Last summer my daughter was still pretty new to Sea Scouts and she wasn't quite ready to go on the cruise. This … [Read more...]
If you are going to BlogHer 11 in San Diego, you are in for a treat! I attended BlogHer 10 in New York last year, and I am super excited that it is on "my" coast this year.

They also offer a print at home option – which is same day, no delay. CityDeals.com is already in many cities across the US and they are moving West to San Francisco in 2011. How does it … [Read more...]
When we were visiting our friends in Oregon, I fell in love with their new little dog, "Hey You". He is also known as "Tiny Man". No matter what his name is, he is just the cutest little thing ever. He is full of personality and he won my heart over. He would settle in the lap of any willing person, and I was the honored one {several times}. My … [Read more...]
