Cue Ross, "We were on a breaaaaaaaak." Crazy story: three months from today exactly (Christmas Day! Who starts a blog on Christmas Day?!) I will have been doing this for ten years. That's all of my twenties. That's really my entire adult life. It's hard for me to remember a time before blogging or even…

Two years ago this fall I got it in my head that it would be fun to take everything I have learned about running an online shop and write it down in ebook form. I didn’t want to do it alone though and immediately thought about teaming up with Maggie Whitley as a co-author. At…

so many similar mugs. I wanted to share three things today that are making my work life better. (Besides coffee, obviously.) A monthly one hour chat | for the past three months, Tiffany Han and I have been meeting over a video skype call for an hour and talking about what’s going on in our…

Hooray! Pre-order for the January – December 2016 version of the GET TO WORK BOOK™ is open. The book features the same simple content designed to organize, not compete with, your great ideas.

I spent last weekend up in Portland for another World Domination Summit. I was there to take a bit of a break and recharge and listen to other people tell their stories. It was inspirational on many levels and I left not ready to “take over the world” but instead to “do better tending to…

I am so excited to head up to Portland today for WDS. Last summer Paul came along but sadly it didn't work out this time so it's just me adventuring out. Sort of like a business trip. Actually, exactly like a business trip. I get to travel "for work" a few times a year. Sometimes…

Last June I wrote a post about how I use Instagram to promote my online business (blog, shop and podcast). Since then, A LOT has changed except for the fact that IG is still my very favorite social media platform (and the only one I use with any real consistency). So, I figured an update…

I shared a peek at my new(ish) office whiteboard in a photo on Instagram this week and wanted to provide some details here. I’ve been wanting a big board for my office since we’ve been writing on Ellerie’s easel. There’s something special about whiteboards! They take pen so easily! They erase so cleanly! I was…
