Make Time For Mom: Pamper Yourself With New Products From Pantene, Olay, and Covergirl

4 Comments 23 May 2012

Let’s face it. As a mom, much less a very busy mom (what mom isn’t?) there isn’t a lot of time in the day to spend on you. You’re the last one that gets to take a shower, everyone uses your favorite shampoo until you find yourself using the baby shampoo that is leftover from [...]

0 Comments 22 May 2012

When you have a big family and people spread out across the country (for us we have immediate family in Illinois, Maine, Mississippi, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, and California – yowsers) it can be a bit difficult to keep track of everyone’s birthdays.

Knott’s Soak City Orange County Is Open For The Summer!

11 Comments 21 May 2012

I grew up hearing about Knott’s Berry Farm from my mom, who when she was 17 years old, flew out to Southern California with her fellow classmates from New Orleans for her senior trip and had the time of her life. Fast forward 31 years (sorry for basically sharing your age, mom) and I find [...]

With approximately 129 days to go until our wedding (but who’s counting? Oh, wait. Me.) we are in the midst of the most intense wedding planning that we will probably experience. Some of the things don’t seem that exciting to me – booking hotel rooms, booking a car to take us to and from [...]

The kids have been asking for a pet. Because we’re not ready to go the dog route, we told them we can adopt two of the giant garden snails that we’ve seen hanging around in the front yard. Don’t judge me. They love those snails and were so excited to adopt them that I almost [...]

2 Comments 09 May 2012

The fashion world has lost an icon. Vidal Sassoon, the English-born hairstylist who revolutionized women’s hairstyles, passed away today at age 84 at his Los Angeles area home. He (thankfully) brought women the art of the ‘wash and wear’ hairstyle – freeing women of the ‘tyranny of the salon’. His geometric cuts were a departure [...]
