Reflections on 2022: Where I’ve Been and Where I’m Going

January 4, 2023 by Liz SanFilippo Hall

Let me start this by saying: this blog isn't going anywhere. I may be sharing my reflections on 2022, but I also recognize that it's been a loooong time since I've posted to my Oops & Daisies blog. A whole lot has changed since I last wrote and shared a post on here, nearly a year and a half ago. But I think just about everyone can agree that, over the last few years, little has gone as … [Read more...]

Work From Home Parents Share Tips On Juggling Work with Young Kids at Home

April 8, 2020 by Liz SanFilippo Hall

work from home

Let's be honest. In both office and work from home settings, there are distractions. But the distractions are different. Instead of a coworker popping into your cubicle to catch up, now you have a young kid tugging at your shirt asking for a snack for the millionth time since they woke up. Or saying they're bored and want something to do. Working from home with kids? It can be hard, especially … [Read more...]

How to Create a Vision Board: The Power of Visualization:

February 4, 2020 by Liz SanFilippo Hall

Vision board

I cracked open another moving box. As with the other ones, it was jam packed with office odds and ends. I took out a few folders and found a place for them within my desk. A couple books went up on a shelf. And then a poster board. Although it was clearly worn and creased, I opened it up carefully. My vision board. A Vision Board: Visualizing What You Want in Your Life  I had made … [Read more...]

Writing Tips: The Best and Worst Writing Advice I’ve Ever Received

October 30, 2019 by Liz SanFilippo Hall

text over a piece of paper - best and worst writing advice I've ever received

My English professor sorted through a stack of books on his desk in his poorly-lit office, searching for an anthology that had a story he wanted me to read. We were meeting to discuss my creative writing, but as my time at college was coming to a close, he asked the question I looked forward to but also dreaded. “Have you thought about what you want to do after college?” I sat … [Read more...]

A Day in the Life of a Work-at-Home Mom

June 19, 2019 by Liz SanFilippo Hall

work-from-home mom

I’ve been a full-time work-at-home mom since I had my son in January 2017. Since then I’m often asked, “how do you do it all?!” I don’t really understand the question, honestly. I’m no different than any other mom trying to juggle multiple hats. Even so, I thought I’d share a sneak peek into my work-at-home mom (WAHM) routine and life. Because routine? I thrive on it! When we … [Read more...]
