So dear readers, can you hazard a guess as to what my dear husband, aka geek Ken, is doing? Note the turquoise wrist strap. What the heck is that for? Stay tuned. . . All will be revealed next week.

How many times have you uttered the phrase, “if only . . .” When I was working, I would say, “if only I had more time so that I could exercise more and eat healthier.” Now that I’m caring for my Mom and doing volunteer work, I say, “if only I had more work to […]

Yes I am (cheap) frugal, but I broke down and got a LLBean Visa card. With this card, I get free shipping both ways, plus I earn points for LL Bean stuff. Who needs free airline miles when you can get free LL Bean stuff? Recently LLBean offered 15% off all purchases, plus I had […]

I’m not one for cleaning. Sure, I like things neat, but I’d much rather be kayaking or meditating or doing anything other than cleaning. I even try to trick myself by saying that cleaning burns calories, so it’s good. My dear Mom is a very traditional person. She believes in a thorough Spring and Fall […]

The Internet allows us to do everything faster, which can be a good and a bad thing. I’m honored to be part of Amazon.com’s Vine, which is a program for top reviewers to write about new books and products. I get lots of cool, free stuff and all I have to do is write a […]

Although I like things neat, I’m not a clean freak, like my dear husband, who I affectionately call, “Mr. Ajax.”  I remember when we were dating, I invited him over to my apartment for dinner.  At the time, I had a long commute, on top of working 70 hours a week at a demanding job. […]

To be a better person or a better company, look to some of the best and brightest to see how they do it. Hubspot is a successful marketing company, based in Cambridge, MA.

There was so much content at the Hubspot Inbound Marketing Conference, it was really hard deciding which sessions to attend. It was also a fun challenge to figure out how to summarize what I’ve learned. I probably could write a year’s worth of blog posts on what I learned! So the second theme of the […]

I had a blast at the recent Hubspot Inbound Marketing Conference. It was held August 19-22 at the Hynes Convention Center in the Back Bay area of Boston. I love, love, love going into the city. I also love learning new things and hearing what is new in marketing. You may be asking, “what the […]
