A Brush with Celebrity After #BlogHer
BlogHer was a whirl. A veritable blur of activity. I had my family with me, which added to the chaos. Although really I was so much in my own world of BlogHer that I hardly noticed my family. I don’t…
Day One Musings from Me Trip to Southern California: #BlogHer11 and @SeaWorld

Catch a Screening of @SuburgatoryABC before Tonight’s Premiere — ABC 8:30 EST

Tiddlywinks. Tiddlywinks? When I think back to my childhood games, the first thing that comes to mind is Tiddlywinks. Do you know this game? A small mat, some large plastic pieces, a smaller plastic piece, and that’s it. My memories…
