What Do YouTube?

Last week I shared a list of websites that I have been visiting to try to keep what little sanity I have left. But, I left one off. That would be YouTube. I admit, I’m late to the YouTube party. Of course I used it from time to time, but it was never on my top 10 list of websites… Read more »

Thank You Thursday

Today is a heartwarming holiday we need more than ever this year- Thank You Thursday. Many of us are fortunate enough to have someone who went the extra mile to make this “new normal” a little more bearable. Maybe they called just to say hi. Maybe it’s the person who you share a home with who did all the dishes… Read more »

Bon Jovi Appreciation Day

Today is Bon Jovi appreciation day! What? You don’t think this is real? Well, you’re right AND wrong, because today is Make Your Own Holiday Day 🙂 And if I’m the one making the holiday, what else could it be?!?!? If you need suggestions for lesser known songs to fall in love with I’m happy to help. If you want… Read more »
