Notes From the Home Front: Me versus My Calendar

Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by Steph.

I swear, my inspirational calendar is mocking me. I’m not even sure where it came from—maybe the printer my company uses gave them out. It’s big and glossy so I hung it up in my gray cubicle. All year it has sat up there, giving me smug messages: Focus: People with goals succeed because they [...]

A couple weeks ago I featured a round up of cute dog pictures from around the globe. It was such a hit, and I received so many more pictures that I decided to do a part two. Here’s my contribution: a cute and lonely puppy on a sunny day in Prague. From Adventure Rob: a [...]

Posted on 01. Jul, 2010 by Steph.

Confession: There is a part of me that’s always a little reluctant to tell new people I meet about this site. I’m proud of what I do, but I get a little tired of the confused look on people’s faces when they try to figure out what exactly I mean by “travel blogger.” The cute [...]
