Last night I attended an exclusive preview of Barnes & Noble’s Discovery Weekend happing November 21 – 23rd. Being a teeny-bopper at heart, I was especially excited to learn what Nick Jonas had to do with Barnes & Noble. I heard rumblings of some sort of something, so I drove to Aurora, Colorado to meet […]
I’ve always had a passion for fashion. Back in 6th grade, I was the “new kid” just transported from the fast pace San Francisco life, to a town of 600 people in the middle of Nowhere, IL. I had a boy’s haircut, fancy clothes and talked like a valley girl. It’s a wonder how I […]

Phone contracts. You buy the top of the line newest and greatest phone, but to get that phone for anything less than $500 you have to sign up for a 2 year contract. Two years! I have no idea what I’m doing in two weeks, so locking into a two year plan is daunting. […]

Pregnancy and childbirth are normally a time of joy and excitement in the life of a woman and her family. The impending addition is meticulously planned for and awaited.

Labor Day weekend in our family means three days of packing in all the summer fun that we can, before we wave good-bye to the long, hot days and welcome the cooler nights and changing leaves. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t get around to half the stuff I’d planned for summer […]
