Like many bloggers I occasionally attend a few events throughout the year that requires me to leave for an occasional conference or blogger event. In May I have 2 trips scheduled which requires me to leave for a few days.

Although I am excited for my trips, I also know my time prior to the trips are very slim. One thing on my mind is packing. I wish I could say Continue Reading
What Makes You 2x’s Stronger? #AngelSoft
Let's face it, being a woman is hard. We make tough important choices every day of every year. The choice to go back to work was a very challenging decision my family & I made.

I needed them, just like they needed me. I wanted to be home, but the economy was making a sudden downturn and I was afraid & worried about Continue Reading

Secret: I am NOT into television programming. I watch NO daytime television & very little prime-time television. I'm a Movie person!

So it is no surprise that I am anxiously waiting for the Academy Awards to take place this weekend. But to me, it's not just about the movies, it's all about the winner's acceptance speech.

Adding Soybean Oil to Your Fun & Festive Baking Recipes + $25 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway #SoyParaSoy #Spon
One of my favorite things to do with the kids during the holidays is bake.

But it seems I'm not the only one baking for my children this time of year. Since they are receiving treats from neighbors, our church family, grandparents and naturally their school classroom, I need to focus on the ingredients I use in my family recipes. I am by far not a "health foodie", Continue Reading

Juju Saves Christmas in da Bayou Combo Book Giveaway Ends 11/24
My family is full of Christmas Traditions. Something we have done since my 12 year old came into our lives is buy a special Christmas Book every year.

Every evening in December we sit before bedtime and read one Christmas book. Over the years, we solely read each book but as our children started to get older we Continue Reading
