Screen Shot 2015-02-25 at 10.07.36 AM

I like to work from home sometimes, not a lot, but sometimes. With the recent cold weather leading to school closings, my daughter, and all of her classmates for that matter, has been spending more time at home as well.

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?

I’ve been feeling really good all week! Apparently a lot of readers really enjoyed last week’s article detailing my second-grade daughter’s desire to get her room organized while helping others in our community. 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!

Out with the old and in with the new….but not so fast! As we look forward to 2015 we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of our most popular blog articles from the past year. We’ve covered everything from helping others through clothing donations to the amazing wealth of business solutions Horizon Goodwill offers to local employers. It was also a very fascinating experience watching how one man learned first hand everything Goodwill Industries does on a daily basis to help local communities. We must admit, however, we were totally shocked by what article came in at Number One! Curious? [Read more…] about A Horizon Goodwill Blog Year In Review
