I recently have been working on creating my son’s big boy room! We were ready to move him out of his nursery and into a bigger room that he could grow into.

Plus it’s perfect for garnish in a holiday cocktail! If you’re trying to come up with an inexpensive gift exchange gift, you could add some…

I have had the opportunity to read some STELLAR romance books this year and I can now add Just for the Summer to that list! I reviewed The Paradise Problem about a month ago and it was a 5 star book like this one. I haven’t had such luck with romance books in a while, but this one is seriously…

In about August (I think), I got an email from a producer at The Dodo wanting to feature my videos about Mr. Toad. I worked with…

This has to be the most books I have read in a month! October was a good reading month for me. I think I am finally back on track to my reading goal of 75 books for the year which is encouraging! I also read some GREAT books this month, including a 5 star one that I did a full…
