2007. Starting by simply creating Tasty Thoughts, which has become Think Tasty, I have become fully immersed in the world of Internet-based publishing since then. Tasty Thoughts was built as my own, personal food website. When I launched it, I had no intention of it becoming the basis of a new media company. Regardless, here we are.

My Likes, Your Likes
I never have been a fan of NASCAR racing. This point was made quite clear thirteen years ago at my younger daughter's first birthday. With a February birthday, I chose the Sunday nearest to it for a family gathering in the afternoon. At some time during the event, my parents mentioned that it was a big day for my daughter and a big day in the world of racing. Apparently, I looked quite puzzled, and they informed me that it was the day of the big Daytona race.
I was familiar with the Daytona 500, but it could

Where Do You Find Your Inspiration?
Exercise is an integral part of my life. Six days a week, I start my day with either a strength training or cardio workout. If a workday has been hectic, I have been known to take a quick two-mile run on the treadmill to release the stresses of the day. I find that this physical activity is a great way to unwind and be a happier, more productive member of my family.
As someone who exercises regularly, I enjoy adding new exercises or entire routines. Not only does the same workout become boring, but it can be less
