Yesterday as I was walking with one of our dogs a local driving school’s vehicle went past with a student in the driver’s seat. This happens pretty often since we live in the middle of town and pretty close to the high school and I’ve never really thought much of it, but now I’m actually beginning to […]
Diva Cup – A thank you, a little love, and a GIVEAWAY!
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Diva Cup and the amazing women behind this super fantastic gem of a feminine menstrual product. While I hate my period, feel miserable for a solid week, and wish my husband could feel a few cramps just once, I appreciate the true feeling of freedom that the […]
The Special Needs Mini-Conference at BlogHer
Attending blog conferences can be very overwhelming, especially BlogHer. With over 3000 attendees, a vast expo hall, brand representatives wanting a bit of your time, and friends you want to connect with, it can be hard to focus in on the actual meat of the conference, the sessions.

BlogHer and some of the fabulous women I spent time with while there

Combining his love for all things Disney and a computer program where he could […]
A reality check
I’ll bet just like me you have someone in your life who you can’t wait to call when good or exciting things happen as well as someone who you count on when things aren’t so great. They offer you an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on or shake a pair of pom poms and cheer the loudest […]
Sinful Bliss Cupcakes – A super sweet deal from Juice in the City
One thing I’ve come to appreciate more and more since I began blogging is small businesses and the owners behind them. I’ve been fortunate to meet some pretty amazing people and what truly makes it more special is when I hear their personal story, what inspired or motivated them to take the leap of becoming a business owner. […]
I’m feeling a little stressed right now
I’m beyond excited. Not only am I leaving in less than two weeks for an amazing blogging conference, BlogHer, but it also happens to be in my most favorite city, San Diego. When my husband and I were first married we lived in San Diego. As a matter of fact, we lived about a five minute walk from […]
