30 Inspiring Quotes from Type-A Parent Conference 2013

Wednesday, October 2, 2013 by Lolli 17 Comments

It’s hard to sum up the awesomeness that was my 3rd Type-A Parent Conference this past weekend. The keynotes, the sessions and the hands-on workshops were inspiring, educational, and uplifting. And, as usual, I’ve got a list of dozens of things that I want to change and do better. Type-A Parent Conference is the…

Type-A Parent Conference Atlanta 2013 #WW

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 by Lolli 4 Comments

I’ve only begun to recover from my weekend trip to Atlanta and the Type-A Parent Conference. I’m still searching through pictures, unpacking my bags, and trying to catch up on some of that lost sleep… I have hundreds of pictures from the conference, along with quotes and notes to share, but for today I…

Let #TypeACon Begin! {#PSF – Give Me Your Best Shot}

Thursday, September 26, 2013 by Lolli 3 Comments

After a super-early morning flight from Baltimore to Atlanta, I arrived at the #TypeACon conference hotel. I got here in one piece, but boy am I feeling my lack of sleep. I ran into one of my favorite people on my way out to grab some dinner. Jennifer and I have worked together for…

How to Enhance Photos Using Fonts: A PicMonkey Tutorial

Sunday, July 21, 2013 by Lolli 15 Comments

A few years ago a fellow photographer called me out for not including photos in my older recipe posts. Yep. Me. A professed lover of photography (I never claim to be great at it!) would write posts – recipe posts, even – and not include pictures. Back in the early days of blogging –…

Just Write {2}

Monday, June 10, 2013 by Lolli 2 Comments

Following the example of a friend of mine, I am once again participating in an exercise in free writing. Now you know exactly what’s on my mind this week… On house guests and work: As of Saturday afternoon, my husband and kids and I are the only people sleeping at my house. I’ve had…

Just Write

Tuesday, May 28, 2013 by Lolli 1 Comment

I was on twitter this morning, after completing a hand-out for a class I’m teaching tomorrow night for the youth at church. I happened to peek at my stream just after my wonderfully inspiring friend, Heather tweeted “@HeatheroftheEO: It’s your computer and you can free write if you want to – #JustWrite https://ow.ly/lsPyZ.” Not knowing…

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 by Lolli 5 Comments

Spring is in the air and I’ve been busy this month, writing like crazy (yes, I have a life beyond this little blog!). Since I had so many articles published on other sites in April, I thought I’d post a short recap of each of my posts. PS – every time I get a new…

We Are Not Powerless… {In Honor of Susan Niebur}

Wednesday, February 6, 2013 by Lolli 5 Comments

Susan was a rocket scientist. I loved being able to say that I was friends with a rocket scientist (ok, technically an astrophysicist), as if some of her brilliance might rub off on me. Susan was a mother. A wife. A blogger. A friend. One year ago today, on February 6, 2012, those of us…

How to Plan a Month’s Worth of Blog Content…and Beyond #ContentBrew

Monday, January 21, 2013 by Lolli 15 Comments

When I started blogging 5 1/2 years ago, there was no prior thought to what I would post each week. If I took the kids berry picking, I posted that. If I had some good news to share, I posted that. Then things changed. My kids got bigger and went off to school all day….

2012 Year in Review #Linkup

Monday, December 31, 2012 by Lolli 4 Comments

One of the greatest things about writing so frequently on my blog is that I can look back on the year and reminisce about all of the best moments. 2012 was full of travel (something I love!), great opportunities, and tremendous growth from my kids. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store….
