Breakfast at Tiffany's



My favorite catalog came in my mailbox yesterday...Tiffany & Co.
The Tiffany Blue Envelope, the simple layouts, the new designs...Everything traditional, beautiful, and timeless, as always expected.




My love for Tiffany & Co. started years ago when my husband surprised me with a trip to Chicago for our first anniversary of dating.  I was asleep in the car thinking we were driving home from a friend's house so he could go to work, and instead I woke up to the Chicago Skyline!  We walked around window shopping, drank Starbucks, and talked about our futures, and Breakfast at Tiffany's (my favorite classic). 







As we started to walk back towards the car he took me into Tiffany & Co.  We looked around, I showed him the set that I had wanted for months, and when we spoke to a clerk we made the same jokes they do in the movie, and I'm sure it was the first time she heard them. ;)  We ended up finding a beautiful necklace, ring, and earrings set that we both agreed was gorgeous, but timeless.  We were told that the intertwining hearts stood for infinite, unbreakable love...a beautiful thought for a young couple on their "dating anniversary".  Before I knew it I had the necklace around my neck, and we were walking out the door, hand in hand... Eight years later we are still on the mailing list, and I love dreaming of what I would love to own, but we are determined that if we are going to fulfill our financial goals and retire early then Tiffany & Co. is just dream...for now.

Giving Thanks, Day 13

Today I am thankful for trade shows and all of the fun stuff that vendors hand out to everyone for free! We had a trade show today for 55 companies in the area.  It was amazing all of the things that were handed out; movie passes, note pads, pens, hand sanitizer, etc.  The things that you can always use, but usually don't want to pay for. My favorite is always note pads.  I love all the different shapes and sizes, and it helps to give me the motivation to start new lists and gives me the goal to work all the way through the stack of paper, before getting bored or moving on to a new idea or set of projects. What kinds of things do you like to get for free?!

Learning about Catering, and Myself!

Last week I was in Las Vegas, attending CaterSource Catering Convention. I learned so many things about myself, my work, and the people that I am surrounded by.  Some good and some bad, but all have helped me to realize more of what I want for my life. Over the last year I have realized how important it is to take the time to make these realizations.  I need to know the my strengths so I can keep them going.  I need to know my weaknesses so that I can work them.  I also need to know my goals.  Even if they are ever-changing goals, I still need to know them.  If I am walking through my days just hoping for the best then I never know if I get anywhere. I have realized that as much as I used to love doing surveys that I have now found them to tedious.  I would much rather be part of focus groups and interviews.  Not only do they make more money for my time investment, but they also do not take constant attention, whether it be daily or weekly.

8 Weeks Later....

I just realized that I fell off the face of the blog world 8 weeks ago!   I was finally starting to get back on track with organizing, cleaning, and work when I just forgot how to manage my time! Over the last weeks I have made so many memories, enjoyed so much time with family and friends, and traveled to Denver, Cub Lake, Cedar Point, and back home again!  I have celebrated my 4th Wedding Anniversary to the man of my dreams as well as my grandma's 80th Birthday!  I have welcomed a great nephew (Jerry) , an amazing 2nd cousin (Brock), and a beautiful little friend (Sirena) into the world!  And last, but not least, I have decided that I am perfectly at peace with my life, no matter what comes my way. Now that July is finally behind us and August is starting anew, so are my new hopes, dreams, and goals!  I will share them as they become closer to reality, and I have a plan of action on how to handle everything. For this month I am hoping to stop in at leas...
