			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-929" title="leather furniture" src="http://www.alexshares.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/leather-furniture-300x171.jpg" alt="leather furniture" width="300" height="171" />Growing up, my grandparents had this ultra <a href="http://www.furnituredepot.com/">modern furniture</a> set that I thought was too cool for someone like them to have. It looked too much like something I&#8217;d see on MTV in a New York studio or something.</p>
<p>It was black leather &#8211; like material. Low to the ground and quilted. I guess that&#8217;s the right term.  It was certainly way more hip than the plaid green and brown truly 70&#8217;s style furniture set we had at home. You know, the kind with the wooden arms and feet, maybe even the wooden shoulder wings? Ick.</p>
<p>I wish I had a photo of the furniture set I&#8217;m talking about but it&#8217;s not in our photos here and all the photos at my grandparents house were blown away by a tornado a few years ago. So, I guess for now, I&#8217;ll just look at these photos of  this cool <a href="http://www.furnituredepot.com/buttontufted-black-full-leather-grande-sofa-loveseat-ottoman-p-6382.html" target="_blank">leather sofa </a> and remember a time from my childhood.</p>
<p>This is a sponsored post and this <a href="http://www.furnituredepot.com/living-room-furniture-leather-sectional-sofas-c-34_3.html">leather sofa</a> is cool too , but the story is true and I did really love that furniture set of my grandparent&#8217;s.</p>

<p><a href="http://thesassysistersinsales.blogspot.com/2009/11/balance-is-not-being-on-teeter-totter.html">Balance is not being on a teeter &#8211; totter</a></p>
<p>This week a fellow sister, Amanda of DawnCorrespondence, asked for some advice from our group. She is struggling to keep the balance of work, home, and her business.</p>
<p>It seems like balance is the hardest part of being an entrepreneur for many of us, but if you&#8217;ll take a minute to figure out your priorities, you might be right where you need to be with just a few simple steps. Yes, certain things will rise and fall on the priority list, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be extreme swings.</p>
<p>My advice was, and always has been, to do what you love and&#8230;&#8230; <a href="http://thesassysistersinsales.blogspot.com/2009/11/balance-is-not-being-on-teeter-totter.html">read the whole post</a></p>
