I’m not sure when my daughter got this old, but last Saturday KitKat went to her first Homecoming dance. Luckily, her first fancy school dance was an easy one on me….none of her friends were interested in going with dates, so a big group of girls went to the dance together. I was stunned when…

The Challenges of Working at Home and Taking a Day Off
I am convinced that there is nothing quite like working at home. As much as I love what I do – I write all day long, I get to interact with amazing people all over social media and my business trips feel more like extended girl’s nights out – I have a tendency to work…

How to Avoid Cleaning the House in 10 Simple Steps
When my kids were little and taking care of them (and my house) was my only job, I remember thinking ahead to the day when all of my kids would be in school and I would be in an empty house for 6 hours each day. When I was in the middle of the toddler…
Win a $40 Sam’s Club Gift Card From Yoplait Light
I have always appreciated the importance of breakfast, even though I am not a fan of cereal. At an early age, I discovered that I couldn’t last very long into the day without some morning food. Because cereal not my favorite, I began turning to yogurt in the morning quite often. Yogurt is a good…
Kalso Earth Shoes – Review and Giveaway
I don’t know exactly what led up to my chronic foot pain, but I vividly remember sitting in the car with my mom two summers ago in throbbing, excruciating pain. I couldn’t believe that feet could cause so much whole-body pain. Two summers before that day, I started having heel problems and discovered that plantar…
Meant to Be That Way – Photostory Friday & Give Me Your Best Shot
I got a message on Facebook a few weeks ago regarding a friend’s friend who needed a last minute wedding photographer. My friend (actually a long time client of mine) recommended me, the bride-to-be and I chatted and checked dates, and I had a wedding on my schedule. I arrived at the wedding location last…

The kids all dressed up in costume and decorated the house like the Great Hall, and all the food they served had…
Twitter vs Facebook – Which Rules Social Media?
I read a compelling article this past week about the drastic changes that social media has seen in the past 10 years. I was shocked to realize that there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube on September 11, 2001. How different would the experience of 9/11 have been had the people in the middle of…
Playing With Fire – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
Summer is long gone. School has started, swimming suits have been replaced by soccer cleats, and late nights have been traded in for early mornings.
