I spend a lot of time on the laptop. It sits on my lap, perched on it’s angled cooling tray with its flat, carpal tunnel inducing keyboard and so-called “mouse” for at least 4 hours a day. Every day. Every. Single. Day. Between my Twitter addiction, my social and business networking, blogging, communicating with companies…
OXY Clinical Acne Solutions Pack Review & Giveaway!
A few weeks ago, I was presented with the opportunity to review a new skin care product, the OXY Clinical Acne Solutions Pack. While I am far past the years when acne was an issue for me, my 13 year old daughter is just beginning to deal with that beast. We all know how hard…

My family is growing by leaps and bounds…and unfortunately, while we are growing, we are also spreading out farther and farther away from each other.

Celebrate our National Parks with The Energizer Bunny Giveaway!
Every summer, I take my daughter to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. It’s a tradition that’s been passed down through my family for generations. We go camping, biking, picnicking – sometimes we just go for drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway and take in beautiful views of the vistas. There are rest stops…
