Friday Roundup
Happy Friday, GEM readers!
I hope you all had a fantastic week! If you’re anything like us, you’re ready for the weekend, yes? But, before you head off for two glorious days of doing whatever floats your boat, here is a quick look at some of our top stories from the week.
Are you a procrastinator? I’ll admit that I sometimes am; especially when it’s something I’m not too thrilled about doing. Alexis talked about 10 Big Excuses And How To Overcome Them in her weekly 10 From GEM and, boy did I need this one!
Dave wrote about some lessons he’s learned from his kids and asked us to think about what we’ve learned from ours. The things we can learn from the young ones in our lives are pretty amazing if we take the time to pay attention. Check out Our Story Begins: What Have YOU Learned from Your Kids?
