Camping is not my idea of an ideal vacation.  Anyone over the age of 10 knows that camping is not really a vacation – it can be fun but it is also a TON of work for the adults in charge. But as a mother of three children I feel responsible for exposing them to the [...]

Spring Break Camping – Camp El Tesoro Spring break is coming up and my family always likes to take a little excursion to celebrate the time off. We don’t make it a huge trip – usually just a long weekend somewhere fun that allows us to get away from the everyday stress of the school [...]

European Wax Grand Opening in Plano Beauty usually doesn’t come cheap but in this case, it’s even better than cheap – it’s FREE! European Wax is so confident you will love their wax and service that they are offering free unlimited services to the first 100 guests who make a reservation for Premier week, February [...]

I remember where I was when, as a child, I realized I might be good at something. I was in 5th grade walking home from school feeling badly about myself because many of my friends were busy preparing for their weekend activities. They were cheerleaders and dancers and even though we were only 11, they [...]

I recently drove a Chevy Traverse, White Diamond Edition (ohh la la!) for two weeks and got to experience the absolute thrill that comes with driving such a well made vehicle. (The countdown for replacing my own claptrap has begun.) Chevy even gave me a $40 SpaFinders gift certificate to spend during my tenure in [...]

Halloween is over and it’s officially time to start getting ready for Christmas! This is my favorite time of year and even though I spend it running from store to special event (and back again), I completely embrace all the sentiment and nostalgia associated with the holidays. One tradition that I especially enjoy is the [...]

Forty and Fabulous…….With a Little Bit of Help I recently turned 40 and in an attempt to pull my focus off the dreaded number, my husband threw me a big fortieth birthday party and invited tons of our friends to help celebrate. As any self respecting husband will tell you, doing something in your home [...]

It’s almost here and I’m really not sure how I’m going to handle it. I’m going to be 40 in a week and I’m convinced we have our dates confused on the calendar. When did this happen? I can still vividly remember counting the days until my 16th birthday – surely it hasn’t been 24 [...]

Chevy has given me ANOTHER vehicle to drive for them and this time, it’s the three row Traverse.  A perfect car for my family and our busy lifestyle. Check out my little video talking about what I love best about the Traverse. *It’s really dark because I filmed it at night. When else is a [...]

One of my best friends has breast cancer and it’s not fair. I realize that cancer isn’t discriminating but my 38 yr old vegan yoga instructor friend is really the last person I would have guessed would be inflicted. To make matters worse she’s also a single mother of three children who works full time, [...]
