My Kind Of Skating, Requires Back Up ~ Stars On Ice!

in Family on

Skating for me requires a very strong man (my Hubby to hold me up), those big boards (that I use to stop), and ideally Advil….both before and after.  I am clearly not a skating kind of girl.  I do however appreciate the beauty, grace and true athleticism required for a full grown being to launch themselves across a frozen piece… View Post

I am ridiculously over the top excited about a little trip I have coming up. I was thrilled to be invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in Orlando Florida and have been counting down the days until our departure like a little kid.  As the date draws near my “To Do” list seems to be getting longer, but… View Post

Once again I find there are a few things in the Suburbs that are simply ticking me off! *When I think I have found the perfect parking spot, pull on up to it, so excited to be just steps away from the front door at the massive plaza only to find a ridiculous clown size scooter parked in that spot. … View Post

CHEF’s Box ~ Inspiration For The Kitchen

in Uncategorized on
