The Changing of Seasons...

Over the past few years I have wrote a few draft posts, I have posted and deleted within minutes, I have gone months without even remembering I even had a blog started.... and then over the last 2 weeks that I spent in Ireland I had time to breathe and think about what I really wanted out of life, and how I wanted to be able to share my experiences in life, and those of my amazing child - B.

Now that she is 4 (and a HALF) I have more time to do the things in life I enjoy, and not just pushing to get through each day while tending to her every whim.  I want to make sure that I am documenting the great things that we are experience as a family, and as individuals.  

This blog is going to continue to be a mash-up of all things Leslie.  The adventures, the mis-adventures, the shopping splurges, the amazing coupon deals, and all of the things that go on in my life, and those of my "Litter"  

My Litter has changed in the past few years.  In February 2014 our Precious B came into our life, and changed us all for the better.  Then just after her 2nd birthday we had to put our Sweet Milo Midnight to sleep.  He had used up all of his 9 lives and was looking for peace.  It was heart-breaking and we all still think of him daily, but we know that he is no longer in pain and with that comes some kind of comfort.

We have discussed adding a dog to the pack, but when we asked B if she would rather have a dog or be able to go on vacation whenever we wanted - she quickly replied - VACATION!  This girl is made for travel and adventure.

My Litter consists of the following, 



*Bailey - My Dear Husband, who has been dealing with my randomness for 15 years, and continues to be there for me each and every moment I need him.
*Sweet B - Our amazingly beautiful little girl, who is a little sweet and whole lot of Sassy.
*Miley Princess - A sweet Brown Striped Cat that is going on 10 years since we brought her home from the shelter and she is still playful and lovable, just at a slower pace these days
*Boo-Boo Bailey - The grouchy old long-haired cat we adopted from an old neighbor close to 8 years ago because he didn't like kids, but has now turned into a protector and playmate for B,

This is our family for now... but who is to say that another cat won't join in our family at any time.  I have quite the group of strays that travel through my yard, and that I have tried to lure into the house - against all better judgement.


Looking forward to connecting with everyone more, and would love feedback along the way!

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...
