i frequently ask my past brides/grooms for feedback on my “performance.” call it being a perfectionist, call it having low self-confidence, call it narcissistic. a pat on the back or a kick in the pants yields equal influence for me. i built my business on excellent customer service, so when i asked a past bride [...]

boy, do i have a website for you. i like to think i’m pretty well versed in “internet,” but i just discovered the healthy recipe powerhouse blog that is skinnytaste a couple weeks ago. since then i’ve made the slow cooked cuban pork (holy yum), chicken nuggets (one never grows too old for chicken nuggets, [...]
