So DESPITE the powers that mock my life, we have had a great few days. Mostly. Well…lets just say everything sort of worked out as planned. Which is saying a lot. No really…it is. A dear friend came for a visit with her two hilarious daughters in between HER hectic life on Friday and we […]

Being that this is NOT a review blog, I don’t say yes to every single review request or PR pitch I get emailed to me. NOT that I am getting millions, but I am getting more and more. However, I have always said that if the product or service fits with my family and is […]
