    Rodeo Media

    So, for the longest time Naptime Design was involved in many genres of media, but finally, this social “medialite” cowgirl found her proverbial wings and flew. Between my competitive horsemanship that went from beginner English lessons not too many years back, to now owning a couple of amazing horses, I realized that my heart and soul revolves around rodeo.

    New Year’s Goals – Leave 10 Bad Habits in the Dust

    New Year’s is upon us and we all hope to make each year better than the last. I was perusing my Facebook account and happened upon Craig Darling’s inspirational idea that New Year’s Resolutions should be goals rather than hokey resolutions. He said, “I know it is hip to set a few resolutions. How many do we actually keep? It is a pretty poor success record over all… Try to set some goals instead.
