In honor of Veteran's Day

I decided to take a break at work to read a little news. I clicked on this story.

I should have known better. I won't lie, it made me cry right here at my desk.

Tonight when I pick up my girls and take them home, I am going give them extra hugs and kisses. I am going to be patient with my 2 year old when she stands in the kitchen and says "I want…." but can't make up her mind. I play with them instead of thinking I need to clean/do laundry, etc and enjoy the time with them.

Most of all, I will be thankful to God for them and for those that lost their lives defending our country.

Jessica Knows 15 Day: Day 1

Today is Day 1 of Jessica Knows 15 Days of Marketing. I am super excited about this as I hope to learn a lot from her. We started Day 1 with a little homework assignment:

“For homework, I want you to think about your favorite brands, whether it’s a product, a service, a social networking tool, whatever. Then I want you to share with us in the comments what your three favorite brands are and why. Who knows? Maybe a publicist for that brand will see it and reach out.”

Diet Coke (Coca-cola): Duh, look at this blog and it says it all. lol

Sony: We are BIG Sony fans in this house. We buy a lot of Sony electronics and never are disappointed.

Kraft foods: I love all their food products and their website is great for recipes.

Stay tuned as I learn a ton from Jessica.
