I hate feeling like I can’t live without being attached to a material item, but that’s exactly how I started feeling with my iPhone. I was constantly connected to it, checking emails all day, twitter updates flooding my phone and me in turn responding right away and in return “hanging out” for way too much…
A few weeks ago I asked my twitter followers and my Instagram followers what they wanted to know about me. Here are the questions that came my way! Q: How do you do it all and stay motivated and start so many businesses? –royaldeeA: Yikes. Loaded question. As you know in 2009 I opened my…
Am I the only one that has days where you have hundreds of hundreds of words that you want to write down? That keep rolling around in your head and it’s never at the opportune time or frankly, you can’t find the motivation to get up and write them down? I have so much on…
A couple weeks ago I received two free product coupons for Glade Expressions. One for the Oil Diffuser Starter Kit and one for the Fragrance Mist, so I swiftly went to redeem them. I love “smell good things” or as Ryan seems to call them “Stink Good” – thanks for that Tim “The Toolman” Taylor….
Recently this little starter kit arrived in my mailbox and I got to try out the Schick Hydro Silk. I recently got to try out a competitors razor based on another campaign I was one. So now I can be even more educated in my feedback about this razor. Wham. Are you excited yet? So…
You have seen me post about this before, I know. I did it last year but since I just made a fresh new batch because we just ran out, I thought that it was a fabulous time to post it again and give my recap on the last one and repost the DIY because I…
And here I sit gently rocking A in where she peacefully and sweetly sleeps soundly to the movement of the rocker and Ryan’s gentle, quiet hum of a snore, with a soft warm glow lighting up the room. The dogs nestled at the foot of the bed and my heart becomes still and full, that…
I have this thing about connecting with others. I love it. I really do, but when it’s on something I’m not already on like a separate website, etc. I never remember to go back or if I do I will go like once a month, it’s sad but true. I’m not sure how many of…
Really this post is for me, kind of like a “here it is, it’s OK to be ME in this space type pep-talk.”I had this realization lately that sometimes I don’t feel like I share the whole me in this space. Sometimes it’s because I don’t want to deal with the judgement, other times I…

For this months link-up I decided it would be fun to tell you a few things you probably didn’t know about Ryan and I. —- The first time Ryan came to visit me in Kansas, June of 2006, he rode on a Greyhound bus from Colorado to Kansas then back again.—- —- We had our…
How easy is it to get caught up in the number of followers you have, page views you get or comments you receive? Easy. Very easy. And sometimes once we are caught up in those things we start losing some passion, some momentum and our reason for blogging in the first place gets overshadowed. We’ve…

Last year I decided to get rid of paid sponsorships and just do swaps.Later in the year I decided that I didn’t feel like swaps were aligning with what I wanted for the blog, so I got rid of them too and I just simply decided to put blogs on my sidebar that I wanted…
