I have been working on my calendar for next year and I wanted to share a few tips and tricks that I find really helpful to keep your business running more efficiently and hopefully, with less forgotten details. 
 
As many of you know, I am a single mom to 4 yr old twins and don’t have one second to spare (most of the time) unless of course you want to come over for a martini! I am the queen of organized and rely on my calendar to tell me what to do …
