Remember when I used to do "Themed Weekends"? After several years of hosting them, I laid them to rest in March 2010. I found that giveaways attracted mass crowds of people from sweepstakes sites, but...they lowered real engagement. All that said, I sill DO like (1) gifting you with cool things, (2) trying new products, […]
I recently read the ENTIRE Bible to my toddler and preschooler. It was the Read & Share Kids Bible so I admit it wasn't quite as lengthy as the "real thing." ;) My 4-year-old insisted that we read every single page in chronological order. My almost-2-year-old pointed at every page that had a baby with […]
After many years of trying to pretend it wasn't true, I now admit that more expensive clothes actually fit better, look nicer, and last longer. I'm not necessarily a brand follower, but I do take note of companies that consistently produce high-quality clothing and shoes. Tea Collection is one such company.

We explained that it actually is an expression and literally means "a guy." Today, he said something to me that started with "dude." She […]
As you know, I've been resisting the skinny jean trend with all my might. The ONLY way I can see myself wearing skinny jeans is in the fall/winter with tall boots over them. This look is trendy and terrific. I've seen many of my most stylish friends pull it off with flair and ease. Miraclebody […]
Think of someone who is really hard to shop for. REALLY hard. Do you have a picture of their face in your mind? I have a gift idea for you: athletic shoes. Tennis shoes make a great gift for most anyone - athletic or not. They're equally likely to be used by kids, teens, college […]
Tim & I share quite a few hobbies. We both like running, hiking, traveling, trying new things, tweeting, going on road trips, being outdoors, and talking for hours. We also both like to take pictures - lots of them. That said, we haven't figured out how to organize them most efficiently. As it is currently, […]
