Here is a photo llink to a few photos from our sons 5th birthday!

Time flys and we did too, with such a crazy busy weekend it was fun, but man am I whiped!

Teenagers are not known for making smart choices. They hang out with the wrong crowd, skip a few classes, and maybe even have a few drinks. But did you know these may be the safest bad choices they make? ChatRoulette.com has become very popular amongst the tween and teen crowd. This website randomly selects a person for your child to have a video chat with. What is shown and talked about on this website is not monitored and cannot be…

Who's up for a little story?



Alright, gather round.



So the story goes that back when I was wee (let's say four), I had a thing for the color red.…

We buried my grandfather today. It has taken a couple of days for the family to gather around, from far and wide through ice storms and blizzards. At first I was fine and able to control
my tears by focusing on my memories of my grandfather.

As my friends and I were discussing the possibility of a girls’ getaway weekend, I decided that it was time to disclose one of my greatest phobias. Hotel Rooms!!!! The very thought of a sleeping in a hotel makes me cringe. You never know what has happened in that room, who has been sick, or what little critters they have left behind.…

I have a rule.



Ok. I have a lot of rules.





But this rule is one of the biggest. And if asked, MacGyver will be able to tell you what it is.



Don't get arrested. If you do ever arrested, you get one phone call. Don't waste it by calling…

Deny it if you will, but we have all had “that” friend at some point in our lives. The friend that is needy, possessive, or always right. The friend that you are embarrassed to admit you let walk all over you. The friend that always turned everything you said, no matter how polite you were, into something negative. If you are one of the lucky few who have been spared, keep your radars up because they will find you (or unfortunately, you may be “that”…

In my spare time, I bake.





A client asked me to

create another candy box cake for her husband's birthday, and I was

happy to comply. She wanted chocolate toffee, his favorite flavor. I

thought it would be no big thing to add some toffee chips to my

delicious chocolate cake recipe, and I made an extra big batch: enough

for a 10" heart, 24 mini cupcakes…

Writing a product review may at first seem easy but then suddenly become overwhelming. You have a responsibility to yourself, your audience and to the brand who has provided the item for you. Write the post from your perspective and in the style that is typical of your…

The Birthday party for my grandmother and daughter was a success! A lot of fun with family with more cake than we could eat. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I tried making the Topsy-Turvy Whimsical cake. It didn't look too bad, but definitely not like the professionals can do. If you're interested in it, you can find the directions here. As for me, I'll probably not try this cake again until they making baking pans specially designed for this type of cake! Enjoy!

Anyone worth his or her salt in PR will tell you not to announce something on a Friday unless you want it to fly under the radar. Friday announcements tend to go unnoticed, buffered as they are by weekend days, making it difficult to generate "buzz." So I'm going against the grain here by announcing my own personal two-week write-a-thon. Reason? I'm excited and I don't want to wait until Monday. Not to mention I could use the weekend to write!…

As the XXI Winter Olympic Games dominate our television, my family has been spending a lot of time pondering what winter sport we would be capable of participating in. With my daughters,… Continue
