My girls are getting so big so quickly, it's insane.  Cassie will be turning six months old in just a couple days.  Raina will be two this year! Life comes at you fast.  The day Raina goes to preschool I will probably be a complete mess.  I know that they grow so quickly, and love seeing all the new things they do daily.  I just cannot wrap my head around ever having to "let them go".  I will be a stage 5 clinger mom for sure! Life in Illinois is different, but it's alright.  I miss my … [Read more...]

Growing up, I always dreamed of owning a Chevrolet Cavalier.  I loved the look of the Cavalier, and I thought the size was just right for what I needed at the time.  On Christmas Day of 2004, my parents brought home a Chevrolet Cavalier for me to surprise me.  It was customized a bit, and had some of the sport package so I loved it right away.  The sport package was even sleeker than normal!  I ended up crying like I had just won something on Oprah, I was so excited to see this car on … [Read more...]

This is something I know many will not know about my family.  My grandfather worked at the Chrysler/Dodge plant for many years in his early life.  After being in the Navy, he chose to work for Dodge until he retired in the early 90's.  To this day, any time he makes a vehicle purchase he makes sure he buys only Dodge vehicles.  I found plenty of interesting Dodge vehicles at this website as well when I visited earlier today www.nicholsdodge.com.  Growing up with a Dodge fan in our home, … [Read more...]

I have worked at several companies that made use of branding and items such as lanyards.  Lanyards are important to me, because they help you easily find and have your contact info on you at all times.  I can't tell you how many times I have gotten to work, and realized I did not have an ID I desperately needed.  There were several times that a lanyard saved me from forgetting something at the last minute.  While working in the mall, they also provided us with lanyards so our names were … [Read more...]

I have used, and been a big fan of Search Engine Marketing, for both my blog and small business.  Online marketing has helped me tremendously in several different areas.  I absolutely love spreading the word of my business, and word spreads quickly.  I've learned that running a small business and blog requires putting in a lot of hours to ensure you stay relevant and keep up with all of the latest trends.  A good marketing campaign can help you burst onto the scene and get your name out … [Read more...]

If you have ever had a tree fall onto your car or home, you will feel my pain in this story.  We were lucky that a roofing company was able to get to us the same day similar to Roofing San Rafael.  I was living with my parents at the time, and it was around 7 am.  We lived in southern Georgia, so we would always get hurricane warnings, but usually got nothing other than a little wind and rain off of the coast of Florida.  This particular morning the wind was a little stronger than usual, … [Read more...]
