A few posts ago, I wrote about going to my very first casting call for a fashion show. I have some super exciting news – I made the cut! Today, at the La Femme Fashion Show I will make my debut on the runway (minus that one time as a kid when I walked the … Continue Reading →
Summer is almost over. I can’t believe it. Since I’ve become a mother, this is the fastest summer on record.
This weekend I went to a huge blogging conference called BlogHer. If you are a blogger, this is a huge event. It is comprised mostly of women bloggers, brands, and parties.

Last year for Christmas, my mother-in-law gave our family an annual membership pass to the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village. It has been one of the best gifts ever!

I remember the happy tears streaming down my face when the ultrasound technician told me our baby was a girl. I remember … Continue Reading →
My first true happy place is the beach just right of the West Tower at Ocean Creek in Myrtle Beach, especially at sunrise when all I hear are the waves gently breaking on the shore. To me, the beach holds unexplained powers of rejuvenation and healing. The power of the surf reminds me that I … Continue Reading →
