Today is national Ding a Ling day! Depending on where you look, there are two meanings of this holiday. #1 Act like a Ding a Ling- aka let your freak flag fly. Be goofy.

We are into the swing of Christmas preparations – how are you coming on yours? I admit I still have a LOT to do – especially since my husband and I are hosting a family Christmas in our home.

And while it got a little cold towards the end of the night… Read more »
The past few days I’ve been dealing with an awful bout of vertigo. I’m happy to say that I’m finally feeling a lot better, much thanks to my amazing chiropractor Dr. Dave. He saw me post a cry for help on Facebook on a Saturday morning and reached out me offering his assistance even though his office is closed on… Read more »
I left my house at 10am on Friday morning and didn’t get back until 6pm Sunday night. What struck me while driving home was just how many different emotions I experienced in the span of about 72 hours. I went through everything from sadness and anger while helping a dear friend move (due to her pending divorce) to the enjoyment… Read more »
Today is National Hamburger day! What would any backyard barbecue or fast food joint be without this staple of the American diet? I bet a lot of you are having burgers today! Of course there are as many variations on the hamburger as there are people. Some folks prefer a gourmet version with tons of crazy toppings and some of… Read more »
