Delicious Reads Asks: What's Your Personality Type??

Do you know your personality type? Do you know how it affects your relationships? How about in your day to day home life or work situation? Until recently, it had been years since I'd taken a personality test. Back in high school I took the Color Code Test and learned to peg the way I would react in certain situation and discovered why I make decision the way I do. It was so interesting to me that once I could identify someone's personality, I could understand where they were coming from and even predict with pretty decent accuracy how they would behave in a given situation.

Bright Night Event May 7th, 2015

I had the pleasure of attending the Bright Night Event on May 7th this year at the Sleepy Ridge Golf Course. Kelly had been to their events before and said she thought I would have a ton of fun coming so she talked me into it. (But really it wasn't that hard to talk me into it.) I had been hearing such great things about their events and couldn't wait to check it out.They had a great line up of speakers and a fun dance party at the end. 

Modify Ink Review- Custom art for your home

When I went to the Build Your Blog Conference back in February, I met Rachel, the creator and genius behind  Modify Ink. I was immediately drawn to their booth (as was every other women at the conference) by their unique concept and by their colorful art display that had us all flocking to look at their posters like hummingbirds to sugar water!

I needed to know more!

5 things I Learned at the Build Your Blog Conference 2015

I blogged about my excitement and expectations for BYBC last month and decided it was high time I wrote a follow up post relaying what I learned, what I loved, what I'd do different and what I wore.

The Build Your Blog Conference is pretty big, like 600+ bloggers BIG but it never felt overwhelming to me. Instead I saw hundreds of smiling energetic faces all eager to learn how to create better content, reach bigger audiences, meet new friends and to learn how make more money blogging.

Build Your Blog 2015 (And my blogger identity crisis)

I've been looking forward to the Build Your Blog Conference for months now and here's why.

I've been struggling with the age old blogger dilemma, 

"What kind of blogger do I want to be and how can I stand out among the endless sea of bloggers??"

I started this blog for a completely different reason then what it's turned into.

That deliciously, tantalizing crispness is beginning to fill the air.

The leaves are starting to slowly change into their rich, fall colors.

The kids are headed back to school, and pumpkin 

flavored everything is hitting the shelves.

In my opinion,

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

With the change of the seasons our thoughts begin to turn to 

hosting and attending festive parities, school events and activities,

Halloween, Thanksgiving, and, of course, Christmas shopping!

With all those fun filled events that are filling up your calendar 

you will be looking for the perfect:

-Teacher appreciation gifts

-Hostess gifts

-Party decor

-Gifts for all those friends with fall birthdays

-Table settings

-Holiday decorations

-Christmas presents
