Happy Monday! If you’re on the site, then you already know that I’ve updated the site layout! I loved by previous version, but I just needed to switch things up! It took some difficult navigation of WordPress and learning a little bit about PHP code, but I am proud to say that I made it through, although I will definitely hire someone next time!!! In addition to the site redesign, I’ve also opened a Spreadshirt [...]

Yesterday, I, along with some other great folks, was recognized for my volunteer efforts within the office of the Greater Illinois Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (MS Society, from now on). Since 2000, I’ve been volunteering with the MS Society at various events and the occasional office visit, but only recently have I established somewhat of a regular presence in the office. The luncheon was held at the fabulous Kinzie Chophouse (400 N. [...]

Let’s make [...]

Last year, when my mother passed away, my sister and I decided that we wanted to make a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s scholarship program, in her honor. The scholarships assist high school students who either have a parent living with MS or who have MS themselves. My mom was a very big believer in all things education, so it was such a natural decision! Now this year, in addition to planning events [...]
