So today is my Michael’s 24th Birthday. The “M” in MAB. The cheese to my macaroni, and so many things in my and other people’s lives. Since he’s in school full-time [check out his portfolio here], and working part-time, you … Continue reading

Last week was odd. I’d been in a bit of a funk, and started to realize the new responsibilities that go along with being your own boss. I heard it said, during a Lion’s Guild [a motivational, proactive group for … Continue reading

Lately, we’ve been doing a lot of MAB soul-searching. What is MAB? What do we want MAB to become? How can MAB serve others better? And what will that look like for us? There’s a lot of loaded questions we’re … Continue reading
