I’m guilty. I love reality television. Let me clarify—I love certain types of reality programing. I can’t, however, watch nearly 99% of it. I simply don’t care about a rich guy trying to find his next wife, what restaurant needs turned around and I could very happily live my life not “Keeping Up With The Housewives of Duluth, Iowa”. But I will tell you one program that is just captivating: A&E’s “Storage Wars”. [Read more…] about How Is Shopping At Horizon Goodwill Like A Reality Show?

The article has received several shares on social media and resulted in multiple emails showing up in my in-box, even a phone call…from my mother, but hey, she was impressed with her grand baby! Yeah, feeling pretty, pretty good…until I came home from work last night. [Read more…] about Making Time To Get Organized

January Homework

Hello again, Horizon Goodwill readers! I haven’t posted in awhile, but to say it’s been a bit busy since my last article is a tremendous understatement. My family and I celebrated our first Holiday Season at our new address since moving from Pittsburgh earlier this summer, and I must admit, it’s been quite hectic. Relatives from out of town came to visit, multiple school pageants were held, neighborhood parties celebrated and we experienced our first Berkeley County ice storm. Yes, I’m ready for a much needed lull in the action. All I could think about yesterday at work was coming home, lighting a fire and relaxing, but my seven-year-old daughter had other ideas…..
