2012 {To Be Read List}

According to that sweet little widget on Goodreads, I met my goal of reading 12 books during the year 2011. Hmmmm…. that may have been my stated goal on Goodreads, but I didn’t come close to making my personal goal. But I will celebrate the small victories and aim to do better next year. I…

Photography {My Favorite Blogs}

My camera goes just about everywhere I go. I think that’s probably the most important thing that I’ve learned in the past few months that I’ve been reading photography blogs. I’ve also learned that I should practice taking my camera out of Auto and try shooting in Manual (not easy when you have no idea…

Yarn Along

I enjoy crocheting.  I find it therapeutic.  I think I’ve said this before…  But I also love the idea of taking a ball of yarn and turning it into something ~ a cozy scarf, a colorful flower, a snuggly blanket…  Wearing something that I made with my own two hands brings me joy and a…

Family Movie Night: Game Time: Tackling the Past

A few weeks ago, I was lamenting the lack of quality family shows on television and talking on Facebook about how those half~hour comedies and hour long dramas of the late ’80s served as the backdrop for many happy moments in my childhood. My sisters and I used to sit with my mother and laugh…

Why Do Moms Kill?

Disclaimer:  This is by no means a defense of women who kill their children, this is an argument against entities that ignore the cries for help of mothers who are on the edge… Every time we hear stories about a mother who has killed her children, we ask ourselves why?  Why would a mother go…

Day 25: My Day in Great Detail

Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15  Wake up 06:30  Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00  Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music…

Introducing Coffee Talk

A little over a year ago a friend of mine from high school contacted me and, after catching up, he said he was surprised to find me living such “a suburban lifestyle.”  When I asked him to explain, he said he always thought that I’d be living in the middle of a jungle somewhere reporting…

The View Blab Fest

Today is the last day of The View Moms Brand Ambassador campaign.  Sniffle.  I’ve had so much fun tweeting with The View Moms and writing (and reading) blog posts about the show.  I’ll probably do some form of Hot Topic blogging in the future, just not on a regular basis like I’ve been doing for…

The View Blab Fest

I am so ready to get my blab on…  I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve tweeted with the girls.  And, boy, have I missed our daily chat fests. In fact, I have like two minutes to go grab a cup of coffee before the Hot Topics… So today’s edition of The View is…

The View Blab Fest

I haven’t been able to Tweet The View for the past few days because I am down to one eye and following twitter is a little bit difficult right now.  I miss you, The View Moms!  Therefore, I’ll be blogging the Hot Topics, so let the blabbing begin…. Hot Topics Rielle Hunter’s *ahem* GQ Spread…
