I just love this park. It is located off of Main Street, near downtown Kennesaw. I started going there when I lived in Kennesaw about 10 years ago. It has a 1+ mile paved track that goes around a little something for everyone. Two playgrounds, one for the littles, one for the bigs. Woodchips have … Continue reading Swift Cantrell Park, Kennesaw, Georgia

The husband had an out of town trip, my son got sick, then I got sick, and work got a bit crazy. I digress. This is a blog about making soap! … Continue reading Soap making… that’s it?
The Crafting Room 2.0 – Not a WorkBox
Over a year and a half ago, I decided to turn my guest room that was hardly ever used into a crafting/hobby room. We had started a project to add a roof on our porch and the original contractor left before it was finished. So, we were stuck with an unfinished roof on the deck. … Continue reading The Crafting Room 2.0 – Not a WorkBox
Closing the Gap: Education & Industry
I was approached by a professor on LinkedIn one night. She asked me if I would be interested in giving a presentation to her mobile development class at Georgia State University.
