Sometimes I dream of working a 9 to 5 job. Where I can SIT at a desk, wearing something other than a blue polo and khaki pants, and sip a cup of HOT coffee. I could have had such a job, or most any job for that matter, but I chose to become a retail pharmacist. When people ask me why I chose to become a pharmacist I don’t really have a good answer. To be honest, I kind of just picked it. Alt... Read More »
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. I might be at home playing with my daughter and I run into the coffee table…yep, gonna leave a nice big bruise!

I know I’m not the only person who has been guilty of allowing Facebook to completely distract me from family time, work, or other things. It’s pretty easy to allow that to happen. You’re in the middle of working on something and all of a sudden your phone lights up to tell you that one of your good friends sent you a message on Facebook and the next thing you know, itR...

I had no idea what to expect and tried to hold no expectations lest they be the wrong sort. I wanted a pure, completely real experience. And there I was. BLOG U 2015 Land of the bloggers. The bigs, the littles, and all the in betweens. Honest to God I had no idea of what to expect. I just know I needed – no – WANTED to learn more. And how much there is to learn. “Oh. My. God.
