Once a week I drive Emelie, my oldest daughter, to her dual-credit course an hour from our home. On this day my other two children opt to stay at their grandparents’ home giving me two solid hours to work. Working as a freelancer while homeschooling three children has taught me the importance of time management, [...]
As a web designer I have long enjoyed the genius behind the crew at A List Apart. Their passion for standards-based web design is the foundation for An Event Apart (AEA), the two-day conferences that take place all over the United States. As they so clearly state, “If you care about code as well as [...]
If you have a sweet tooth and/or a love for cake decorating you will really enjoy the redesign of Melissa Diamond’s My Cake School.

When I met Karen Fine (aka “Mom Cooks Gluten Free”) of FineCooks.com I knew very little about Gluten Free living.

This week I’ve launched one design job, worked a conversion quote for another, talked logistics for an upcoming online project and moved into a final design mockup. It has been a busy week. Oh, how I love the “job security” of a busy week. Of course, with so many design elements on my plate, you’d [...]
While many people complain when Monday comes around the corner, likening it to a not-so-appropriate four-letter word, I like Mondays. Sunday is the perfect start to each new week.
