Materials: Expedit
Description: We were inspired by other Expedit bed hacks, specifically this one and decided to make a Queen Platform bed. My daughter moved into an apartment and we needed to have more storage as well as a nice size bed.
We were very excited that we (two females without any experience) could create this bed.

For most of my life I did not think of myself as creative at all. Then, many years ago, I started a greeting card company, despite that I had rarely purchased or sent greetings cards.
This week’s Workspace of the Week is Dion’s work table:
Dion’s new office setup is relaxing, expansive, and perfectly suited for his needs. The light colored wood against the dark wall gives the office a sleek, modern feel. The dark wall also makes it easier to focus on the monitor by offering no distractions and a clear view of the content on the screen.
Our children, like most children today, will choose something sweet when you give them a beverage choice. They’ll want fruit juice or a soda or something akin to that if I let the child make the choice.

As some parts I am still unsure what top put (as I am too concerned with the plants I am placing) our neighbor gave us their old Ikea polycarbonate cabinet that has been with them since 2007. The polycarbonate backing was already removed from the carcass.
This month’s challenge comes from Gwendolyn Pearce, who would rather be doing almost anything else than buying a car. Each month, we’ve been giving you financial challenges. Big or small, that’s up to you. But we believe that exercising these different financial skills will help to open up new possibilities of earning and saving.
When we take on projects that don’t feel right, we’re stressed.
When we agree to another coffee date, we run out of time.
When we pack in too many meetings, we miss important deadlines.
No matter what we do, it seems like there’s never enough time to get things done.

I was in small claims court. What a headache. A big, fat, karmic snafu over a sour business deal.
We were in mediation. The Other Guy sat on one side of the Mediator Man, I sat on the other.
Don’t spend a second worrying about what kind of financial success someone else has achieved. Be happy for them, but don’t waste even an ounce of your energy using it as a benchmark.
The only benchmark that matters is whether or not you’re in a better place than you were a year ago.
It doesn’t matter what stuff your best friend has.
What if learning wasn’t confined to a rigid program in a university? What if you could begin learning now, without going back to school?
The One-Year, Alternative Graduate School Program was one of the more popular parts of the original AONC book, in the same chapter where I compared the value of my graduate school degree to my career as an independent writer.
