Ahh so this is another first for the MHD blog…I am blogging from 30,000 feet. Okay don’t fact check that because I missed it when the pilot announced how high we really were because I had my headphones on trying to capitalize on the free in-flight entertainment. Oh btw I am on my way to […]

One year ago, this little pup became part of our family. I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that it has only been a year, because I can’t imagine life without him. On New Year’s Eve, we made the trip down to Waterloo to “just look” at some dogs. Little did we know […]

Mapping out my calendar for 2018 has me all sorts of excited! Launching this spokesmodel program is only the beginning of the long list of growth I am planning for the new year and that got me thinking of what goals I want to strive for in 2018. And after a lot of back and […]

Blessed. This past week, heck this entire year, has been such an overwhelming yet exciting rollercoaster and I can barely put into words how grateful I am for all of it. When I think back on this time last year, It’s hard to believe how much has truly changed. Last August, I was probably the […]

Sometimes when focusing on all the little details can be stressful, you just need to take a step back and look at the big picture. To be honest, I have been stressing over all the little details for a long time. I missed a blog post last week. I have been getting behind on my […]

When I woke up this morning it was just like any other day. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair, ate my breakfast, packed my lunch, played with Gunner and left the house at 6:21 for work. But when I parked my car, Facebook reminded me that today is a pretty special day. Today is May […]

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of attending my soon to be cousin’s bridal shower. It was full of amazing food, lots of laughter and of course a few bridal shower games. We all introduced ourselves and were asked to say our favorite bridal shower memory. At the time, I didn’t have much […]
