Hustle Pineapple

Like with most people, Sundays are my lazy days. I still get up before everyone else in the house, but I use the quiet time to sort of reset for the week ahead. As with every morning, I start my day off with a cup of coffee (because I’d die without my cup-of-joe — don’t judge me, I’m a mom) and I browse the web to catch up on the blog articles I’ve been saving to read up till now.

During one brainstorm session, I thought that it might be really cool to create a series of weekly posts that listed both the job posts from the previous week across some popular networks and some great articles from other sites that writers might like. Why? Because it just consolidates a lot of work for some people, and it gives you guys the chance to read some other great posts from the web. With that being said, welcome to the very first edition of The Coffee Classifieds!
