I’m back! Here is my 10 day journey after having a breast augmentation… Day 1: The day of the surgery was surprisingly simple. The staff was relaxed, the vibe was excited, and the sun was even shining into the pre-op room! As I waited in my surgery gown and the IV was hooked up, I was oblivious to the roller coaster ride ahead of me. My doctor came in to the room, I met the ane... Read More »

If you are like me (someone who loves food, especially snacks) you probably have a lot of mess going on in your pantry. Mine has always looked like a tornado ran through it.

We tried organizing it in categories: pasta, soups and mixes on one shelf, cereal, granola bars, ... Read More »

The thorough overview of each principle is intended to build a strong foundation for their understanding of our government and its complexities. Two of the six principles are Checks and Balances and Separation of... Read More »
Until I had a baby, my boobs were fun! They gave me curves, looked great in my tops/dresses/swimsuits and they probably enjoyed resting nicely in pretty bras from stores like Victoria’s Secret. But, when I needed them most, when they actually had to be put to use; they were worthless! I prepared for this, I swear I did; I read all the books on breastfeeding, even attended a class on it.

I get a high from a good deal – I can save 20%? Yes, please! So, I thought I’d share with everyone my best money-saving secrets: 1) I used to work in retail, so I know a lot of the “tricks”, especially when it comes to coupons. Most of the time, the cashiers can manually enter discounts, even when they say a deal or coupon is “expired”. Bed, Bath, and Beyond is ... Read More »
This topic is near and dear to me. As a kid I was never an athlete. Didn’t like team sports. Couldn’t run, jump or catch. Finally in my 20’s I started working out like Jane Fonda. Aerobic classes were much more my style. I was modeling at the time and knew if I was to continue doing swimsuit work I’d better find something to keep the “bottom line” in place! As t...
