Remember how great it seemed when the characters on the television show Friends would just randomly meet up at the Corner Perk coffee shop? Well, that’s how I like to think of my blog — your virtual corner coffee shop, where you can drop in any time and catch up with friends.
I work full-time as a marketing & communications consultant, so all blogging is done in whatever free time I can squeeze out of my day, which is generally a coffee break (if I’m lucky!).
Sometimes I’m not so lucky, but if you check in once a week, there’s usually a new tidbit here or there. You can also subscribe via my RSS feed, which will alert you when posts go up. Or keep in touch via twitter (@coffeewithjulie).
Blog Topics
Along the top menu bar of the this blog’s homepage, you’ll see the four general categories that I blog about:

Family: anecdotes from my family life with Hubby, Stella (age 8), and Max (age 3)
