I have been dealing with wrist and finger pain for quite some time. Over the last 2 years my wrist pain has gotten worse. In fact, the pain which is predominately on my right hand has now spread to my left hand as well. But like most women, I don't have time to go to the doctor. I force myself to leave work early for my routine dental appointments. But leaving my job early during the week is very hard. In fact, if I can avoid it, I will. Walgreens has revamped their Take Care Clinics to the Continue Reading
Road Tripping through Northwest Arkansas #SoFabCon
I recently returned from a Social Shopper Media Conference called SoFabCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. Since I am about 10 hours away from Bentonville, Arkansas we decided driving from the New Orleans area would be cost efficient. Traveling to Arkansas we encountered heavy rain, wind and the probability of snow so we truly couldn't enjoy it's beauty. But when returning to New Orleans, we saw Arkansas through a whole new light. Isn't the location beautiful? I wish we would have had an Continue Reading
Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog
This post is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. They say "Home is where the heart is" but sometimes being at home isn't always a possible. Being a blogger, I sometimes have to travel out of state without my family. Naturally I can connect with family on social media, but sometimes you want to hear your loved ones voice or have a private quick conversation as time permits. As connected as I may be to my mobile device, my entire family isn't as connected do Continue Reading

Discover The All-New 2013 Nissan Sentra #descubresentra
I remember when I was a senior in high school, the parking lots were full of teen cars. Some were brand new, some belonged to the parents of the students, and some were used vehicles bought specifically for a new driver. One vehicle we saw a lot growing up was a Nissan Sentra. Parents chose Nissan due to it's being economical, dependable, and long-lasting. Since I didn't drive when I was in high school, my 1st (almost) New Car was a Nissan. It was 3 years old and previously a government car Continue Reading

Game of Thrones – Characters We Love To Hate

Dole Fruit Parfait Healthy Grab & Go Breakfast / Lunch Solution #DoleParfaitEscape
As a busy mother, time management is a huge issue for me. I struggle at times to find a balance between taking care of my family and taking care of myself. Monday through Friday I head over to work once both my children are at school.

Woah...Big No-No!! Aside from the added expense of buying Continue Reading
