boise: I'm in the Komen Race for the Cure!
- 04/29/09 12:17 PM
I am finally going to do it! I am going to do the Susan G. Komen 5K walk/run with my local Curves group here in Boise. It has been a few years since I have been in any kind of race or walk. I thought it would be great to join my friends and support a great cause for cancer research. We all know the importance of giving back to our communities. I have been fortunate that no one in my family has ever had breast cancer. Each time I get my yearly physical it is always a sigh of relief! … (7 comments)

boise: Five Tips on Selecting your Domain Name!
- 03/16/09 10:39 AM
How many of you struggled in finding a domain name that either matches your business name or describes what you do in a very short space? Our name of our parent company is One Day Redesigns, Inc. I know how challenging it can be to find the name that truly depicts your image and says it in a short and sweet way. Companies spend lots of money to get the right message across to their potential clients.

- 11/16/08 11:11 AM
I had a unique opportunity last week to do something fun, inspirational and creative! I wanted to express love in action with some brand new shoes! Seven weeks ago, I met an amazing young Woman Entrepreneur that opened "Perfect Pair Shoe Boutique" in Boise, ID.

I had an interesting and refreshing experience in Networking the last couple of weeks through the eWomen Networkhere in Boise, ID. Their premise is to come from the position of giving to your fellow guests and members rather than the traditional hunting expedition of getting from others that so many newtorking events can lead and generate.

It was a great time to meet some other Women Business Owners in our community in an intimate setting of six. We were able to meet, learn and share some ideas we had … (7 comments)

boise: Boise, ID Home Becomes "The Neighborhood Crown Jewel!"
- 07/16/08 01:37 PM
Throughout my life I have been passionate about Color! It has been fascinating to see how people react to color so differently. It can sometimes give us energy or deplete us of our energy. Color is so powerful! One Day Redesigns offers homeowners personalized Certified Dewey Color Consultations. It is one of my favorite things that I do. It is very rewarding to make such an impact on homeowners with dramatic Color changes! Recently, I was asked to speak for PERSI, the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho.

I thought it would be a great idea to take some pictures on our family week around our beautiful neighborhood. Thankfulness and gratitude swell in our hearts as we take this family walk. Walking is a great time to catch up with uninterrupted family talk, questions and good old fashioned fun. Of course the side benefit is also getting healthier with each walk we take. The story of our house was such a miraculous event that I never tire of walking up with thankfulness for our home and the beautiful neighborhood we live in.

boise: What kind of bird songs do you sing?
- 06/27/08 04:50 PM
We have a new set of evening song birds playing their nightly concert. Perhaps this bird is a night owl, but it sounds just like a day bird, whatever that may be called. My husband just arrived into town and I figure if this "City Girl" has a question about nature, she just asks her husband, Dan about it. Especially, since he has an undergraduate degree in Wildlife Fisheries Resources. He listened and he said that is probably a "Dickie Bird". Well, of course, why didn't I know that? I thought maybe the bird was a dysfunctional bird or maybe he got his days and … (11 comments)

Since, it is Father's Day weekend, I would like to honor my late Father-in-law, J.R. "Dick" Woodworth. Most of us come from dysfunctional families. However, I am grateful that there are surrogate family members that come into our lives that help to fill in some of those gaps. My father-in-law and I had a very special and unique relationship. Of all of the family members, he was the one showed me the most unconditional love. I am very grateful for that. It did not matter how well I performed. He thought I was great all of the time. He was one … (6 comments)

- 06/05/08 05:26 AM
We went on an early morning walk today. The beatuiful Boise, Idaho skies were clear and it looked it was too good of an opportunity to exercise inside today. As we were walking in our beautiful neighborhood, I was amazed to see the beauty and colors of nature. The spectacular flowers are in bloom and the plants looked beautiful. When we arrived back to our home, I was amazed at how tall our rosebushes had gotten recently. It seemed that not too long ago, we had trimmed those hardy rose bushes to little stubs and they were not even two and … (0 comments)
