Wow! There’s a lot going on this weekend. My cousin Valorie is getting married today and we’re traveling to the wedding as you read this. Many best wishes to the new couple as they start their lives together! I was married 18 years ago this month, but it still seems like yesterday…

A Momentous Week For The Life Skills Network.

We’ve added TWO new fantastic blogs:

The first one is Marc and Angel Hack Life. Marc and Angel write about all sorts of life hacks, tips for personal productivity, and their site “serves as a repository of advice based on some of our life experiences.” They write a lot of “list posts” which, being a list kind of person, I personally love!

The Life Skills Network was also blessed to have Simple Mom join. We were so pleased to add her to our growing group as well! Her style is a “cross between a mom blog and a productivity blog. Lifehacker wears an apron, in other words.” She writes on topics important to home managers and her byline is “Live simply, stay sane. Life hacks for home managers.” We’re thrilled to have her on board so be sure and subscribe to her feed today as well! Check out these posts:
