This week, I read a really interesting article about how Using the word “Just” can damage your credibility.  I posted it on facebook and found it even more interesting the people who responded and so passionately!

In my normal day job in sales, I use it more than I should, typically right before asking a customer for a meeting or an update.  After reading this article and rereading some of my emails, it does seem like I’m apologizing before even saying anything.  As if, before saying something, I automatically assume it’s unimportant.

And that’s just CRAZY!  Everything I say is important!!

Or at least that’s what I tell myself.  So here I am, apologizing for starting “just” another blog.

Seriously, another blog?

And who has time for that?!  Nothing super special, funny stories about our chaotic life, experiences, being a mom, random thoughts, money saving tips – as well as a way to communicate without overwhelming my facebook status.  Who’s invited?  All of you!   Friends, family and whomever else wants to stop by!

What’s the Berry Patch?

The berry patch is my family.  Blueberry is the oldest, Dewberry & Raspberry are our twin berries, and Boysenberry is the youngest berry.  And this is about life in our berry patch!
