Week 3: Beyond the Closet
MY DREAM DINNER PARTY
Three dinner guests. Any time in history.
Dolly Parton. Pamela Churchill Harriman. Julia Child.
I full disclosure, I recorded this video the day before Dolly died… what a coincidence. I bet she’s on a lot of folks’ dream dinner party list now. But from one small town girl with big dreams to another, Dolly’s always been on my list.
Pamela because I’m fascinated by her power and influence - and as a fellow woman behind the scenes but never in the elected seat, I know what it’s like to be “in the room where it happened” - though in a much smaller scale and in another age and time. Those of us who have spent time in politics in the last 30 years stand on the shoulders of women like her who were in the room when women weren’t even allowed in the building.
And Julia? Because we’d have an absolute blast.
Her larger-than-life laugh and joie de vivre remind me of my grandmother Leona. Neither ever met a stranger and both were always up for an adventure… in the kitchen and out.
Influence, humor, history, politics, food and a good bottle of Sancerre. Sounds like my kind of evening.
Who’s at YOUR table?
Three seats. No rules.

Summer office hours can mean "out of office" for some but more often than not, it means "work from home," with working parents needing more flexibility when kids are out of school. Whether you work from home full-time, run your own business, or simply need a dedicated space to pay bills and manage your family's busy schedule, that home office is working overtime come summer, with the increased time at home, both at the desk and away from it.

12 Questions work Jennifer. Week 2:
MY FIRST LESSONS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
My first job was in my dad’s law office during summers and school breaks.
At the time, I thought I was answering phones, filing paperwork and doing whatever needed to be done.
Looking back, I was getting a masterclass in small-business ownership.
I saw long hours. Difficult decisions. Responsibility for employees. Clients trusting you during enormously important moments of their lives.
But I also saw the pride that comes from building something of your own and serving your community well.
I didn’t just inherit my parents’ work ethic.
I inherited the belief that a business can be both successful and deeply personal.
That’s still how I try to lead today.
Now it’s your turn: What was your first job—and what did it teach you that you still use now?

Let's be honest - laundry is never really "done." And summer laundry? Forgetaboutit…. With wet swimsuits and sweaty changes of clothes, kids home from college or just from grade school for two and a half months, the molehills become literal mountains of laundry that seem to regenerate the more you hack away at it! As part of our summer series for surviving the summer (college dorm room organizing, pantry optimization, ultimate moving checklist to date), this week we're diving into those piles of dirty clothes.

For some, summer brings with it new chapters in new places. It's long been the season to make move - school is between sessions, work loads are a bit lighter, there's vacation time accrued to take time off. Whether it's your first home for a new college graduate, your forever home, or simply your next chapter, a move represents a fresh start. But anyone who's moved knows the excitement can quickly turn into overwhelm. How many times have any of us said, "I'm never moving again!"
