A bunch of the women in my office were posting on Facebook a few weeks ago that they wanted to get together and have a girl’s night out to see the Chippendales(or some similar group) at a scheduled performance. The show was to be held …
My sister often brings this delicious bean recipe to cookouts and other family gatherings, and it’s definitely a favorite. The best thing about this recipe is that you can add things to suit your personal taste. Throw in any kind of beans you like! My …
Maybe you’ve noticed that my blog posts have been repeats or updates for the past week or so? Maybe you hadn’t even noticed or didn’t care. Ha! It’s all good! Well, the reason for this is because I’ve been on vacation..and decided to take a short break from my blog work as well.

Has It Really Been a Whole Year? Last May, I started thinking about writing a blog. Actually, I think it was a divine intervention thing. A little voice inside my head kept telling me to start a blog, no joke. I’d done little blogs before …

I actually go out of my way to hold back my opinion on many things, simply because I have enough stress in my life without bringing a bunch of bulls*%t controversy into it as well.

This is not my best post, as I’m writing it from a point of raw emotion..but I definitely have something to say. My future daughter-in-law graduated from community college last night. Congratulations to her, she worked very hard for this and we are proud of …
