I am a reader. Always have been. I devour the written word. I can’t remember a time when reading wasn’t a thing for me. This flame has been fanned by several key family members and a love of reading is… Continue Reading
My mom isn’t on Facebook. It isn’t her thing. In fact, she repels technology; yet another facet of my fabulous Mommy. This past Sunday, on Mothers Days, Facebook was flooded with pictures of moms and kids. It was fantastic. Meeting/seeing my friends… Continue Reading

Its that magical time of the year again: Girl Scout Cookie Time. I was never a Brownie or a Girl Scout, but I like to think of myself as a supporter of both organizations. I love most of the values they… Continue Reading
It is hard to believe that the first two months of 2014 have come and gone and that it is time for me to check in on these goals I set for the year. I am so glad that not… Continue Reading
