Small Business Spotlight: Sunrise Soap Company

By: Stephanie1 Comment

Today I’m highlighting Sunrise Soap Company, a local business owned by a savvy woman named Chris. If you are looking for all-natural, handmade soaps, lotions, or other bath products, this is your go-to place.

My middle daughter, Abby, had a preschool field trip to Chris’ shop in York, PA back in the fall and I have since ordered from Sunrise Soap Company online.

In my first order I got the Spearmint, Orange, and Lime soap, and when Chis found out that I was a blogger she sent me the lip gloss and a few other soap samples to try as well. (I didn’t even tell her about the blog, but my PayPal account is named BlogU because of the BlogU Conference, so I guess it wasn’t that hard to figure out. 🙂 )

Ten Reasons Why I’m Not Giving Up Our Land Line

By: Stephanie6 Comments

I don’t know about you, but this conversation comes up at least once a week in our house.

Should we get rid of the land line and just use our cell phones? It almost seems to be a battle of the sexes.

From what I gather in my personal experience and those of my friends, it’s usually the husbands who want to cut the ties and get rid of the land line because it eliminates an extra monthly bill and there are less telemarketers to deal with. Fair enough.  

However, I’ve been really reluctant to give up our land line (as have many of my female friends). I shared a few of my reasons with the Binkies and Briefcases Facebook page, and you guys had so many more great reasons to add to my list!

I’ve put together a list of reasons why we ladies prefer to keep our land lines, thankyouverymuch.

"We are thinking about giving up our landline." Here are 10 things you should consider first.

I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 months!

And I’m still holding steady pretty much right where I started.

womp womp.

Hey, at least I haven’t gained any weight from my starting point, so I guess that’s something.

Actually, I lost 0.8 pounds this week. I weighed in at 179.2.

But it must be getting pretty boring for you guys to hear bout me going up half a pound, then down three quarters of a pound week after week. [Read more…]
