Skiing, Pizza Slicing, and Busyness

March 25, 2013 by Amelia

I used to believe in adventure and trying new things. Then I went skiing a couple weeks ago. I still have a big bruise on my left knee and dents on my right shin from the ski boot. I’d like to make a public apology to the parents and young children on the bunny hill […]

Meeting a hero and a give away!

June 25, 2012 by Amelia

*Be sure to enter the give away at the bottom of this post! I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and ran a hand down the front of my blouse, checking for wrinkles. “Be professional, and don’t act like a schoolgirl,” I chanted to myself as I walked to the front of the […]
