So, it's been just over a month since hubby and I got our new Tahoe that I am IN. LOVE. WITH. Seriously. Besides the uber-cool bells and whistles it has, I have to say that the most enjoyable feature is undoubtedly the Sirius XM satellite radio programming! I never in a million years thought I…

It occurred to me today, as I was driving on the slushy, snow-ridden roads on my way to get a haircut and color, that we all (as humans) have our own unique and incredibly special gifts. I mean, I know I've thought that before but for some reason, while I was driving in the silence,…

Ok, so I've not been blogging lately but it's for good reason! I've recently been sent a slew of great books to read and review here on the blog and am looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you — very, very soon. All three of these books are all non-fiction, very easy reads….my kinda…

A few weeks ago I was invited to attend a brand-building conference hosted by the nice folks at Build-a-Bear Workshop. As it turns out, I am so glad it jived with our family's schedule because it's one of the best events I've attended! I, along with about 20 other bloggers from the midwest, were invited to…
