BlogU: I Had a Weekend

BlogU: I Had a Weekend

I went to Baltimore. I went to BlogU. I had never been to Baltimore or a blogging conference before. I had no idea what to expect. I was terrified.  Before I got on the plane, before I bought the tickets and reserved the room, before I told Jill that maybe we needed to go to a blogging conference, I spent a lot of time trying to talk myself out of going. Jill and I are a one-income show. That one ... Read More »

Please Help Me Not To Look Like An Umpa Lumpa!

  Ok so you want a nice tan glow, but everyone is telling you to stay out of the sun.  “It will give you wrinkles! You will get skin cancer!”  Yes I agree with their advice!  But we can get that sun-kissed glow without the sun or tanning bed – please people – get out of the tanning beds!   All those self tanners 10 years ago gave the future of self tanners a bad rap.  ...

Dear Judgy Judgersons

It’s a mean and brutal sorority that you don’t have to ask to be in because you are thrown into it whether you like it or not.

Making the Big Shot

Making the Big Shot
