What’s a wordless Wednesday on the first Wednesday of November without cute Halloween photos? We had a great time enjoying the local shopping area with 500 of our closest friends. I am actually loving this tradition because it’s daylight, safe, and whole families get in on the action. Lots of fun. Out of respect for […]

If you’re like me, you have several Google accounts to separate your personal life, business and even blogging. But the frustration has always been you have to log out of one account to log into another one because it appeared Google doesn’t allow multiple accounts to be open in the same browser. So you couldn’t […]

It’s been a while since I participated in a wordless Wednesday. This one has been making the rounds on the net, but it was just too funny not to share. Happy Harvesting.   Tweet

In the midst of getting into my new job then having my lovely accident, I completely forgot to even reflect upon, let alone fully absorb the fact that last month I officially entered middle age. Forgive me. Here, let me make it up to you: I remember a time when my dad turned 40 and […]

With Fall officially here, there’s nothing holding me back from my full-on, unapologetic, completely out of control pumpkin spice latte obsession. Well, nothing except a lack of funds to purchase several every day. No matter, I have found a way around this little detail – my own pumpkin spice latte recipe. You see, last year […]

I Have an Excuse, or Five

I’ve suddenly become a pitiful blogger, posting a pathetic one post a week, for a couple of weeks. I have a legitimate excuse. In fact, I have several. Want to hear them? OK. Here it goes. 1. I got a job and contrary to popular belief, I actually work when I’m there. I’m PR stud […]
