Don’t get me wrong, I love the whole Starbucks experience and culture and really want to support their business, but it’s just not possible to go there every morning. So, I set out to perfect my DIY version and I nailed it!!

Nine is the New Thirteen

We are on the edge at my house. A very delicate, confusing, frustrating edge. You see, I have a nine year old. And not just any nine year old, but one of the female kind.

I understand it’s a struggle, and people warned me, but honestly, I thought all this drama was saved for th... Read More »

Dear Taco Bell

Employee’s Confess: The Downside of Working for Apple

  Apple ranks as one of the top tech companies in the world. I mean, who doesn’t have or use an Apple gadget these days? Their computers, iPhones, iPads, watches, etc. are dominating the market, so you’d think the brains behind these incredible devices would be worshiped. After all, without these tech people, Apple wouldn’t have anything! Right? Maybe not. Take a look into w... Read More »

He Is Good

After the incredible response from our “Love, Loss and Forgiveness” WIRL yesterday, I thought it would be fitting to share the sermon given from Forest Hill Pastor, David Chadwick, on the day of the Eddings family tragedy. His words came straight from the heart and ring so true. When I attended the church service last Sunday, David reiterated many of the same powerful words and it was ... Read More »

To paraphrase R.E.M. ~ It was The End of My World as I Knew It.. and I’ll Be Fine

I have struggled with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and LPR  (laryngopharyngeal reflux) for many years.
