We REALLY Were Awesome In Middle School: BlogU 15

Last weekend I had one of those Experiences-of-a-Lifetime-You-Will-Never-Forget. That’s perfect because I don’t want to forget it. Ever. After a year’s worth of endless behind the scenes planning and four days worth of running like a mad woman lifting boxes heavier than my Jillian Michael DVD-trained muscles should ever be allowed, WE DID IT.

I Left My Shy Self At Home This Year: BlogU15

Last year I went to The Blog University known as #BlogU. Hashtag getschooled. And there was definitely a lot of schooling to be had there.

Neighborly WIRL Project

Are you Neighborly?

I like to think of myself as a friendly person. I like the idea of knowing my neighbors. If I needed to borrow an egg or a half a cup of sugar.

Well I live in a cul de sac full of people and only the... Read More »

My skin won’t stop me!!!

  My skin won’t stop me!As a 30 year old wife and mother, dog lover, and part-time vet tech…one of my issues with my skin is that I bruise easily.
