As a parent, I would say I’m fairly Old School in terms of how I expect my children to behave. What I say is Law and there’s no arguing with me. My children know this and have had to learn some difficult lessons. That’s not to say that I’m unbending or unwilling to make some [...]

Upon arrival at the Nordstrom Plus department at the Brentwood Nordstrom Rack in St. Louis, I was instantly surprised at the selection. Normally, when you add the words “Plus Size” to any store you can bet that the choices you’ll find will be the same old tired patterns that plus size styles have had [...]

Over the last several weeks my friend LeahPeah and I have talked on the phone nearly every week about race relations in the United States (sorry, world, I’m focused on where I live right now). Even with a friend as great as Leah, this isn’t always an easy conversation to have, but there is something [...]

I have three browsers that I use because some work better than others depending on what I’m working on for both work and professional use. To say Pinterest is addictive is an [...]

The random number generator came up with number 10! Here’s the comment: When my now 7 year old son entered kindergarten, I was so excited for him. We went to the open house night to meet his new teacher, and Robby was ready for the new experience. He wanted to learn, and he knew several [...]

Teaching is expensive and teachers don’t make a lot of money. Also, water is wet. Have you heard? No, really. I have better news than that. I have been subscribing to Brad’s Deals for a little while and have been contacted by them about doing a giveaway (which, is happening a lot lately so look [...]

Look at some of you people! You’ve written two or three follow up posts to BlogHer already and here it is Thursday and I’ve been hounded by several close friends to write a post already! I’ll be honest. When I was contacted about possibly interviewing Glee’s Jane Lynch while I was out in San Diego [...]

I’m not going to write a post with numbers and make a list and tell you what to do or what to wear, but I will briefly say that my daughter, Maddie, will be meeting up with me in San Diego this weekend. So, don’t freak out in front of her or anything. She’ll be [...]
