The following is a repost: It's that time of year where I am starting to design my family's Christmas card. Each year, I send a Christmas card to my family members and close friends. The card usually consists of a collage of photos of the kids or characters of some sort ...

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday. There is nothing better than family and spending time with the ones you love. This year, amongst all the turkey and dressing and other holiday fare,  I made a point of thinking about my life, reflecting on what is truly important. It ...

Today started off badly. I was in the early morning throes of PMS and cramping like crazy and had to pick myself out of the bed and head to an early morning breakfast meeting at my corporate office. The day got better though, when after the meeting, we were told ...

....out of the Big Apple this past weekend. And let me tell you. I ate well, but I am not quite full. I'm still hungry for more New York City action! I plan on visiting NYC very soon. Possibly during Fashion Week in February. I arrived in New York after spending ...

Let me start off by saying a great big THANK YOU to all the wonderful Cubicle Chicks and Dudes who have visited TheCubicleChick.com on the daily. It has almost been a month since I began this niche blog and so far, the response has been overwhelming. Writing has always been ...

I've found myself recently talking to my 15 year old son more and more about money and how to spend it, save it, etc. When I was coming up, my parents never discussed money with me. As an only child, I was severely spoiled and I went into my adulthood ...

When I first saw our elegant First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of Glamour online featured as one of their Women of The Year 2009, I swooned. You could call me a Presidential groupie if you want (no Monica Lewinsky) but I heart Mrs. Obama and her equally fabulous ...
