They ranged from: finding a variety of gluten-free restaurants (surprisingly plentiful for the area) in four different towns that her whole family could enjoy; to finding the best{ Read More }

Gluten-Free Travels in Italy
A Florida-based client wants to go to a retreat in Tuscany, Italy in September, followed by a few days in Florence, with accommodations near the Duomo in the Historic district so she could do all her sightseeing by walking.

Urgent Request for a Dog Trainer
My client unexpectedly acquired a sweet German Shepherd named Karma, formerly known as Marley, and found out very quickly that she needed… well the whole household needed dog training pronto.

Traveling with a Teenager to the Big Apple!
My client wanted to take her soon-to-be 16-year-old daughter to the Big Apple aka NYC to celebrate this momentous event with a little detour to Rochester, New York on the way.

Create Wedding Photo Album
My clients never received their wedding album much less any photographs from their wedding photographer. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with not only a beautiful album, but photo’s as well for their second anniversary. So, I created a 125 page customized hard-bound wedding album using Shutterfly software and the wife was so thrilled{ Read More }
Financial Data Management
This project had some very unique challenges! I organized, categorized and created files for 5 years worth of financial and tax records in preparation for filing current taxes nation-wide. What made this atypical is the fact that not only do the clients live on a boat—where space is precious, but also the fact that I{ Read More }
