"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
December is a crazy month. I feel so much pressure to get stuff done. Now "stuff" includes finishing my ever-growing must finish Christmas movie list, drinking a cup of hot chocolate while sitting on my porch in 75 degree weather, and finding the perfect gifts for e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. Finding THE perfect gift for someone can be... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, one of my Facebook friends posted a status claiming she was upset because someone had reported her picture she had posted that morning. The picture included her son who was about 5/6. He was playing in the bathtub with his toys. The picture was not necessarily super graphic, it hid his "private parts," but... Continue Reading →
I am in no way a political wiz. I should probably be more involved in what is going on in the world, but for me it has become to contentious of a subject. On Sunday, I attended Sunday School and the lesson was on "Good Leaders." We began discussing good leaders throughout the church, from... Continue Reading →

His name is Uncle Bret. He is my Uncle, and everyone I have introduced him to consider him to be their... Continue Reading →
I was a hellion growing up. I was not always a nice goody-goody girl, I had a mean streak. I remember walking home one day with two other boys. These boys had hard lives and were a little rough around the edges, they had an idea to start throwing rocks at people going past. It... Continue Reading →
Today I read a disturbing article that I found on LinkedIn. It was titled What Would it Teach my Kids if I Stopped Working. The article was written by Kara Goldin who is the Founder and CEO of Hint (flavored water). She tells the tale of how she decided to make flavored water (not original... Continue Reading →
I know... Another post about being engaged. To those who are not engaged or dating someone (especially around Valentine's Day), I know you want to do a cornucopia of things to me, including but not limited to vomiting on me, punching me, or throwing darts at me. I have included a picture to print off,... Continue Reading →
