Small Gestures To Show Your Partner You Love Them

By Laura on June 26, 2015 in Relationships

If you are deeply in love with your partner, it’s a good idea to show them from time to time. Saying “I love you” at the end of telephone calls sometimes isn’t enough. However, I know from experience how difficult it can be to come up with the best gestures. With that in mind, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking of different ideas you might like to try. I’ve even used some of them myself in the past, and so I’m pretty confident you’ll get some good results. Of course, you are free to do whatever you think is… Continue Reading

By Laura on June 25, 2015 in Relationships

Sara is going to explain to us today a few ways to know when divorce is the best option.

Thanks Sara for another great post. This one is about knowing when divorce is really your best option. Most people would like to think they are going to remain in love with their partner for their entire life. However, things sometimes get in the way of that, and so it’s important we all know when it’s time to call it a day. Of course, there are usually many different things to consider, and that is especially the case if there are children involved. Even so, the little ones don’t need to hear their mommy and daddy constantly arguing, as that… Continue Reading

Get Started 757 with cox business and Inc magazine

As most of you know I spend the better part of my life on a plane or traveling in a car with my boyfriend a.k.a. my suitcase. He is great but I just wish he would carry his own stuff because I am tired of pushing him around. What’s the fun in that? While working in the music business I always thought I would be on tour with a rock band but find myself 10 years later touring cities I have never been to while representing Cox Business and Inc. Magazine at stellar events around the country. I support and… Continue Reading

By Laura on June 23, 2015 in Relationships

Thank you to Kristin O’Brien for this guest post about winning after a break-up. Take it away! When a relationship comes to an end, it can be hard to keep from over-analyzing the situation and worrying yourself over what went wrong. If you’ve just gone through a tough break-up, the best thing you can do is to take the opportunity to get reacquainted with yourself. Find ways to remember all the reasons you love yourself and all of the reasons you are independently fantastic.

One thing I’ve noticed about girls is that they tend to romanticize relationships. There are plenty of ladies out there who think that getting with someone is the answer to all their problems.

When you get with someone, you have to know that it’s what you want. Here are six things every girl should know about relationships. #1 Both of you have to work at it Relationships are two-sided things…. Continue Reading

Let’s Play Ball: Live With SF Giants Bryan Srabian at AT&T Park Friday 5/7/15 for Social Hangout

By Melany on May 7, 2015 in Goodies, Greatest Hits

I have Matt Williams rookie card in mint condition. My sister was the only girl invited to Barry Bonds birthday party when she was 7. My mom bowled with some of the wives from the SF Giants team circa 70’s and I learned how to fire a softball from the hot corner when I was just a little, snarky one. I grew up playing every sport under the sun. By the time I was in high school, I was an annoying date for any baseball game since I had the ability (and still do) to call pitch location before the… Continue Reading
