OK, it’s Friday afternoon. I’m not feeling so hot (TMD, rainy gloom, sinuses). BFF Sarah came home from work early. And I’ve got less than 25 minutes to sneak in a blog post. Why 25 minutes (or less), you ask? Because I’m dying my hair! (Even we natural blondes need to rely on a bottleContinue reading “Friday Faves: It’s ALL ABOUT YOU Edition”

Cards Still Make a Difference & Giveaway!
{More info on these cards} We have more excuses than ever not to send cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions: The price of stamps just increased. Again. Cards aren’t eco-friendly (even though they can be recycled and are often made out of recycled materials). And, of course, there just isn’t enough time toContinue reading “Cards Still Make a Difference & Giveaway!”
Friday Faves: OK to NOT be OK Edition
How are you doing? By that I mean, how are you *really* doing? Yesterday the receptionist at one of my doctor’s office (two appointments with doctors in one!!!) asked me this question and I was tired, tearful, and a plain ol’ mess. I thought about saying, “OK,” which would have been a bold-faced lie. IContinue reading “Friday Faves: OK to NOT be OK Edition”
Friday Faves: Snow Globe Living Edition
I’ve been going back and forth on bringing back Friday Faves. Am I ready? What if I do it this Friday and not next Friday? I mean, do I even have any readers left besides my mother? Then I thought, if you write it, they will come. So I fooled around on Facebook for aContinue reading “Friday Faves: Snow Globe Living Edition”
GIVEAWAY!!! Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” is #1 on iTunes!
Wednesdays are killer, right? Last weekend is a distant memory and this weekend seems like it will never arrive. And to make matters worse, we’re in the holiday season—shopping, decorating, baking, avoiding Salvation Army bell ringers. I love the Salvation Army and all they do, but I could do without the bell ringers. I wishContinue reading “GIVEAWAY!!! Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” is #1 on iTunes!”
Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop (Sept. 24-Oct 1)
{Click here for full list of blogs hosting giveaways!} I hereby interrupt my “blogging break” for the Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop. I mean, Banned Books Week only happens once year, right? What’s my opinion of banned books? I think it really depends on the book and *WHY* it’s being banned and from where theContinue reading “Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop (Sept. 24-Oct 1)”

{Click here for a FULL LIST of all the participants!} Congrats to winner Ricki @ Reading Challenged! I am a life long lover of learning, so it is with great sadness that I pass the back-to-school section on my shopping trips.

Now on toContinue reading “Friday Faves: Werewolf Attack Edition”

Friday Faves: Pottermania Edition {probably contains spoilers}
Pottermania is sweeping the nation! I’m sure you are all wondering when I will go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. My answer: not anytime soon. See, I dislike crowds, especially unruly ones. Therefore, while being crammed into a theater with fellow Harry Potter fanatics sounds incredibly fun in theory, the truthContinue reading “Friday Faves: Pottermania Edition {probably contains spoilers}”
