May 14, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 13 Comments

Cleaning Supplies

May 10, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 22 Comments

This post was first published on July 11, 2007. At that time, I was still working full-time outside the home and struggling to find some work-life balance. Though I know I can still improve areas of my work-home life, I’ve come a long way. *Note: Slight edits have been made to the original post. What […]

Do You Work Weekends or Unplug?

March 22, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 11 Comments

I spent most of my time offline this weekend. I did check in on email and some social media accounts periodically, but didn’t really do too much. I think I tweeted once during the last two days and answered a total of two emails. And no actual “work” was completed – no blog post drafts, […]
