May is such a fun month...officially kicking off summer! The kids are done with school, I had a fantastic Mother's Day, an even better birthday and we even squeezed in a vacation to Hilton Head.

One of the hardest things about writing on a daily basis is the constant churn of creating compelling content. There are posts that I am very proud of and there are posts that I would rather pretend never existed. I think we've all been there. (all the more reason to take a break and just live once in awhile)
Read MoreHappy Friday folks! We've got an exciting weekend ahead hence I'll be signing off early.
Sweet Olivia turns FOUR years old today! 4! It's so crazy to believe she weighed 3 lbs at birth! Happy birthday Olivia Loo!
Read MoreI don't know if Mercury is in Retrograde or what this week but I feel as if there's a lot of communication drop outs and negativity swirling around me. I looked it up...it isn't.

You know what I'm talking about. You chose unwisely and ate a carb laden, ridiculously portioned meal that made you want to pull a Costanza once you returned to the office.
Does that only happen to me?
Read MoreOn the subject of girlfriends. With so much change in 2015, it's only fitting that I acknowledge the importance of my girlfriends. This especially resonated for me this week after editing a piece for a client of mine.
My client is a savvy 70-year old grandma who always has a few "isms" to share. It got me thinking about my own girls. Everyone knows my husband is my rock but there are some things only a woman can relate to.
Read MoreBirthing anything is a long, arduous process. Human being or business, there are some similar emotions I went through. Nerves, stress, laughter, fear, anxiety, pride, strength and even weakness. Just to name a few...
Now that we're in the swing of it and moving at crazy speeds is the new norm; I can now look back and say that creating a brand was far more difficult than the day-to-day roller coasters. So far. Perhaps that's the reason I started this whole thing - something to do with thriving off change.
I'm referencing this post and how this whole 'Oak St. Social' came about! I get asked about our name and what it means at every meeting I go on. Well, today I'm giving you the back story...
