Pantry Order

Pantry Order

If you are like me (someone who loves food, especially snacks) you probably have a lot of mess going on in your pantry.  Mine has always looked like a tornado ran through it.  It’s just pure unorganized chaos in there every time the door is opened.

What To Do When You Have the Boss From Hell: Quit!

People have to remember that doctors and ... Read More »

What It’s Really Like to Die

What It’s Really Like to Die

So what happens when we die? It’s hard to figure this one out because, well…once someone dies, we can’t really ask them what it was like. But, some people have instances where they have nearly died and they lived to tell their story. Actually, some people, in a scientific sense, have actually died (for a few moments), came back, and lived on to tell their story of what it was rea... Read More »

Confession: What Blogging is REALLY Like

I started blogging a little over a year ago. In this time I’ve learned SO MUCH about the blogging world and I must confess, it’s not really what it appears to be.  I’ve wanted to share what I’m about to say for a long time now, but I was nervous about how others would respond….especially since many of the reasons I started WIRL Project stem from many of these blogging...
