What Would Grandma Do?

We women have so much on our plates -- too much. That's why we need to be smart about how we prepare. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, thank heavens. There are people who have done the experimenting for us, found out what works and what doesn't work -- and they are willing to share. Phew! One such person is Wendy DeWitt, who will be doing a presentation locally in November (see Upcoming Events). Slap down that nagging feeling you should be doing "something" and attend a meeting that will give you direction and show you an easier way.
